The third stack is here.

A path for ai that isn’t the stale U.S.–China binary, but something assembled, sovereign, and stubbornly local.

I really enjoyed this documentary by @valentinpetit.bsky.social and his team. This, to me, is the future of reporting: deep dives into difficult topics without compromising journalistic integrity.

Congratulations, team. You've done it again!

“Vietnam’s third stack is more than a hedge against platform dependence: it is a rehearsal for a future in which AI agents — trained locally, governed modularly — enact a worldview not defined by Silicon Valley or Beijing.”

This report is how I have channeled my rage as the tech industry has grown in wealth and power at the expense of workers, communities, and the environment. The old mechanisms of reform aren’t sufficient in a time of AI ascendance and data center accelerationism datasociety.net/library/turn...
