6 września w Warszawie szansa posłuchać na żywo rozmowy z bardzo mądrym człowiekiem. Promować swoją książkę "Gównowacenie" (ang. "Enshittification") przyjedzie do nas Cory Doctorow. Warto.

I just bought his latest audiobooks and I really appreciate, that you can buy and download them directly from his homepage and not from Amazon/Audible. Incidently, I discovered, that the Podcast client oft my choice (Antennapod) can easily also play local files. You simply choose "add podcast" and then choose a local file. #antennapod #audiobooks #audible #corydoctorow #doctorow #enshittification

Good write up. I enjoyed reading it.
I, like you, will say what I have to say about #GenAISlop but I will not enter into arguments with #AIPsychotics. Instead, I’ll get a dose of #CoryDoctorow @pluralistic and come away smiling and a lot more relaxed. Still, the #AIBubble troubles me somewhat because of the inevitable economic fallout when (not if) it bursts.

Thanks for the read.


Lesetipp: Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) erklärt, warum die eigentliche Gefahr der „KI“ nicht in einer allmächtigen Maschine liegt, sondern darin, dass Menschen zu ihren Hilfsorganen gemacht werden: Sie erledigen die mühsame Arbeit, überwachen die Fehler und tragen am Ende die Verantwortung.

Eine kluge, scharfe und sehr unterhaltsame Kritik am KI-Hype. Sorgfältig von Menschen, hauptsächlich @reticuleena und @hopfgeist, übersetzt und leicht gekürzt, denn eine KI wäre Doctorows Stil und Argumenten nicht gerecht geworden.

"#CoryDoctorow : It’s been 25 years since I started working for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an American nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting human rights on the internet. I’ve found myself in dozens of countries working with activists, politicians and civil servants to untangle the complex technical questions raised by the internet, and every one of our discussions ended in the same place. “OK,” they’d say, “you’ve definitely laid out the best way to regulate tech, but we can’t do it.”

Why not? Because – inevitably – the US trade rep had beaten me to every one of those countries and made it eye-wateringly clear that if they regulated tech in a way that favoured their own people, industries and national interests, the US would bury them in tariffs."

Let's hope you are right @pluralistic and we now get to do better!

US-Big-Tech reguliert sich jetzt offiziell selbst


Zucker­bergs Chef-Lob­by­is­tin wird die Lei­te­rin der iri­schen Daten­schutz­be­hör­de. Als wäre das nicht pikant genug: Aus Niamh Sweeneys Zeit ist der Kon­zern in zwei Daten­schutz­ver­fah­ren ver­wi­ckelt, die über 1,5 Mrd. US-$ teu­er wer­den könn­ten. Doch jetzt ist die Ver­tei­di­ge­rin für die Ankla­ge zustän­dig. Ein Lehr­stück für Regu­lie­rungs­ver­ein­nah­mung, das zeigt, wie neo­li­be­ra­le Poli­tik die Digi­tal­wirt­schaft in eine „post-demo­kra­ti­sche Zone“ ver­wan­delt hat.

#corydoctorow said some stuff on his post "Wallet Voting" Sep 13 2025 that gave me the idea of a new, improved, #lottery

A lottery where most of the money ⭕doesn't go to the lottery company, or the State, etc.

Die Gelddruckmaschine von Big-Tech


Apple, Ama­zon, Meta, NVi­dia gel­ten als Stars des Akti­en­markts. Ihre Akti­en stei­gen und stei­gen. Inves­to­ren rei­ßen sich dar­um. Das gibt ihnen schein­bar unbe­grenz­te Mög­lich­kei­ten – solan­ge der Hype hält. Der Autor und Netz-Akti­­vist Cory Doc­to­row erklärt, wie die Geld­druck­ma­schi­ne bei Big-Tech funktioniert.
