They are not gods.

Tech billionaires are over entitled nerds with
the extraordinary historical luck of being born at the exact right moment in history.

Treat them accordingly.

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. Well, after just a few weeks' notice (that I didn't hear of till just now, ugh), here comes their next swing:

Tuesday, April 15th, 6:30pm

Join in person: Suisun City Council Chambers, 701 Civic Center Boulevard, Suisun City, California

Join via zoom: zoom.us/join
Meeting ID: 816 2178 5326
Call-in Number: (707) 438-1720

The #techbroligarchy is Creepy and Weird.

Alison Taylor
Clinical Professor at NYU Stern School of Business

In countries where the rule of law is weak, your informal access is more important than your formal role. And sucking up to whoever is in power is how you advance your economic interests.

This is an amazing spectacle of groveling obeisance from the tech bros.

And it marks a new era, no question.

I used to say I'd use the last of my money to take a trip into outer space before I die.
No more. That was my privilege talking for me.
The neglect of projects to end world hunger and reverse declining food production is just one of a number of reasons the current "space race" is a mere entertaining diversion for the 1% and a dangerous misappropriation of resources for the rest of us.

Absolut hörenswert, um die Motive der TechBros besser zu verstehen.
Krasse dystopische Vorstellung, die für mich eher der Vorstellung der christlichen Hölle entspricht:

Longtermismus – der „Geist“ des digitalen Kapitalismus

Max Franz Johann Schnetker

Der Vortrag wirft einen sozialwissenschaftlichen Blick auf die Ideologie des Longtermismus. Seine Funktion im digitalen Kapitalismus wird analysiert. Mithilfe von Klassikern der Soziologie wird dargestellt, warum sich diese Ideologie in eine faschistische Richtung entwickelt. Longtermismus ist die neue Hype-Ideologie des Silicon Valley. Elon Musk und Sam Altman haben sich als Anhänger geoutet, er ist die offizielle Firmenpolitik von OpenAI. Longtermismus postuliert, dass wir uns nicht mit der Gegenwart oder der nahen Zukunft beschäftigen sollten, sondern unser politisches Hauptaugenmerk auf die Entwicklung eines Computerhimmels in ferner Zukunft richten sollten.

@gleick And I’m sure this has nothing whatsoever to do with recent visits to Mar a Lago or million dollar donations to a certain inaugural fund. #anticipatoryobedience #ObeyInAdvance #techbros4fascism #billionaires #techbros #oligarchy #techbroligarchy

can truly give thanks to the 's top chef for this cooked goose on .

the platform formerly known as

Cartoon -- (forgot were Atlantic?) shows Musk doing the chef's "perfecto"  hand sign, also doubling as the "White Power" hand sign, behind the Twitter bird as baked Thanksgiving turkey.

@interfluidity
that was a test of #institutions, eventually they’ll get the Governor of Texas.

The mobbed up #techbroligarchy learns like velociraptors.

@jwilker @pluralistic

The #techbroligarchs of #techbroligarchy are the Venn diagram of the techbro, billionaire, oligarch crowd some of whom are consciously giving neo-Ubermensch vibes (but it’s all mostly subconscious shadow behavior)
