An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

The media has the AI threat all wrong

Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

John Ternus kicked off his tenure as Apple CEO by announcing the long-awaited folding iPhone. But behind the scenes, it looks like products and services are going to get more expensive to please shareholders and he’s ready to sacrifice privacy on the altar of AI.

In October, my new book HYPERSCALE hits shelves in North America and Europe. But my dive into the world of data centers started over two years ago when I put together a series called DATA VAMPIRES. With opposition to data centers exploding, I decided this was a good moment to bring the series back.

Google has now renamed Lake Ontario for US users. They don’t even show the real name in brackets. I used a VPN to compare: Apple hasn’t renamed it (at least not yet), nor has Dutch service Here WeGo or OpenStreetMap. Yet another reason to ditch Google, and US tech more broadly.

genAI is part of the toolkit they're deploying against tech workers. Unfortunately, a lot of tech workers are so enamored with their shiny new toy that they don't see that, or they just don't care, lacking solidarity with their fellow workers.

The tech billionaires are so clueless and out of touch they think “woke” is the reason we turned against them—showing just how stupid they really are. We dislike them because they dehumanize us, treat us workers like widgets and not human beings. They steal our wages and buy elections.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

Great denunciation of Thiel et al., but many such critiques of fascism miss the element of mass psychology that carries them to power. Tech is key here, not just for concentrating wealth, but because machinic social relations make us more susceptible to fascist solutionism.
