 @davidthewid @ticho @histoftech And also this: "A key question remains for which we may never have a satisfactory answer: what if the hype was always meant to fail? What if the point was to hype things up, get in, make a profit, and entrench infrastructure dependencies before critique, or reality, had a chance to catch up?" We need to wise up to the exploitation/extraction our economic model is based on and how that's simply not sustainable in the #ClimateCrisis 3 comments
@ticho while I don't want to minimize the impact of the info/disinfo firehose, I don't see that as the source of problem. The firehose is an intentional tool used by companies for exploitation/extraction purposes (and overconsumption driving the climate crisis). No matter how much I'm able to tell BS from good info, AI was still shoved into everything. The firehose just makes it easier to obsfuscate. Get savvy, yes, but we have to change how the entire economy works. @susankayequinn @davidthewid @ticho @histoftech This is very much what's going on. Delighted to see @histoftech 's name on the paper too! I've long been a fan of their work. |

@susankayequinn @davidthewid @histoftech Primarily we as a civilization need to figure out how to process all those oodles of information that come at us from all directions, and learn how to discard those which are intended to disinform and manipulate.
That, to me, is the central issue behind most contemporary problems, including these hype market bubbles.
