  1. I was surprised to read someone describing their #relationship with #technology in #abusive terms, seemingly unaware they were doing so. This is part of a debate in the IndieWeb blogosphere, so I had to jump in with my 2 cents worth of opinions.

    Ai is NOT going away for many reasons.

    I have huge respect for #Doctorow because he is a shit stirer and the world needs shit stirers.

    He is also a hypocrite, because he us using #Ai in his writing (and he will tell you why that's fine)

    But to the subject at hand.
    Even if #broligarchy Ai gets "switched off" for the peasants, the military and corporates will still use it.
    The Chinese and the Europeans will still use it.

    Software development is the most compelling, while you will hear many post how bad it is (mainly folks who don't use it), it doesn't write flawless code, but its used everyday and the x10 is real (my own use data point).

    Infosec, Target lists (Lavender, Palantir), Form processing (eg Insurance), Customer "service" all real, all here, all very effective.

    If you call a taxi in my town, LLM will take the booking instead of a human.

    Doctorow is desperately trying to repeat his #enshitiffication bullseye...and while he is finding eager followers among the forest folk, who struggle to adapt and/or fight the machines his head is shoved up the wrong end of the reverse centaur.

    Fundamentally, why Ai is not going away is because it removes humans from industrial process which crapitalists love to do and have excelled at since mid 1700s.

  4. 🙄 Investors, right? #finance #surveillance
    Marc Andreessen's fairy tale. Government cash built his fortune. Antitrust laws saved his company. You get none of it.

    So many #techbro want the same thing, but they all can't be the Fat Controller - thus #broligarchy wars commence

    It is a trivial skill to install an #abliterated model.
    Literally takes 2 steps.
    You don't need #huggingface spaces

    On the other hand the US techbros want to #regulateai in the worst possible way.
    Ban #openweight models and make their in-house, commercial models the only legal #Ai

    Take heed that you do not carry the water for the #broligarchy with your #csam outrage

    I used to be an internet #freespeech activist (long before the term became a dog whistle for #fascists), much of the unfree Internet and oppressive #internet legislation of today was led by the "Think of the children!" narrative.

    I don't know, maybe a good idea not to do the stupid thing AGAIN.

    I think thats just how the whole business bro crowd thinks in general. They are prematurely accepting the #broligarchy to reduce congitive dissonance, so they can focus on trying to hustle up some money

  8. this movie came out in 1957, 3 years after Godzilla.

    am sure the pitch was very #techbros #broligarchy: “we can make a bigger and better atomic movie without the need of an actor in a suit.”

    The Real Reason Big #Tech is Pushing #AI
    AI is being pushed by big tech to grow their own profits and power. And our out-of-date laws are letting them.

  12. Compound problems. #Broligarchy layered on #Gerontocracy with an old demented cult-mob-boss-king-wannabe-messiah crushing American democracy. USA’s last breaths? Before fracturing?

    A Yale professor says America is now an ‘oldigarchy’—and Boomers on LinkedIn are enraged

  14. While everyone is getting excited about #broligarchy models...
    ... lets spare a thought for the #China #Ai

    I am using Zhipu AI's GLM-4.6 #GLM model in the harness (as "bigpickle") which is as good as #Anthropic #Sonnet for coding.

    Its so good, that the router is actually feeding 27% (Top) of work units to #Bigpickle

  15. #Datacentres are a distraction by the #Broligarchy

    While the luddites are getting excited by their "Victories" dancing around the bonefires with each Datacentre they move to a poorer, less organised neighbourhood, the broligarchy is whiteanting the very fabric of labor.

    New juniors are not being employed.
    Workflows are being rechanneled into Engines. Work is being taken away from the workers.

    Forget the Datacentres, if you want to fight #Ai, unionise, form a united labor front.

    THE WORKERS, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEAFEATED.

  16. RE: mastodon.me.uk/@ChrisMayLA6/11

    "Vetternwirtschaftskapitalismus": Auf der diesjährigen #Bilderberg Konferenz, maßgeblich finanziert von #Thiel und #Karp, waren auch Frau #Reiche und Herr #Döpfner (u.a.) in illustrer Runde von US-Wirtschafts- und Politikfilz (zumindest geladen).

    Ein sehr aufschlussreiches Stück investigativen Journalismus über eine Konferenz, die keine Berichterstattung wünscht.

    #JeffreyEpstein’s “genius” was to use the rape of children (there were boys too) to organize and radicalize who he saw as the new USA #oligarchy emerging in Silicon Valley and ―up to the now significant year of 2005―, mostly went to work for Wall Street or the military-industrial complex.

    yes, there were people from other countries, but when you see his emails, it’s clear he was organizing the #techbros #gringolarchy.

    so, if #tech is the #broligarchy’s #war machine, they’re military targets.

  20. When even the FT is warning about billionaires taking over the world and fanning racism to deflect the anger of the have nots towards the remaining institutions that can check them...

  22. @glitzersachen Oh, absolutely. I was an OLD SCHOOL nerd myself. But #broligarchy does seem to be a real risk when SOME of us--e.g., the redpilled subculture I sometimes call #IncelQaida--find themselves with obscene wealth because the right idea at the right time crossed paths with the global scale of the Internet.

    Thats ANOTHER thing we need to come to terms with, if we survive this....
