On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world. airesistlist.org

Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."


An example of this: Despite securing permission to mint the most valuable currency in the planet - 1,200 Manhattan apartments - the *publicly owned* mixed use WTC 5 project has recently been put on hold by the Port Authority as it doesn’t pencil out. This might seem hard to believe: there was only a 30% affordable unit requirement, and the median new build apartment goes for $1.6m in financial district - couldn’t those rich people buying at eye watering prices subsidise the 30% (who would still pay pretty high rents of ~$2k/month)? Turns out the answer is no: construction costs have risen at breakneck speed with the Port Authority citing 50% increases and US-wide construction cost indexes going up 35% from 2021. This price inflation is especially crazy in NYC, but it’s a worldwide phenomenon and governments need to get used to new housing not being a magic money machine.
