Silicon Valley's Sci-Fi Problem

Image
I've been covering the tech industry for years, and one thing still strikes me as odd - Silicon Valley's fascination with science fiction. It's not just that they're inspired by it, but they often seem to misread it, taking the wrong lessons from the genre. I think this misreading has real consequences, undermining democracy in subtle but significant ways. Take the recent layoffs at Google, Meta, and Microsoft, for instance. On the surface, they seem like a straightforward response to economic pressures, but I believe they're also a symptom of a deeper issue - the tech industry's tendency to prioritize fantasy over reality. When you're more focused on creating a futuristic utopia than on addressing the concerns of your users, you're bound to run into trouble. And that's exactly what's happening, with issues like privacy and robotics being handled in ways that are more reminiscent of a dystopian novel than a thoughtful, democratic process....

Dark Hours Project

I just launched a project called Dark Hours, a website utility that gives you an idea of what you can see in the sky on any given night. It was a small passion project, something I'd been tinkering with in my spare time. But then, yesterday, I got a comment on Bluesky from someone who showed me a project with the exact same name - and it was identical. I'm not just talking about similar functionality, I mean identical. Same name, same concept, same everything. It was like looking at my own project, but somehow not. At first, I thought it was just a weird coincidence. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how unlikely it was. What are the chances that two people, working independently, would come up with the same idea, the same name, and the same execution? It's not like "Dark Hours" is a common phrase, or that the concept of a stargazing utility is particularly original. But still, I'd never seen anything like it before. And then it hit ...
