We really need to change this. Politics shouldn’t just be a career path to lobbying

Every retired federal resources minister since 2001 has gone on to work in fossil fuels
Lobbying has become big business, with around 727 lobbyists registered in the national capital, more than three times the number of elected officials sitting in parliament.

Reflecting on this piece I wrote and wondering what new forms of playfully persistent non-violent civil disobedience are needed now?

What would sacred refusal look like today? And what would make it joyful, collective, globally synchronised and impossible to ignore?

More great news for the AI brand
NEW: A secretive surveillance company is building "AI persona" bots for cops intended to gather evidence on people. Personas include "college protesters," "radicalized" divorced moms, children. We have docs that shows how it works and what cops can do with it:

Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

Thank you, @m3metix.bsky.social for feeling all the feels with me in the first episode of #PathfindersPodcast in a year in which the lunacy of tech is already at 11. And for having this mind-bending yarn on how silicon bodies are shaping our human bodies & exploring some possible future horizons.
How do our human bodies fit into an AI-enabled future?
Exploring the tension between how Big Tech wants to shape our bodies with AI and what our bodies actually need, as current events force us to face the traumas and shadows of extractive colonialism.

Want a nuanced discussion on the whole agentic discourse. This is worth a listen.

Tired of technologists arguing about intelligence benchmarks without questioning the term intelligence?

@m3metix.bsky.social and I sure are, so we recently wondered & pondered on our #podcast: How intelligent do AI companions actually need to be?
