Seattle ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes auf Sägemehl gebaut. Die Abfälle der Sägewerke der frühen Siedler wurden auf die Straßen verteilt. Heute erinnert die Underground Tour an die Anfänge der Stadt.

City Leaders Say Trump Administration Has Sent Influx of Federal Agents to Portland
portlandmercury.com/news/2025/…
Updated: 8:34 am September 27 City and state elected officials say the Trump administration has deployed additional federal agents to Portlands ICE facility. The news came at an emergency press conference on Friday evening, where Portland Mayor Keith Wilson announced that the "rumors about deployment" of national law enforcement "became a reality" today, after a week of escalating rhetoric out of the White House. Wilson said the city has confirmed sightings of armored federal law...

I really enjoyed @pluralistic ''s essay on the AI bubble. Partly because I largely agree with Doctorow's analysis, but more importantly because it is about what we do after the inevitable crash.
I'm curious about one paragraph (which would be worth unpacking, but which I don't have the capacity to do so in full):
"The only thing (I said) that we can do about this is to puncture the AI bubble as soon as possible, to halt this before it progresses any further and to head off the accumulation of social and economic debt. To do that, we have to take aim at the material basis for the AI bubble (creating a growth story by claiming that defective AI can do your job)."
There is a lot here, but I'm unsure where do we look? Are we talking about the cultural narratives of AI? The material base--in chips and data centers, power consumption and underpaid labor? The furious hype cycles that prop up failing businesses (Tesla)?

Going to the end of the essay, @pluralistic writes:
"Plan for a future where you can buy GPUs for ten cents on the dollar, where there's a buyer's market for hiring skilled applied statisticians, and where there's a ton of extremely promising open source models that have barely been optimized and have vast potential for improvement."
I think this points to what will crash out, and what technologies and skillsets are currently being most overvalued.
I do like the idea that this might offer a moment of reflection and realignment. It has been increasingly obvious that big tech is propping up so much of the west's white supremacist ideologies, both in their rhetoric and their technologies. Those ideas are totalitarian at their base, so a crash might be the best opportunity we have to dismantle their monopolies. (Not in terms of regulation but by bankrupting them entirely.)
[T]he AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector, e.g. "pivot to video," crypto, blockchain, NFTs, AI, and now "super-intelligence." Further: the topline growth that AI companies are selling comes from replacing most workers with AI, and re-tasking the surviving workers as AI babysitters ("humans in the loop"), which won't work. Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.

The mayors and governors of all western states need to stand together and speak with one voice.
This is only happening because people are letting it happen. Governors are letting it happen. Mayors are letting it happen.
