A hacker has compromised a #backend system for #Doublespeed , an a16z-funded #startup that uses a phone farm to flood #socialmedia with AI-generated #TikTok accounts, and attempted to have those accounts post memes calling a16z the “antichrist,” according to screenshots seen by 404 Media.

"Marc Andreessen, a philosophical zombie, can be easily replaced with #AI. I bet that’s great news for #a16z’s investors, since it means Andreessen no longer must be paid — and it frees him up to be the subject of some philosophy experiments."

Yeah, I've suspected this about the ultra-rich for some time now. Great article!

I would like to replace the front door - hopefully it's a revolving door, so the aesthetics don't change so much - of the YCombinator offices with an enormous 10-stacked-blades MixMaster.

It seems that the complete corruption of my industry might have been prevented if I'd done this years ago, and anyone trying to go in or out of that place is not going to be a loss to society anyways.

If I like the results, we can start on the others.

"The firm’s ascent in Washington has been fueled by massive influence spending, co-founder Marc Andreessen’s close ties to Trump, and a network of former firm partners working in key administration positions. It’s also benefited from savvy casting of its portfolio of insurgent startups as exemplars of the kind of free-market innovation celebrated by Republican Washington’s reigning conservative ideology.

Andreessen Horowitz’s bold, maximalist approach and deregulatory zeal have buttressed the administration’s view that most government-imposed guardrails on AI endanger US competitiveness in a fast-developing technology that has helped power the country’s recent economic growth. It has been a key driver of the Trump White House’s moves to thwart state governments’ efforts to regulate AI.

White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that Trump and his advisers are “always willing to hear out business and technology leaders” but “the only special interest guiding the Administration’s decision-making is the best interest of the American people and the only person with veto power over the Administration’s policy-making is President Trump.”

McCune said in a statement Trump is the "only person setting AI policy for this administration."

As of January, a16z had $90 billion in assets under management, making it the richest venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. The firm recently raised $15 billion, its largest haul ever, and has dedicated billions to AI upstarts including coding startup Cursor and AI leaderboard platform LM Arena. They all stand to benefit from the kind of minimal regulatory policies the firm is pressing in Washington, as would stakes a16z holds in larger companies such as OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc."

#AndreessenHorowitz’s Rising Influence Over Trump-Era #AI Policy
#SiliconValley’s richest #venturecapital firm emerges as a “lobbying juggernaut” for minimal AI regulation.
Sounding board is firm’s chief #lobbyist, #CollinMcCune. The firm, colloquially known by the shorthand #a16z for the 16 letters between the A and Z in its name, arguably has veto power over any AI-related proposals, according to one former #WhiteHouse official.

It’s real hard not being dubious of a (supposedly) privacy focused telecom company whose CEO came from #Palantir and has #a16z as an investor. Lots a lot of incentives in the wrong place.

As far as I can tell there are no 3rd party audits of their claims.

Hack Reveals the #a16z-Backed Phone Farm Flooding #TikTok With #AI Influencers - https://www.404media.co/hack-reveals-the-a16z-backed-phone-farm-flooding-tiktok-with-ai-influencers/ "A hacker gained control of a 1,100 mobile phone farm powering covert, AI-generated ads on TikTok."

One of the more famous digital investors, Marc #Andreessen, half of the #a16z name, is not only on the board of #Meta, but also investor in #Doublespeed.

And Doublespeed's goal is to create #AI ads and spam them to social networks. Of course, neither declared as AI nor as paid advertisement. To promote products you might not buy otherwise.

The future is coming. You will not like it. Unless you are Andreessen or some of his friends.

after murdering a bunch of couriers on some (alleged) drug boats trump now intends to pardon former president of #Honduras Juan Orlando #Hernandez who, in between trafficking at least 400 tonnes of cocaine into the US because he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos”, was the guy who set up the network state city of #Prospera with Peter #Thiel etc. as a “special economic zone”.

> "The zone recently made #Bitcoin legal tender and passed legislation facilitating the issuance of Bitcoin bonds. Próspera’s investors include Silicon Valley heavyweights such as Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen through #Pronomos Capital."

99% chance it’s the Network State/Nerd Reich guys (thiel, andreessen, etc.) up in trump’s ear telling him a cocaine kingpin with whom they founded a fake country deserves a pardon at the same time as they encourage him to murder the poors who actually do the trafficking with the new weapons systems they’re selling him.
