A fairly dire collection of scientific snippets about the side effects from unchecked use of tech... probably only getting worse now with AI.

#Watching The Internship (2013) reminds me how tectonically the narratives around corporate tech have changed in the last decade. I doubt you couldn sell an aspirational story about interning at Goggle now.
We did that. All of us. Working *together*.
Indieweb Social states its "a home for those who build, study, promote - or are just fascinated by - #openweb, #indieweb, #federated & #humanetech practices & tech"
I'll add to that. It's also a place for 80s style nerds like @tchambers

@evan And if there is any platform that should center #HumaneTech and #Calmtech versus the more toxic and intense and addictive choices commercial siloes do to drive ad clicks, etc, it should be us. In theory, the non-commercial elements of the Fediverse should have no other incentive but a healthier online space.
This is an important distinction that @pixelfed and the #Fediverse can offer: a respite from the storm of AI junk posts, junk images, and noise. #CalmTech and #HumaneTech is built into the Fediverse DNA.

Here's my #introduction:
I live in The Netherlands. I work as a self-employed campaign and communications consultant for world-changing organisations like Fairphone, Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the Animals), ASN Bank and Consumentenbond. I have way too many interests and am childfree by choice :)
