Capitalism is just a loose collection of people who have loosely agreed to loosely follow a loose set of rules that keep regulation loose so that those at the top can be loose with their ethics and be handsomely rewarded.
Have We Had Enough of Capitalism?
And why do we only get two choices?

📣 NEW -- In The Economist, discussing the privacy perils of AI agents and what AI companies and operating systems need to do--NOW--to protect Signal and much else!

www.economist.com/by-invitatio...
An illustration of me, and the headline: "AI agents are coming for your privacy, warns Meredith Whittaker The Signal Foundation’s president worries they will also blunt competition and undermine cyber-security" To put it bluntly, the path currently being taken towards agentic AI leads to an elimination of privacy and security at the application layer. It will not be possible for apps like Signal—the messaging app whose foundation I run—to continue to provide strong privacy guarantees, built on robust and openly validated encryption, if device-makers and OS developers insist on puncturing the metaphoric blood-brain barrier between apps and the OS. Feeding your sensitive Signal messages into an undifferentiated data slurry connected to cloud servers in service of their AI-agent aspirations is a dangerous abdication of responsibility. Happily, it’s not too late. There is much that can still be done, particularly when it comes to protecting the sanctity of private data. What’s needed is a fundamental shift in how we approach the development and deployment of AI agents. First, privacy must be the default, and control must remain in the hands of application developers exercising agency on behalf of their users. Developers need the ability to designate applications as “sensitive” and mark them as off-limits to agents, at the OS level and otherwise. This cannot be a convoluted workaround buried in settings; it must be a straightforward, well-documented mechanism (similar to Global Privacy Control) that blocks an agent from accessing our data or taking actions within an app. Second, radical transparency must be the norm. Vague assurances and marketing-speak are no longer acceptable. OS vendors have an obligation to be clear and precise about their architecture and what data their AI agents are accessing, how it is being used and the measures in place to protect it.

As long as we remain in a capitalist system designed to generate and accumulate wealth, our real only option is to redefine it. We need a natural carbon capital currency linked to biodiversity and to living forms of capital grounded in carbon fixation. #BeyondGrowth #GDP #Degrowth

Tired of reading academic papers that confuse the philosophy of Degrowth with degrowth as mere decline. #Degrowth means rejecting the idea of economic growth as the ultimate goal of economic policy and as an instrument of accumulation under the logic of capital.
