Bernie swallowed the critihype hard, it’s painful to see

PR is the point

Even if you’re paying for the product, you’re still the product

Sp you think because a motivation is not rational it can’t be true?

Pragmatism is cashing in on the Mamdani moment and not squandering the intense hatred of the establishment that voters feel by failing to run the best known populist champion of the working class in the country who isn’t 80 years old

It’s actually a violation of eBay’s terms of service to use Amazon for dropshipping. You should be able to get a refund if a seller does that.

The “we” is fearmongers like Jonathan Haidt and the UK, Australian, and other governments pretending that age-gating the internet is a solution to anything

Are you interested in the evidence and a professional’s assessment of it, or do you just want to use an ad hominem attack to reinforce your preexisting belief?

Stop spreading criti-hype! Zuck didn’t invent a mind-control ray with targeted advertising, and Sam Altman doesn’t run a terminator factory with GenAI.

For someone with your apparent sympathies, I’m surprised you’re slurring the Luddites like that when they seem like ancestors and, in their modern incarnations, allies

The centaur/reverse centaur metaphor instead is aimed at addressing OP’s misguided suggestion that we need to throttle tech as such, by instead inviting us to reflect which tech empowers people to do what they want and what tech enslaves people to do what someone else wants.

There is no Nobel prize in economics; the award you’re referring to was created long after Nobel’s death and has been “awarded” to many reactionaries including Milton Friedman. If someone criticized the idea that the social responsibility of corporations is to maximize profit and someone else responded by pointing to Friedman’s fake award, it would have about as much merit.
