Unfortunately, day 2 of Web Summit has been cancelled due to weather. I had so looked forward to this talk, but not this time. However, I have two more talks on Thursday and I hope those of you at Web Summit will attend those instead. We are also having a press conference Thursday, so we’re staying busy. And you should stay tuned.

Recursive enshitification...

'Employers who thought they were being smart by getting AI to sift job applications, meanwhile, are reaping what they sowed, as resentful applicants automate their end of things too and spray-gun applications across the board, rather than concentrating on the jobs they really want. Now neither side can separate the wheat from an avalanche of chaff.'

If you would like to increase the cost of energy, oil, gas and electricity, what would you do? It is really all a game of supply and demand.

1. Reduce production of electricity. Stop wind, solar, hydro through bans, tarifs and reduction of incentives.
2. Create bottlenecks in the distribution of energy.
3. Create uncertainty in the energy markets.
4. Reduce incentives for EVs.

IMHO we need to do the opposite. We need to invest in wind, solar, hydro and various new technologies and we need to do it quickly.

We need to continue to move towards EVs at pace. f you are not driving an EV, remember to be thankful for those that do, as that reduces your gas prices, through supply and demand.

Oil has been ruining our planet in more ways than one. The sooner we stop relying on oil, the better.

For a long time we have made our selves gradually more and more dependent on Big Tech. This applies when it comes to operating system, to browsers, to various services, to storage and now when it comes to AI.

More and more are realizing this was and is wrong.

You can take the first steps to be independent as a person or company. Obviously, given that you are here, you have already taken some steps. Here are some suggestions:

1. Switch browser... to Vivaldi. :)
2. Switch desktop OS. Personally I have switched to Linux. Currently running Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Zorin on different computers.
3. Switch mail service. Proton and Fastmail are good services, but there are others. Choose one that allows use of a mail client.
4. Switch calendar service. Most mail services also offer a calendar service.
5. Switch office package. Personally I use LibreOffice.
6. Switch Web conferencing software. Personally I use Whereby.
7. Switch search. Startpage, Ecosia, Qwant and DDG are great alternatives.

There are a lot of other great choices. The point is to start taking those steps away from Big Tech and Silicon Valley.
