How should we make sense of Silicon Valley’s constant chatter that we might be living in end times? What do they really mean when they talk of existential risk? And what are the ideologies animating all this? The answers in my conversation with @xriskology.bsky.social! m.youtube.com/watch?v=zbXU...

Worth a read. "Reform’s success should be read as a signal, not a sentence. It tells us that growth concentrated in London, credentials-dependent, invisible to millions of working people, is not working. People have now found a vehicle for saying so at scale and they should be heard."
