I’m aware of his career and related, history.

However it was Doctorow himself that mentioned his Burning Man attendance on a live tech podcast I was listening / watching 5 or so years ago.

Here’s an excerpt from audience questions after a he gave on the AI Bubble (or Apocalypse as he puts it often), published on his blog Pluralist. Written by Doctorow

“OK,” the young man said, “but what can we do about the crash?” He was clearly very worried.

“I don’t think there’s anything we can do about that. I think it’s already locked in. I mean, maybe if we had a different government, they’d fund a jobs guarantee to pull us out of it, but I don’t think Trump’ll do that, so –”

“But what can we do?”

We went through a few rounds of this, with this poor kid just repeating the same question in different tones of voice, like an acting coach demonstrating the five stages of grieving using nothing but inflection. It was an uncomfortable moment, and there was some decidedly nervous chuckling around the room as we pondered the coming AI (economic) apocalypse, and the fate of this kid graduating with mid-six-figure debts into an economy of ashes and rubble.

It was the tooth fairy

Study shows it’s actually the massive corporate conglomerates that do exponentially more damage to the Earth than the entire animal kingdom combined, humans included.

Reduce your carbon footprint is a Big Oil created PR campaign. It places the “climate crisis” blame on the individual consumer.

Here’s an exerpt from one of his public talks about the AI bubble. From his Pluralist blog.

Corey Doctorow is an industry plant, anyone who goes to Burning Man and writes books like he does, has some major skin in the Techno Feudalism game.

Are we sure these reports aren’t just PR stunts / bullshit?

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted in a profoundly sick society
