speaking of abusers who should not be left alone with their own children…

a reminder that the guy who said he never met Jeffrey Epstein shares the same white supremacist breeding god-complex : pays broodmares to birth his master race.

Epstein had a breeding ranch in Nuevo México. that’s why Bill Richardson was part of his social net. the place got busted & trafficked women were freed after his imprisonment.

#MAGA #techbros are a sick bunch.

@minimalparts This is central to our present day political issues. AI is the fastest rising factor of #technofascism. Refusing to look at AI if you are not a specialist is like asking us to simply renounce democracy, because none of us is a specialist of everything. We need to worry about it, all of us. It's not really a language? Well, too bad. But it's still working quite well for the digital #neoliberalism launched by the #siliconvalley #techbros who are now dominating the 1st world economy.

@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:

  1. #TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)

  2. #GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)

  3. The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)

  4. #TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)

  5. That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)

  6. Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)

  7. That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)

  8. That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.

  9. That the #US became hostile over night.

@tazgetroete
Armselig und wenig optimistisch. Wir lernen: Bei Ketchup sind wir Beschützerinnen der Republik, der #Demokratie und des Anstands, aber unser ichwillunterhaltenwerden-Dünkel übersteigt unser Bildungsinteresse und unseren Willen zur Freiheit Errungenschaften wie die Mediatheken können wir kleinreden, um uns weiter die Suchtserien der #Techbros reinziehen zu können und darüber auch noch stolz zu schreiben. So gewinnen die Faschos.
Ist nur eine weitere Facette von #ichichichmirmirmir.

"One can only imagine the horror the late Iain Banks would have felt on learning his legendary Culture series is a favourite of Elon Musk. The Scottish author was an outspoken socialist who could never understand why rightwing fans liked novels that were so obviously an attack on their worldview"

Excellent from Sam Freedman.

TECHBROTOPIA AMBUSH!

Tomorrow, Suisun City holds a vote on whether to just up and annex 15k acres for that Cursed project.

You know how we were all happy that California Forever simmered down and went quiet for a while? Even they said they were only changing their approach (oh, and the name, again), not slowing down. We'll, after just a few weeks notice (that I didn't hear of till just now, ugh), here comes their next swing:

USA #monopoly #laws are completely outdated thanks to the Republican and Democratic parties #collusion in NOT regulating all the #techbros industries that were taking the place of the #surveillance state they didn’t want to fund directly with the federal budget. which explains the existence of InQTel.

the FTC going after Facebook/Meta and the Iguanazi without acknowledging he only exists thanks the above, IS the problem.

Will Sci-Fi doom the world? I don't think so. Unregulated, corrupt, fascist techbros certainly will, however. That they co-opt the very media which condemns them is par for the course in far right circles. They create nothing and both co-opt and corrupt everything.
