Saw Duncan Jones’ new film ROGUE TROOPER last night @ London Film Festival. Find I’m mostly describing it as “beautiful” to ppl. It’s v particular combo of motion capture & computer animation (no AI!) builds the richest, most gorgeous movie “world” I’ve seen in years. I loved it so much.

When the AI Bubble Bursts, Big Tech Will Be Scarier Than Ever
The AI bust will be a crucial moment in the history of capitalism. Big tech is organised enough to benefit from the concentration of power that will follow – we need to get organised enough to resist.

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command. The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.
