@ehproque@neopaquita.es @Landa@graz.social @futurebird@sauropods.win @cabel@social.panic.com that was Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic@mamot.fr) in a Guardian piece from January of this year: "AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/18/tech-ai-bubble-burst-reverse-centaur

@ehproque@neopaquita.es @Landa@graz.social @futurebird@sauropods.win @cabel@social.panic.com smh at this strangely ubiquitous, yet oh so naïve assumption of human survival, even projecting a future eith societal structures intact. Much like in many dystopian movies somehow water and electricity are a given. Weird.
