it's a strange time to promote a book, but 'Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism' is out today. thanks to @RepeaterBooks for publishing it, and to @NaomiAKlein, @doctorow, @HelenHester and @n_srnck for their kind words

never stop to appreciate a flower. and NEVER say hi to your mailman. every time you do you lose you 5-10 seconds. add those up over a year and you've wasted 4 minutes that you could have spent dropshipping bootleg indonesian juul pods to sixth graders.

order your groceries. saves an extra 1-2 hours a week. compounded, thats 50-100 hours a year. a whole week work of work you gain. i promise that time is more important then the $10 delivery fee

One of the few certainties in social science is high social trust is essential to healthy societies which can only be achieved through greater equality. We not only rejected greater equality (ofc) but built our economy around a machine whose primary value proposition is deception

For months, a startup named Artisan has covered San Francisco with billboards saying “Stop Hiring Humans” and “The Era of AI Employees Is Here.” But does their product actually live up to the hype? For Bay Area Current, Wendy Liu @dellsystem investigates. https://t.co/G0mPQuXaht

San Franciscans hated them, and they were right. These billboards suck — and our rage is their gain.

San Francisco billboards are my favorite perennial story but three years ago I started getting texts from out of town friends landing at SFO, asking: “Mike, what the hell does this even mean” so we did a quiz! how fluent are you in tech advertising? https://t.co/Nq568S3CrM

Take this quiz to test how fluent you are in the lingo of today’s tech industry.

Ever wonder what the hell SF's weird tech billboards are saying? Wendy Liu—@dellsystem—tells us that while the billboards aim to sell to other businesses, they have a hidden social meaning: This city is not for you: SF belongs to tech ruling class. https://t.co/ktcX0Sm7Vf

People are burning Waymos because they are vile representations of governance that has valued profit over the public good: they represent labor replacement, the decimation of public transport, & wild sci-fi fantasies being privileged over common sense.
