The AI bubble is propping up the American bond market too (countering all of the other crap Trump had been doing to undermine the economy). When the bubble pops, the bond market is going to suffer massively as well.
Yeah… That shit with ICANN and Autistici kinda raises some red flags now though…
I’m a climate scientist, I’ve been a web dev, and I’ve worked with complexity in climate, risk, and management spaces. So, compared to those I guess. I’ve worked with some software devs who are well aware of complexity concepts, but I’ve never really seen any of them take a complexity-first approach.
I fully acknowledge that I have a particular perspective, but I struggle to believe that most software devs in generic workplaces are better at complexity thinking than the ones I’ve worked with, given the content we were working with.

The bit we should regret is that we let the rich corporates steal it.
In my experience most software developers have very little understanding of complexity, and mostly ignore it or try to design around it, nor with it. Which is mostly just a function of them needing to work to get by, not to contribute something meaningful to society.
We probably should have
Corporations are made of people, and people more broadly let them gain power. That doesn’t seem like a defence, it’s just a description of our failure.
Isn’t fact they are having a hard time offloading that debt an indication that other investors are shying away from it because they see the data centre risk?
