Description: Tech Industry Critique Without Tech-bro-ism
I write about the information technology industry.
I’ve written about other topics, such as the copaganda of Young Turks’ host Ana Kasparian and Zizek, whose work, to quote John Bellamy Foster, has become “a carnival of irrationalism.” In the main, however, the technology industry generally, and its so-called ‘AI’ sub-category, specifically, are my topics. This isn’t random; I’ve worked in this industry for decades and know its dark heart. Honest tech journalism (rather than the boosterism we mostly get) and scholarly examinations are important but, who bet
Because I focus on harm and not the fantasy of progress, this isn’t a pursuit that brings wealth or notoriety. There have been a few podcast appearances (a type of sub-micro celebrity, as fleeting as a lightning flash) and opportunities to be published in respected magazines. That’s nice, as far as it goes. It’s important however, to see clearly and be honest with yourself; it’s a sisyphean task with few rewards; motivations must be found within and from a community of like minded people.
