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 abolishsiliconvalley.com

I disagree with Timothee Chalamet about opera (crowd cheers), because all art is essentially bad (crowd boos), in the Culture Industry sense! (crowd cheers) except for one medium, which encompasses all previous forms (crowd nodding expectantly), “gaming” (booing intensifies)

HOT TAKE: nobody in 1975 needed a budget app, a financial coach, and a side hustle to afford a two bedroom apartment. this isn’t a personal finance problem. it’s a wage theft problem.

This may hurt in the short term, but these are small sacrifices to make in order to make the labor market, entertainment, and countless other things far worse for the benefit of about 800 of the most misanthropic and insecure people to ever live

Nvidia and AMD to significantly increase GPU prices starting next month; RTX 5090 increasing from $2000 to $5000 — Newsis
Community note
Reports suggest GPU prices might rise in early 2026 due to memory shortages, and some speculate high-end cards could fetch ~$5,000, but neither Nvidia nor AMD has officially confirmed price hikes or exact figures.
Post is speculation.

I don’t know a single person who believes the future is going to be better than the past, and the reason is the spread of this kind of psychocapitalist technofascist ideology. the project of humanity in the 21st century should be ridding the world of it by any means necessary.
