The “compete with China in AI” directive ruins any chance of IP protection and data sovereignty.
It’s war on terror 2.0.
It’s now a “matter of national security” that we take all your content.

i want our digital spaces to be like a neighborhood kitchenette: get fed a snack, help out with the dishes, and speak to a matronly or patronly or they-tronly figure about what troubles ail me.

How do you estimate, plan and coordinate a design initiative on a large technically complex product, with vague and potentially misaligned requirements
in a remote international team
with impatient stakeholders who have no desire to engage in interim design processes?

Tariffs won’t fix trade deficit because of USD hegemony
But maybe it painfully forces consumers into a more local-centric economy? Or breathes some new life into DIY/repair movements?
(Coping with bad situation by imagining potentially beneficial second order effects)

Agree that my/our political imagination is stunted.
Hungry for fictional & historical examples of alternative/cooperative/generative resistance
Hungry for fictional & historical examples of alternative/cooperative/generative resistance
But so often their defeat depends on superheroes with special powers/tech, Bond-style operatives, or essentially just violence. Which (I think) makes it hard for us to see (in popular imagination) how we can excise this dangerous tissue.
Are there are good examples of other models—other stories?

It’s worth exposing bloated foundations, yes.
But techno optimists fail to absorb that there is no “cheap tech fix” to international development. We can’t airdrop internet, computers, blockchain and expect development.
It requires resourcing communities, infra, institutions. That requires money

Americas test kitchen method:
- boiling water, short level (doesn’t cover 50% of egg)
- Add eggs
- 6.5 minutes COVERED (steam)
- Stop cooking with cold water

hahaha saved you a click (and 17 minutes)
transferring the eggs between two bowls, one of boiling water & one of lukewarm water, every 2 minutes for 32 minutes
no thank you, the regular method is good enough
