I’m aware of his career and related, history.

However it was Doctorow himself that mentioned his Burning Man attendance on a live tech podcast I was listening / watching 5 or so years ago.

Here’s an excerpt from audience questions after a he gave on the AI Bubble (or Apocalypse as he puts it often), published on his blog Pluralist. Written by Doctorow

“OK,” the young man said, “but what can we do about the crash?” He was clearly very worried.

“I don’t think there’s anything we can do about that. I think it’s already locked in. I mean, maybe if we had a different government, they’d fund a jobs guarantee to pull us out of it, but I don’t think Trump’ll do that, so –”

“But what can we do?”

We went through a few rounds of this, with this poor kid just repeating the same question in different tones of voice, like an acting coach demonstrating the five stages of grieving using nothing but inflection. It was an uncomfortable moment, and there was some decidedly nervous chuckling around the room as we pondered the coming AI (economic) apocalypse, and the fate of this kid graduating with mid-six-figure debts into an economy of ashes and rubble.

It was the tooth fairy

Study shows it’s actually the massive corporate conglomerates that do exponentially more damage to the Earth than the entire animal kingdom combined, humans included.

Reduce your carbon footprint is a Big Oil created PR campaign. It places the “climate crisis” blame on the individual consumer.

The two party system is entirely corrupt. Two sides of the same coin; two faced.

Nothing is more inherently political than our shared physical environment, and nothing is more ill served by allegiance to a single political party.

They’ve got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side, but no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen.

Here’s an exerpt from one of his public talks about the AI bubble. From his Pluralist blog.

The Author’s Note section of State of Fear, Michael Crichton made numerous predictions that some of which have come true thus far.

It was published in 2004

One of which is that any climate change related legislation implemented by one party, will eventually overturned / reversed when the other party takes power.

Nothing is more inherently political than our shared physical environment, and nothing is more ill served by allegiance to a single political party. Precisely because the environment is shared it cannot be managed by one faction according to its own economic or aesthetic preferences. Sooner or later, the opposing faction will take power, and previous policies will be reversed. Stable management of the environment requires recognition that all preferences have their place: snowmobilers and fly fishermen, dirt bikers and hikers, devel-opers and preservationists. These preferences are at odds, and their incompatibility cannot be avoided. But resolving incompatible goals is a true function of politics

He also predicted that in around 2100, people will be far richer, use lots of energy than ever before, and the global population will be much smaller.

Corey Doctorow is an industry plant, anyone who goes to Burning Man and writes books like he does, has some major skin in the Techno Feudalism game.

Edit:I can only offer what is revealed to me. It’s too much for me to handle. Our reality is planned out. AI is here to enslave us. It’s not just some financial scheme. Doctorow is part of what they call a “hoodwink”. I personally never use AI product, never have, but I see what’s coming. I believe the solution is to stop using smart phones completely.

This is a bit unrelated but this is the cover or DJ Shadow’s Action Adventure. It has a track called “Reflecting Pool”. It was released in 2003. If this isn’t sufficient proof I don’t know what to tell ya.

I hateth SWAT

My greatest halo moment was going 40+ and 0 kills entirely on a warthog turret.

Are we sure these reports aren’t just PR stunts / bullshit?

Can’t afford Xbox live. Is that all I need to play halo mp? I have an Xbox one.

God I miss halo 3.

Of all the people they chose to go after for not doing something they choose this guy who probably has a decent amount of money to retaliate.

Well that makes it even creepier then. Am I the only almost old fogey that remembers that word and the word that always followed it around the 80s and 90s?

Thanks for the response.

This reminds me of another issue I ran into. I grabbed the F.E.A.R. pack when it was on sale, but only two games are playable. The OG, and the late latest release.

I tried every fix the community provided, but nothing worked for the me.

This is the only time I’ve had this problem, however I’ve played a minute amount of games compared to the avid steam user. I’d imagine plenty of people run into similar issues in other older games.

I get the feeling many modern smoke detectors (In the US anyhow) monitor more than smoke and carbon monoxide. The ones I’ve seen in apartments are built like tanks and are around 5x the size of a hockey puck. They have an LED light constantly flashing green with a red every ten or so. I’m betting they could easily install cameras types and nobody would think twice.

In my last apartment, I got up close to it one night and saw the product branding. It was “KIDEEZ”. What the actual fuck?

Headlines these days are annoying as hell! Constantly using words like SLAMMED, DESTROYED, HUMILIATED, SHOCKED etc. Always passive aggressive AF.

It reminds me of the I opening scene in Space Oddesey 2001. Humans create tools that make life easier, tools then become weapons to go to war against humanity itself.

If any doubt the deliberate targeting of Palestinian children, all one has to do is view the satellite photos of Gaza before and after the “war” started.

In addition, I’ve seen multiple videos of Palestinian Emergency vehicles arriving at the site of an Israeli strike being hit by another strike. Double tap cruelty strike.

There’s defiantly something inhuman going on with these particular… humans?

Mematic Warfare at it’s finest.
