From Counterculture to Cyberculture: The Legacy of the Whole Earth Catalog
Malta is drafting a law to give legal personality to DAOs and other decentralised systems. And yes, AIs too: https://decryptmedia.com/6981/civil-rights-for-bots
Malta is known as a premiere EU tax haven & money laundering hotspot for corruption & organised crime. It is very fitting that they are granting "legal personality" to so called "autonomous systems" (complete sci-fi BS) - to further reduce accountability & transparency.

"Dangerous exponentials - A radical take on the future - our core thesis" - by Dr.Tim Morgan:
https://www.tullettprebon.com/documents/strategyinsights/tp0510_tpsi_report_005_lr.pdf
A fascinating read. Good to see some calling the problem by its name, while many (predominantly US based) lunatic thinkers still scream "exponentials are great, singularity!"

The World’s First 3D-Printed Village Is Coming to Latin America This Summer:
https://www.dwell.com/article/3d-printed-village-yves-behar-icon-new-story-c56ded54
This US company is developing a giant 3D printer, cool. Then they sell their tech by talking about a utopian, emotional vision of "the developing world can have little houses just like the US ones" and announce their pilot project, a 3d printed village in South America (why not in the US, not enough homeless? Why little houses? Urban trends go in a really different direction). Good example of the extrem stupidity and arrogance that the US (automation) industry is displaying left and right.
The electricity and water have been cut, so that means...the Venezuelan embassy in DC is now 100% carbon neutral! #Politics #ClimateChange

Finances vs Economy, Credit vs Money - talk by Michael Hudson:
Interview with Giulio Quaggiotto @gquaggiotto. #Politics #P2P
The growing outrage about rampant economic inequalities and rise of total surveillance police states run by mega-corps more powerful than nations, is largely wasted energy if no practical actions follow: It's time for a p2p take-over of infrastructure - the kleptocrats bank.

The P2Pvalue Project Promoting the Tech Commons: https://p2pvalue.eu
Thinking of this quote every time i see yet another project using ultra-complex machine learning/robotics to "optimise" mindless mass consumerism - so people can "buy things they don't need with money they don't have to impress people they don't like".
