  • Even pure scientific discovery is an aggressive, penetrative act… There is always some proof that scientists were there, making their discoveries. Discovery is always a rape of the natural world. Always.

    To call the unimpeded development of AI data centers anything other than the rape of the natural world is confusing to me. It’s a very apt description, I think, and what Gretchen has admitted to is that she’s willing to rape the world. Explicitly against the wishes of the people.

    If your position is that the rampant creation of data centers and their environmental impact is not the rape of the natural world, then I can’t really help you. We fundamentally disagree there.

    Edit: That’s Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, by the way.
















  • I don’t think the payout is as important as taking money away from tech giants is. It isn’t an efficient usage of the money, of course that money could be spent to greater effect than just splitting it up piecemeal. Yes, it likely is a pittance compared to what billionaires are worth. However if literally everyone struck these people at the same time, class action lawsuits being brought against all tech giants alongside general strikes — suddenly they’re hemorrhaging money outside of the lawsuits and their technofascist bubble pops.

    Certainly naive to believe — as I’ve said the people I’m talking about are mostly spineless cowards that are contributing directly to fascism. I have no misgivings about whether what I want to happen will happen or not.
