Nikola Tesla imagined a world powered without transmission lines, reported strange luminous phenomena around his electrical machines, and mysterious signals from another planet. James and Kenneth Corum asked what an engineer would build to make them happen? www.altsci.net/nikola-tesla...
I promise you this is worth the read.
The cloud has a landlord. I followed the evidence on data centers, detention contractors, surveillance, and public costs. The paperwork gives us plenty to question. #DataCenters #PublicAccountability #Privacy #TechnologyEthics

They told us the planet was burning, and they were right. Then they sold us the fire extinguisher and made it run on coal.” A piece on the two industries eating the world while we were buying Teslas. #AI #Climate #SurveillanceCapitalism #DetentionEconomy #PoliticalEconomy #TechEthics
