Keine einfache Zeit im Moment. Also Raum zum Innehalten während man von einem Alptraum in den anderen springt. Darunter gewoben ein Netz aus nackter primordialer Angst und purem Entsetzen. Überall kleine Puzzlestücke des grossen Bösen, die sich langsam ineinanderfügen, um ihr Antlitz zu offenbaren.

“Den Aufstieg des Autoritarismus hat Le Guin schon früh geahnt. 2014 sagte sie bei der National Book Foundation, dass wir Schriftsteller brauchen werden, die sich an die Freiheit erinnern können – Dichter, Visionäre, «realists of a larger reality».”

@adriandaub.bsky.social I was just reading an article you wrote in disruption and I wondered if ever anyone did research on the effects of drugs like cocaine and ketamine on warped decisionmaking in the startup scene. Much disruption and techbro lore looks like a mass psychosis due to drug abuse.

#ProgressivePhantastik #QueerSF Vereinzelten ist das schon zu viel. Doch die Wahrheit ist: Uns fehlen noch so viele Zukünfte! Wenn ich sehe, wie die Szene als Reaktion auf Blacklash die Vielfalt nur mehr feiert, spüre ich:Die Revolution hat gerade erst begonnen & sie ist phantastisch dank euch uvm!

It's an interesting time to be teaching a course on the political economy of AI.
*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history
* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system
* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

Rechte Milliardäre kaufen Politiker = Nepotismus + Vetternwirtschaft = Korruption = Ende der Chancengleichheit = Loyalität ist wichtiger als Qualifikation = unqualifizierte Leute an Schlüsselpositionen = eine Epidemie der schlechten Entscheidungen = ein Zerfall wichtiger Einrichtungen = Armut

Die Realität ist aktuell so absurd, dass man kaum mit Fiktion nachkommt. Dinge passieren im Alltag, die man kaum durchs Lektorat bekäme, würde man sie in eine Geschichte verpacken.
