You know what, seriously, I'm done with the tech community rn.

Tech community be like:

"Oh you want to drive a pretty car? Well first you need to go to engineering school to learn how to design engines, we provide the vehicular frame but you have to build your own engine. Oh but painting your car is easy, you just have to know how to create paint from scratch. No we don't just use standard vehicle paint, we created a special type and only it stick to our car. Oh and don't forget that you have to design seats too, that's an entirely different tutorial, written by Sumerian monks! It's 80 percent out of date but you'll be fine.

Ugh. Sorry. But its not only AI killing the Internet, its this nonsense.

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

The new right weaponizing culture: The right goes post-liberal

Let’s have a look at an example of the new mess we’re facing: JD Vance – author, venture capitalist, convert Catholic, and now Vice President. He’s not a Reaganite libertarian, nor a traditional conservative. Instead, Vance represents something more dangerous: a dogmatic ideology, born in the boardrooms of tech billionaires and the seminaries of Catholicism, forged on in the #dotcons, and now pushing American politics into very dark territory.

This isn’t politics as usual. It’s […]

Tech Bros weren't drafted into the fascist coup, they volunteered.

Delete windows, get a non google, non apple phone, drop twitter, delete Facebook, install linux, use blockers.

You may have ignored tech bro spying and control before, but now your life and family and country is at stake.

Might be better to single out the ‘snake oil’ sales pitch we are subjected to by the #TechBro mob. They are the ones sowing fear and distrust in #LLMs capacity to ‘help out’ by pushing their shit show on every devices they can get their hands on, harvesting capital while the hype is ingested, heedless of societal impact.

Thinking of going back to an abacus…

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:

We rightfully revile Silicon Valley style techbroism as we take moral higher standpoints, stick to our values.

Yet in our total rejection of #techbro culture, do we fail to learn from it? SV outperforms #FOSS under #hypercapitalism. #BigTech is winning. We must improve our fitness formula to catch up.

Is where SV #culture differs that folks from across the globe totally dare to unleash creativity? While fedi sees ideas usually followed with techies-impl-talk?

Podcast: Die Peter Thiel Story

  • denn man sollte verstehen, mit wem es die Demokratien da zu tun haben.

https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/die-peter-thiel-story-100.html

Peter Thiel ist der Strippenzieher hinter dem kulturellen Rechtsruck in den USA und einer der wichtigsten Unterstützer von Donald Trump. Mit Paypal und Facebook ist er reich geworden. Das ist die Geschichte des geheimnisvollen Tech-Milliardärs.

"Meet Zachary Terrell, #DOGE ’s apparent authority on scientific merit... Terrell’s apparent qualifications for overruling decades of #scientific expertise? A 2022 bachelor’s degree from Kansas State & a brief career in #crypto.

...This is the expertise now trumping peer review at the #NSF. Not content knowledge, not research experience... Just the confidence that comes with being a 23-yr-old #techbro who thinks he knows better than any actual expert."

welp… do not ever tell me am hysterical or wrong.

updated this thread without having read that Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and the whole #techbro mafia got what they wanted: a citizens database THEY get to control.

defenseofliberty.social/@Malco

said 15 years ago this is where #RealID was heading.

and just 2-3 years ago said #Palantir’s #ICE work should be treated as a backdoor #malware to hacking citizenship and voting information FOR ALL AMERICANS.

OPINION >>> MAUREEN DOWD: #TechBro Had to Go

#ElonMusk came to Washington with a #ChainSaw and left with a #BlackEye

Shrinking government is hard, particularly when you do it callously and carelessly — and apparently on #Hallucinogens

As with President #DonaldTrump’s tariffs, #DOGE has created more volatility than value

A guy who went bankrupt six times doesn’t really care about spending

#Trump certainly didn’t want to see the headline, “Trump Cuts #SocialSecurity"

And in case you still don't get the snark: I just demolished his entire mythology, developed over decades with countless charts, graphs, and concomitant speculations, using two generic, measly little graphs and no data. Along with it, I also demolished any rational basis for the cult of the Singularity that rose up in his wake, and all the techbro longtermist singulitarian speculation you hear coming out of kooks like Sam Altman and Eliezer Yudkowsky.

A house of fucking cards, knocked down by a slight breeze.

#CoryDoctorow at his fiery best, telling us how we got to here and why and then topping it off with ways to undo all the shitty #TechBro malignancy to bring about a better, fairer internet (as well as a better society).

Replete with real world examples of how we’ve all been ‘captured’ by ruthless individuals and what has been done so far to address the raping of our privacy and curtailment of our choices.

If you can spare a hour to watch Cory’s address at the Python Conference on ‘enshitification’ and the solutions to it, you will come away hopeful of a better tomorrow. It might also spurr you to action when you have the opportunity to make a difference

Ob TikTok-Generation oder Facebook-Boomer: wenig prägt uns so sehr wie die #TechMonopolisten, die unseren Alltag regieren. Aber was macht deren Macht auf öffentliche Güter, Politik und Räume mit unseren Demokratien?

Auf der #rp25 mappen meine Kollegin Laura Hille und ich vom @CDCLeuphana den (politischen) Einfluss und das strategische Netzwerk des #TechBro Universe vom #siliconvalley bis ins Weiße Haus. Quartett gespielt wird auch - kommt vorbei!
