I know they have problems with unions, but at what point do wildcat strikes among federal government employees start becoming an issue?

@dsquareddigest.bsky.social's excellent book: "The Unaccountability Machine" continues to pique the interest of political scientists. But I wanted to broaden a little & explain that Beer's ideas are not new to systems thinkers. And there's much, much more to add: open.substack.com/pub/clairejh...

One of the first, soft targets of fascist regimes is "degeneracy," including "degenerate art." It's often first in line. And after destroying that's been ushered into acceptability? They just start expanding the definition of degeneracy.

Ok but keep going: getting people to realize examples like this builds class consciousness: The thing you value is the art, the craft, and the labor that brings it to life. See also: chokepoint capitalism.

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

Even some of the most educated ppl have NO idea what AI is doing to energy use & the environment. My husband works in EPA permitting of factories & energy facilities, and they are getting SO many requests for permitting data centers. We're gonna AI ourselves into rapid environmental collapse.
