On my latest conversation, I speak with @Submetallic about #cryonics, #biostasis, #AI, brain preservation, and the strangeness of reality and our possible futures. breadandrobots.substack.com/…

"End Times Fascism" is outstanding. At times, it left me enraged at the appalling duplicity and selfishness of the end times fascists who have recently attained far too much power and influence. But it also left me with hope for how these horrific forces can be overcome

Fresh from the Technoprogressive Opportunity conference in London, J. Hughes and Matteo McDermant ask what a summer of rogue AI should do to left futurism. substack.com/@citizencyborg/…

I agree, and it must be made clear in development and governance that AI be a tool rather than a deus ex machina. The present trajectory under technocapitalism is untenable. We can build a better (technoprogressive) way that actually makes us more human.

I’m convinced that very shortly in reaction to AI—if this is not already beginning—there will be a society-wide explosion of humanism, both in the sense of a revival of the recognition of the radical importance of humanity, and in the Renaissance sense of Studia Humanitatis—the study of humanity (through philosophy, history and literature), the most worthy (and complex) entity in the cosmos.

The Mamdani administration’s “Click to Cancel” rule goes into effect in New York City today. Among other restrictions, companies must provide a straightforward cancellation process to customers or face penalties, including fines and refund liability.

Proud to stand with @SBWorkersUnited and join the boycott against Starbucks. Starbucks workers deserve a fair contract — but instead of coming to the bargaining table in good faith, Starbucks has racked up more labor law violations than any company history.

We must stop #technofascism! #Technoprohressivism is the only viable path to a free and just hi-tech future.

Palantir is plotting a coup against our democracies. We are organizing our representatives to stop them — before it is too late.

So true 💯✨ We need @AOC, @RoKhanna, @BernieSanders, and others to make this clear. It's good when it's done democratically for the benefit of all and bad when fascists and edge lord billionaires do it for profit at our expense.

Building data centers is good when it's done by the socialist republic and bad when the US does it for more computing power for deepfaking elementary school teachers

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new enamel-repairing gel that starts restoring teeth in just 2 WEEKS. This could replace fillings and change dental treatment worldwide, with use expected around late 2026–2027. Here is how it works and when you can get it.🧵
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claimed breakthrough is based on lab experiments with extracted human teeth showing thin mineral growth over 2 weeks in vitro. No human trial results exist; a small pilot by the spin-off began in July 2026 with none published. nature.com/articles/s4146… clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07730… medicaldaily.com/enamel-regrowt… nottingham.ac.uk/news/new-gel-r…

This is just the sort of thing we should expect to emerge out of a technocapitalist society that optimizes for profit, not care.

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

The public is very anti-AI. One big disaster - a Hindenberg moment - could lead to widespread restrictions on AI. thedispatch.com/article/arti…

Is This AI’s Hindenburg Moment?

A high-profile disaster can make what seemed inevitable appear crazy.
