Pro tip.
Every time you hear a techbro saying "more efficient" immediately substitute "less effective" in its place. See how it makes much more sense.
You're welcome.

@risperdoll #SpaceAge #Futurism meets #TechBro #Pods...
Der Podcast erklärt vieles von dem, was wir gerade erleben. Ich bin auch erschüttert, wie naiv ich bisher war. Speziell die Folge 6 enthüllt unmissverständlich: Hinter den TechBros steckt ein faschistoides Weltbild, eine Pseudo-Religion. Man will totalitäre Strukturen etablieren und ist bereit, die Menschheit für ein paar TechBros zu opfern. Widerstand ist keine Option, sondern eine Pflicht.

i will go to bat for y’all any day. ANY. DAY.
but your messaging to normies needs to be more pointed, more specific and more aggressive in how you describe the human rights #crimes the #techbro #broligarchy is getting away with due to people’s ignorance on how the microcomputers we use as phones are exploited and abused for #surveillance
love your work, @eff
that’s why i believe y’all can do better.
love,

@MightyOCD Every single author who publishes their stuff on #substack are, from now on, bereft of excuses for still being at the nazi bar, and it's on them.
We Don’t Need More Liberal Techno-Utopianism
There’s a lot of #fluffy around these days. Take books like Abundance – dressed up as bold new visions, but really just more of the same old liberal centrism with a shiny, tech-friendly finish. It flirts with Marx at the end, but only to dress up in borrowed credibility. At heart, it’s not socialist, it’s a manifesto to reassure the #mainstreaming chattering class that everything will be OK if we innovate harder and manage smarter. This is blinded feel-good “supply-side liberalism” […]

Aussie #Techbro #SpaceKaren explodes and splatters it's techwank over #Bowen #Queensland
when people argue that #X and #bluesky are better because "tHe EnGaGeMeNt" -
so "tHe EnGaGeMeNt" is more important to you than not being on an either #nazi or #billionaire #techbro platform - what kind of person are you?
i say no thanks, stay where you are.
finished watching Superman
That was surprisingly fun! And no wonder the right are mad about it: for starters, a broligarch and Netanyahu are the villains XD
#Substack bragging about their new $100 million investment from the #TechBro VC’s and how that will enable them to democratize publishing and do more online community building. Uh-huh. They took big $$ from previous investor Andreessen, who based on his own utterances appears to be a racist fascist. I’m personally not confident, as a previous contributor to the site, that being beholden to right-wing investors is a good thing - on any level. It sure didn’t work out with #SocialMedia did it? Now, more of the same in the online #DigitalPublishing space. Looks like #enshittification to me.
AI tools are already helping marginalized communities daily - translations, image descriptions, text simplification.
You can/should hate Big Tech while recognizing real impacts - anything else isn't meaningful discourse.

is it just me or has every #techbro and #vc idiot either NOT read #1984 by #GeorgeOrwell and are thinking the light at the End of The #AI Tunnel is something other than a reflection or an oncoming train and are abusing it to realize their #technofascist wet dream?
Most of them remember that one, @bram, but they fail to consider that “the default” is often itself garbage.
Too many implementors, whether #techbro or not, will unthinkingly decide “I don't want to make a political decision so I'll go with the default from my culture”. My nerd friends, *that is a political decision*.
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 […]
