« La Silicon Valley est née de la répression de l’État social et progressiste de Roosevelt »

Dans son nouvel ouvrage « La Contre-Révolution californienne », l’historienne Sylvie Laurent s’intéresse à l’alliance techno-réactionnaire entre la Silicon Valley et Donald Trump. Elle remonte à ses racines, en Californie dans les années 1960, avec Ronald Reagan.Capture d'écran 



Lorsque Bill Clinton, jeune et séduisant démocrate, prend dès 1994 une ligne très centriste, voire reaganienne à bien des égards, et s’attaque aux régulations et à l’aide sociale, il offre plus que jamais la tech comme horizon d’émancipation. Avec son colistier Al Gore, ils sont appelés les « démocrates Atari », et participent d’un techno-évangélisme triomphant, à l’image du capitalisme de l’après-guerre froide : le sens de l’histoire est à l’hégémonie américaine, à l’innovation, à « l’économie de la connaissance et de l’information ».

Clinton privatise l’Internet en 1995, change la loi sur les télécommunications en 1996 pour faire du Net un espace de libre-échange sans contrôle public, et cède aux revendications des cyberlibertariens. Il dérégule également la finance, ce qui accentue encore la consanguinité entre Wall Street et la Silicon Valley, comme l’incarne un Jeff Bezos, passé de l’un à l’autre. À partir de cette époque, lorsque les patrons de la tech s’engagent politiquement, c’est généralement en faveur des démocrates, ce qui est logique.Poster : 

extrait des paroles de la chanson des Dead Kennedys "California Über Alles" 

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes, here's a pretty flower

@purrperl @why_not @jcb to me #Oracle being allowed to buy #Sun was one of the worst things that ever happened to #Software and #Technology.

Not to mention Oracle is led by an old #TechBro (#LarryEllison) who literally calls for people to 'Embrace Cyberfacism!'

Whenever you fly somewhere, this organization called "Airlines Reporting Corporation" tells US police, ICE, and the pentagon, among (many) others, from where to where you fly and when. No matter whether you booked your flight through booking.com, Expedia or whatever.

But yeah, assholes are continuing their propaganda that data privacy were an "innovation killer". And that regulation equals communism. That the EU is both evil and stupid because it doesn't allow Apple Intelligence in Europe. And besides, millions died under Maoism! #techbro

I would like to thank @rebeccawatson for pinpointing straight away the central issue when it comes to these #recognition technologies. Too often, we are first concerned with the impact it might have on our lives, but we completely forget about the hundreds of millions of #clickworkers, exploited through a #digital #gigeconomy and what these system reflect of the deeper #techbro ideologies such as #technofascism and #mass-surveillance of all those who are not the #CEO‘s.

The Palantir, the famous magical orb of the Lord of the Rings, built by dark lords in order to be able to see everything everywhere at once. It has also been used by Peter Thiel to name his company specializing in mass-surveillance and identification.

L'avantage avec les techbro libertariens fascistes c'est qu'ils parlent sans filtre.
C'est intéressant de savoir ce que pense l'adversaire.

L'inconvénient c'est qu'ils parlent sans filtre et leur prooojeeet est vraiment flippant.

Le capitalisme à l'etat chimiquement pur.

never ceases to amaze me how willfully ignorant is the

theguardian.com/commentisfree/

let me just say this:

1. finance ≠ economics and neither are synonyms for Economy
2. Smith & Marx wrote about POLITICAL economy
3. economies don’t need capitalists nor “tech”
4. employment ≠ labor
5. economies exist without employment but not labor
6. money is a metaphor for labor
7. devalue labor and you remove the reason to use money
8. economies exist without money
9. people are economies

Best damn definition of a #SiliconValley #TechBro I’ve ever encountered…

“Basically by default if you're a Silicon Valley techbro it's 1 part Mein Kampf, 1 Part Ayn Rand, 1 Part Turner Diaries, 2 Parts An Incel's Understanding of Handmaid's Tale; stir in as much Curtis Yarvin as you can stomach and stir.

“Throw in a few re-runs of 'The Forbin Project' or 'Season 3 of Westworld' and you get a sparkling cocktail of horrible that's over-funded with a massive ego-driven empathic defect or two and/or a decades long fetish for harming animals or small children and pretty much that's how I now imagine Silicon Valley bros'.” —u/markth_wi

Hvis du som jeg har svært ved at få hoved og hale i galskaben

- destruktionen af 🇵🇸 / GaƵa
- oprustning spiral i 🇪🇺 og overhovedet ingen diplomati

Kan jeg som #fredagsbog anbefale at læse/genlæse Naomi Klein 'The Shock Doctrine' - the rise of disaster capitalism

.. ikke perfekt - den er fra 2007 - men sætter ord på meget af 'det uforklarlige' omkrin os - lige nu

Giver også lidt af baggrunden for bla. at #techbro haster fremad med #AI for at udvikle og videreudvikle autonomt militær-udstyr

Ah yes, another tech bro with a ✨ God complex ✨ through Brooklyn under the delusion he's the next urban cartographer. Because nothing screams "I'm a visionary" like strapping on skates to capture 3D scans during the witching hour. 🚀 Just don't trip over your , dude.

Kudos to the person shouting truth to the evil Palantir CEO, who is getting richer by building systems to help Trump control the US like China controls Uyghurs.

👀 Oh, look! Yet another tech bro discovers the wonders of AI reviewing AI code. 🙄 Daksh wonders if he should play with his own toy while basking in the of a power law , because clearly, curve-fitting is the new "Eureka!" moment. 🚀

A friend keeps pumping out children's story books that he's selling on Amazon. He is even using an bot that creates somewhat believable videos of an AI influencer to promote the books on social media.

He's also used AI to automate other social media stuff to sell photographs.

It's very disheartening.

And yes he's a
