@…
At the corporate event everyone is wearing a name tag with your title and the company you work for. Guests are circling each other trying to read the name tag and see if you're interesting enough to talk to. Almost no one is there to simply socialize. They are trying to sell you something, sway your opinion, or add your details to their records for future use. In the background the conference has a software app that allows attendees to track and target each other. The goal is to add as many people as possible to your network, or insert yourself into their contact list. It's rare to make a new friend.

I have some sketches of an essay that I need to write, but I think it's worth brain-dumping a bit more in the mean time.
#LLMs are an attempt to make tech grow forever. But like, how many "your mom/a friend, but done by a precarious worker instead" apps do we really need? Everything right now is in the AI grift hole, but there's almost nothing of interest (even if you ignore the ethical concerns). Like, no, I don't fucking want a robot to lie to me about my groceries. That doesn't sound like a useful feature. There's a lot of useless shit being pumped out to prop up the bottom line, and a lot of people just want to be able to use their old phone for more than a couple of years.
No one is happy with this. No one wants this. Except the billionaires who are forcing us all to drink the capitalism koolaid, because they'd rather exterminate life on earth than live in a world where they experience consequences.
Nothing grows forever. That's not how literally anything in reality works, or has ever worked, at all in history. Some people think that the universe itself may work like that, but that's only an educated guess. Finite things don't grow forever. Every organism, every society, every technology, every dynamic and adaptive system we have ever known goes through a growth phase and then goes in to a stabilization phase. Or, following a Malthusian pattern, grows until it reaches a catastrophic point and collapses. Like lemmings. Or reindeer. Or cancer.

A friend reminded me that today is remembrance day in the Netherlands. Tomorrow, May 5th, is Liberation Day, which celebrates the end of Nazi occupation. On May 4th, at 20:00, the whole country has two minutes of silence to remember those who were lost.
There's something about this that is powerful.
There's a statue that I pass by regularly. It is a monument to the resistance. It is a place where Nazis executed prisoners without trial as retribution for resistance. This evening there were Dutch flags there, though I think about how many anarchists, like Wieke Bosch (who I didn't know anything about), were killed resisting.
I wonder how many names of our martyrs are hidden behind so many national flags. I feel like I should spend more time learning, and think about them on the evening of May 4th.

Speaking of missing analysis, a friend sent this my way and I think it does a pretty good job of explaining the current moment:

We got some eggs from a friend who has chickens, so I whipped up a little breakfast sandwich with one of the pretzel buns I made last week.
The cheese is store-bought though… not sure I’m ready to start making my own cheese!

Ukraine Update: Even as drones and bullets whiz through the air, people are rebuilding their homes and returning.
Bullets and bombs are details you can get used to, but freedom from occupation by Russian monsters transforms the war into an existential threat that can be managed.
These Ukrainians are just fucking amazing. I am in awe.

Ukraine update: Since 2014, warfare has evolved to a new paradigm of measuring territorial gains.
With modern drone technology, huge areas of the country are unlivable for Ukrainian civilians because of Russian control, even though the troops may be "stuck" some 200 kilometers away.
It is now about lethal control, more than invasive occupation.
