@being_on_line @bratton @NoemaMag 9/ The commitment quietly converts description into license. If what is emerging is simply what must emerge, resistance reads as childish. So much for the dizzying array of AI-enabled disaster pathways—even nuclear entanglement—advancing under the cover of 'inevitability'.

@RBReich Maybe Benjamin saw it first. Authoritarian 'storms' aren't accidental as much as the inevitable culmination of a total machine fusing in a unitive repressive stack. Who needs jackboots when you have APIs, enthroned as techno-modern progress, coding resistance out of possibility?
