@tante quite strange that you've managed to post it here via a bunch of quite profound technologies.

@tante I see the "Waldorf School" in that comic. Run away from these, they are racist cult in the same brainwashed vein of techbros, but far worse.English:https://scribe.rip/age-of-awareness/waldorf-schools-are-inherently-racist-cults-91193d1fbef6Spanish:https://circuloesceptico.org/el-ataque-a-la-educacion-y-las-escuelas-waldorf/

@tante None of this is even about progress. It's connected VC techbros' attempt to seize control of a body of work that they did not create, and to impose ever-increasing rents on people who want to use it. It's not progress to build a teleporter if all you want it for is theft.

@tante I remember there was some talk about degrowth for the economy in Europe and The Economist talked about it as if it was insanity, just in case you forgot America's priorities and (in general) Europe's priorities.

@tante Huh. Lord Byron is a good guy. Reading this comic just sent me down a rabbit hole of research on Lord Byron, who was actually really cool.

@tanteHard pass. If a job can be automated, it should be. Including my own.

@tante These AI people never watch movies. They should check out the ‘Terminator’ series!

@tante I get the sentiment, and I agree people come first. But I'm not sure fucking shit up is the answer.We got much better ways of doing things.Consider this:Twitter became a toxic stew of bullshit, bc reasons.It is now dying a trembling death as advertisers and users flee for their sanity.The power of people to do things constructively through boycotts and a general refusal to participate is profound.
