Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

We had so much fun postering around Amazon's offices to show that Amazon corporate workers are pushing back on the company's reckless AI plans. Sign our letter if you work at Amazon or sign our solidarity statement if you don't, link in bio!

TY to friends at @stand.earth @troublemakers.bsky.social!

Because here's the thing: besides the messianic religious fanatics wanting to build the Third Temple and the tech oligarchs wanting to circle the planet in data centres, EVERYONE - across the political spectrum - hates where they are taking us.

"We experience profound cognitive dissonance when CEOs talk about how AI will create a prosperous future of creativity supported by Universal Basic Income, all while fighting tooth and nail against the taxation that supports even the most basic social safety net." —AECJ member Amy Wang in The Hill.

"Amazon is a bit like the businesses that sold shovels during the gold rush. It is in the company’s interest to proclaim loudly and often that there really is a lot of gold out there."

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.
A few important points here

- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false

- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

loved this conversation. Anyone need a crash course on why the intersection of AI, fascism and climate breakdown? We tried to cover it all!

In the words of an AWS software engineer, "When the AI bubble pops, Amazon will have taken a huge amount of land, water, and wealth, and the public needs to know."

...“The company has been shutting down ways for people to talk openly and critically about AI, which is dangerous, and that’s why this letter is important. Amazon used to be a genuinely innovative place, but leadership’s AI push has meant arbitrary quotas and benchmarks that make worse products.”

The letter has 3 demands:

1. No AI with dirty energy;
2. No AI without employee input;
3. No AI for violence, surveillance, or mass deportation.

“The letter asks for the kind of future I want to work on, and that Amazon claims to value,” says an anonymous senior software engineer.

They continue..
