wealth extraction

We all know wealth disparity is a growing problem with all sorts of harmful consequences. But…

The real wealth extraction is just beginning with the advent of AI and crypto currency. More than wealth, tech bros are stealing all knowledge and creativity from us, storing it in massive data centers and accelerating climate change (instead of solving the problem). They can then choose to whom and how they will dole it out. Oliver Twist: Please, oligarch sir, may I have some more knowledge?

The truly astounding thing is we’re helping it along by willingly using all those “free” AI tools and trading real money for crypto. If there’s a legitimate place for AI and crypto then it’s only in a world of regulations to protect what is rightfully ours and the very foundations of civil society. This will affect everyone, regardless of political association. It’s time for the electorate and our representatives to stop scrolling and wake up!
