Polecam zredagowaną wersję prelekcji Cory'ego Doctorowa z DEF CON:

pluralistic.net/2024/08/17/hac

Z Corym Doctorowem pierwszy raz zetknąłem się dzięki jego powieści pt. "Mały brat", którą często rekomendowałem osobom zainteresowanym dystopiami. Doctorowa cenię jednak najbardziej nie za beletrystykę, a za literaturę faktu i aktywizm. Szczególnie polecam książkę, którą napisał z Rebeccą Giblin, czyli "Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back".

Amazons Illusion vom positiven Kreislauf. Dem sogenannten »Virtuous Circle« (tugendhaften Kreis). QUELLE: »Chokepoint Capitalsm« (2022) von Giblin & Doctorow. Wachstum: A) niedrige Kosten a) bessere Auswahl B) niedrige Preise b) bessere Kundenerfahrung c) mehr Güter/Datentransfer d) mehr Verkäufer
Korrekte Darstellung der wettbewerbsfeindlichen Strategie von Amazon. QUELLE: »ChokepointCapitalism« (2022) von Giblin & Doctorow. Schaffung von Engpässen: a) Verbraucher festzurren b) Anbieter festzurren c) Konkurrenz vernichten d) Arbeiter & Zulieferer ungerecht niedrige Löhne aufzwingen

Creatives: Would you like to better understand why writers & authors (+ musicians and artists) are being squeezed? The impact Amazon has had on the publishing industry, the chequered history of DRM, the dirt on copyright? How about 'how news got broken', 'why streaming doesn't pay' & what people in the creative industries can actually do about the current state of affairs? Highly recommend Choke Point Capitalism (by Rebecca Giblin & Cory Doctorow) as a read. Please ask your local library to get it in too so more people can have access.

#AmReading #ChokepointCapitalism by @pluralistic & #RebeccaGiblin.
A riveting look at how black-hole corporations like #Amazon, #Apple, #Google, #Facebook, & #Netflix dominate culture, exploit creators, crush competitors, & keep a stranglehold on audiences. These behemoths suck up money & power with a ruthlessness that makes old-style robber barons look like small-time pilferers.
Relevant wrt the #WGA #SAGAFTRA strike.

I finally got to this @changelog episode in my podcast backlog with @pluralistic talking about his and #RebeccaGiblin book "Chokepoint Capitalism". As cynical my opinions are on the current state of our capitalist system before listening to it it's now even lower. I've had the book in my "to read" list for some time because I have wanted to read it but I make even less progress with that backlog than my podcast one. A worthy listening but it will get your blood pressure up. #capitalism #VultureCapitalism #LateStageCapitalism #MonopoliesAndCartels #BillionairesShouldNotExist #BigTechShouldNotExist changelog.com/podcast/535

In this piece for #WIRED, @stokel outlines how Twitter and Melon Usk intend to charge $USD 42k per month and upwards to access #research #data via the platform's #API - putting it out of reach of most researchers and #universities

Frankly, I'm surprised at this approach to market. I thought Twitter would have approached the journal publishers instead, and got them to paywall Twitter through their existing university subscriptions.
