elite eforts ‘to make machines look intelligent’ were proceeding hand-in-hand with attempts to degrade and render invisible the ‘human skills which accompany them’Andthe term **interpretation machine** implicitly acknowledges these political and historical realities, whereas the phrase **artifcial intelligence** tends to hide them.

How Americans treat TikTok is how all other nations should treat Facebook products. As a threat to national sovereignty.Aka: the opposite of what Brazil is doing. Here, *everything* is Whatsapp.

@georgia Add to it a deliverable, so it's not too abstract. A document is a deliverable. You do an exercise, have a deliverable and move on.

A city that you can't live in is a failure. A system that can't provide decent housing is a failure.

We have a two-tier system: If you own a home, then the longer you stay put, the cheaper your "rent" gets. If you rent a home, the longer you stay put, the more expensive your home gets over time.

Or how someone else said: the fact that your mortgage is tax deductible but your rent is not, is a form of class warfare

@dredmorbius I think html links are prime for phishing abuse. Like, label says one thing, link goes to another.I'd prefer an html safe markdown, where links appear as open graph (open graph are pretty, yes, but main feature is to vet link before clicking)

The Metabolic Rift, peeps: The metabolic interaction of humans with the rest of nature constitutes the basis of living, but the capitalist way of organizing human interactions with their ecosystems inevitably creates a great chasm in these processes and threatens both human and non-human beings.
