   @jplebreton @parismarx I’ve heard Amazon is pivoting to healthcare, so the Monetize All Your Data front is still going strong. What about Surveil All The Things (Nest cams)?

     @parismarx tech is pushing on multiple fronts obviously. lately the Financialize Everything (crypto, web3) front has been falling apart of its own accord. and nobody cares much about the Pretend Space Is Habitable front (and hey NASA is doing actual cool shit at the moment that has nothing to do with Bezos et al's colonization dreams). so i think the strongest arm left they have to punch with is the Put Lousy Computer Programs In Charge of Everything (aka "AI") front.

     It really feels like we’re at a turning point with tech: Musk unmasked, Holmes going to prison, FTX imploding, Meta self-immolating, other major tech firms seeing their share prices plummet and laying off thousands of workers, cheap money drying up, and it’s not over yet.

     When does the collapse end, and where does it go from here? On one hand, we could think about how it could be better, but we should also be thinking about where capital will try to take it next.
