The famous “What have the Romans ever done for us?” sketch in Monty Python’s “The Life of Brian” is in hopelessly out of date. So here’s a revised, contemporary version. ———- What have the tech bros ever done for us? The AI. What? The AI. Oh, yeah, yeah. They did give us that. And the crypto. Oh, yeah, the crypto. Remember, Reg, what filthy cash used to be like? Yeah, I'll grant you, the AI and the crypto are two things the tech bros have done. And the mass surveillance. Well, obviously the mass surveillance. I mean, the mass surveillance goes without saying, doesn't it? But apart from the AI, the crypto and mass surveillance . . . Robot armies, NFTs, social media. Social media. Yeah, all right. Fair enough. And the misinformation. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the tech bros left. Fascism. It’s no longer safe to walk in the streets at night. All right, but apart from the AI, the crypto, mass surveillance, robot armies, NFTs, social media, misinformation, and fascism, what have the tech bros ever done for us?

    @jd@ottawa.place Oh! Polluting the sky and now outer space! Exploiting workers en masse! Facilitating the violent humiliation of women and children! Psychologically destroying men? They've actually been quite busy.
