Here’s part 1 of our four-part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how generative AI is sold through a complete misunderstanding of the concept of labor - and myth-building by companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI.

“"So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?"

I said, "Yes, that's right."”

It’s nice to imagine a time in, say, five years from now where we recover the joy of humans making things again.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

As predicted: “Oracle [founded by Trump ally Larry Ellison], Andreessen Horowitz [founded by Trump/Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] consortium will control 80% of TikTok…” 9/16/25

Ellison & Andreessen also funded Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, so this is kind of like capturing Boardwalk & Park Place. 1/
Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz consortium will control 80% of TikTok in U.S.: Report
Current users of the app will be asked to shift to a new app, which TikTok has built and is testing.

Since they have actually let me into the US, you can listen to me talk at #4S2025 about "Exit from the Valley" in person.

The story I'll be telling is way less networked than you would think - it's about soil, brick and mortar. And it is a story of citizen protest halting big tech mega projects.

In a long, whiny post about a recent Atlantic article about him, white supremacist Jordan Lasker posts an incompetent analysis using the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study dataset that appears to have been illegitimately accessed and then stolen by one of his coauthors.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

CfP for Navigationen. Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften 2/26.

»Technofascism«

Glancing at current headlines, it is palpably clear that the utopian tech visions of the 1990s have morphed into something darker. Let's talk about the techno in technofascism - again.
CFP for Navigationen. Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften 2/26. »Technofascism« What is technofascism, and how can it be conceptually clarified? • How does today’s technofascism differ from classical fascism or other contemporary right-wing movements? • What is “techno” about Technofascism? What technophilosophical approaches can be identified to specifically characterize this phenomenon? • What are current examples of techno-fascist endeavors and theories? • What are the theoretical points of reference for techno-fascist thinking? • Is there an appropriation of classic left-wing texts and approaches? Submission details We welcome proposals for contributions (500-word abstract, 200-word author bio, and two key references) that shed light on the topic of technofascism from various interdisciplinary perspectives. Deadline Proposal: 15.07.25. Accepted Papers: 28.02.2026. Please send proposals to Laura Hille: laura.hille@leuphana.de, Felix Hüttemann: fhuettema@uni-bonn.de, and Milan Stürmer: sturmer@esphil.eur.nl
