"A wealthy bitcoin investor wants to set up his own court system within a libertarian community on a Caribbean island as part of the tech-backed “network state” movement.
Olivier Janssens’ company, South Nevis Ltd, is buying up land on Nevis for his proposed “Destiny” development — the first scheme of its kind on the island, which has been enabled by a new Nevisian law.
Destiny, which the island’s government has called a multibillion-dollar project, is due to involve a massive reshaping of the south coast of the island, including villas and medical clinics.
Speaking via video link to a panel of islanders in late November, Janssens criticised Nevis’s court system for lacking “efficiency . . . And if we’re just going to copy that, it’s not attractive to people to come.”
Instead, he said Destiny could “propose that for certain matters we have our own efficient court systems”, but would ultimately “still abide by” the national legal system.
The scheme, a series of lush green terraces and pools, has been designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the architects behind 7 World Trade Center in New York and the Broadgate Tower in London. Janssens declined to comment on its cost or the price of homes within the development.
Destiny is part of a trend in which wealthy figures in technology and crypto try to establish their own, more libertarian, territories, known as the “network state” movement.
A few have collectively received hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital from funds backed by the likes of investors Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, OpenAI founder Sam Altman and Brian Armstrong, Coinbase chief executive. Many remain theoretical at this point."

"[t]he Delaware-based company that founded this experimental town in 2017 has raised $120 million in investments — including from venture-capital funds backed by the Silicon Valley billionaires Peter Thiel, Sam Altman and Marc Andreessen — to transform the territory, about twice the size of Monaco, into the most developed start-up city in the world. Built in a semiautonomous jurisdiction known as a ZEDE (a Spanish acronym for Zone for Employment and Economic Development), Próspera is a private, for-profit city, with its own government that courts foreign investors through low taxes and light regulation. Businesses can choose a regulatory framework from a menu of 36 countries or customize their own.
A California company offers a Montessori education for approximately 60 students. Security is provided by a private firm of armed guards. An arbitration center staffed by three retired Arizona judges handles dispute resolution. (In order to enter the jurisdiction, I was told I needed to sign an “agreement of coexistence” binding myself to 4,202 pages of rules, violations of which would be subject to the jurisdictional authority of the arbitration center.)"

"For proponents, the initiatives offer the opportunity to address all that they believe has caused a decline in American dynamism, from monetary policy to taxation. San Francisco, in particular, has for years been affected by high levels of homelessness and crime, prompting an exodus of tech workers during Covid.
“It’s young people being dissatisfied with stagnation, corruption and isolation,” says Amjad Masad, chief executive of AI coding company Replit, who has observed the rise of the network state movement. Last year, he moved Replit to Foster City — a master-planned city built in the 1960s on marshlands near Silicon Valley — to escape what he described as the “suffering on the streets” of San Francisco. “Young people are clearly yearning to discover new ways of living and building through technology,” he adds.
But the movement’s toughest critics — of whom there is no short supply — cast it as either a bid to play god or an attempt to avoid red tape, more opportunistic than idealistic. Others argue it is part of a broader rise in techno-fascism, or a form of authoritarian rule by technocrats. Either way, they assert, the movement is born from an elite victim complex.
Thiel, who has a net worth of $27bn and is one of the biggest funders of the space, gave a series of Manichaean lectures in recent weeks about the “Antichrist”. In between arguing that AI sceptics and Greta Thunberg were Satan, he complained that wealth gives the “illusion of power and autonomy but you have this sense it could be taken away at any moment”.
“Can you imagine being that rich and that miserable?” says Olivier Jutel, a lecturer at the University of Otago in New Zealand and an expert in cyberlibertarianism. “They think they are the grand solutionists that can fix all the problems, but it’s so insular. But just because it’s stupid doesn’t mean it won’t inherit the Earth.”"

Finally read #Cyberlibertarianism by David Golumbia and tbh I'm a little underwhelmed.
Seems like he thinks there's no legitimate criticism of the state and current democratic systems from a leftist point of view? Mass surveillance is fine since it's signed off by governments and if you think there's something wrong with that you must be rightwing and cyberlibertarian?
Also: I'd be interested to read or hear about critical reception or debates of the book. Know any?

"Digital technology may be harnessed by forces on the political right, but there is nothing inherently right-wing about digital technologies, right? Right?!?!?
Wrong.
At least, that is the response given by David Golumbia in his vital and provocative book Cyberlibertairnism: The Right-Wing Politics of Digital Technology. It is a book in which Golumbia argues that the core politics coded into digital technologies are overwhelmingly right-wing, and in which he further argues that—knowingly or not—by defending and idealizing digital technologies many left-leaning groups and individuals have wound up disseminating and entrenching the very right-wing politics they oppose. In Golumbia’s estimation, and argumentation, the issue is not only that the way we talk about digital technologies tends to advance right-wing politics, but that these technologies themselves continually advance right-wing politics, with this advancement often occurring under a veneer of appeals to freedom and liberation.
In contrast to the numerous works by left-wing, and left-leaning, academics and activists arguing that the liberatory potential of digital technologies has been warped by right-wing billionaires and by business interests, Golumbia’s Cyberlitertarianism argues that the problem is not only with the billionaires or the business interests but with the technology itself. At the core of Cyberlibertianism is the argument that not only is digital technology not neutral, but that by this point we are fooling ourselves by refusing to admit what its politics actually are."

So if you are wondering what the Open Source Initiative is keeping itself busy with:
Ensuring that AI regulation cannot add "acceptable use policies". So we cannot ban AI use for harmful purposes by license because OSI wants their licenses to be pure.

That absolute #decentralisation leads to #democracy is an absolute lie
It does not because of a very simple reason: When you create spaces with no laws and no reach for a central authority, there is no way to enact the will of the majority on it
Secondly, it leads to absolute centralisation: Lawless spaces are governed by violence of the strongest. Inevitably an evil absolute force will control them, then seek to expand them to expand their rule further
#cyberlibertarianism has scammed u all
-
@johnzajac There is still a contradiction there. But you’re not seeing it because the discussion has been framed by #cyberlibertarianism.
Limitations to technological freedom are seen as inherently bad in that discourse.
Yet, democracy is about the rule of the majority. And if those rulings have no way of being enforced on those that object to them, how is that democratic?
So we have folks now touting the same poison that created unchecked social media giants as the cure to them.

Got to love the way US liberals stumble on things that are now obvious, and treat them as amazing new discoveries. The wailing and gnashing of teeth about "cyberlibertarianism";
https://techwontsave.us/episode/261_the_problem_with_cyberlibertarianism_w_chris_gilliard
... mostly seems to consist of stuff that people in the software freedom movements, and others, have been talking about since the last century.

#Cyberlibertarianism serves as a clarion call to reevaluate the fraught politics of the internet. In the hope of providing a way of working toward a more genuinely democratic and egalitarian future for digital technology, this magisterial work insists that we must first understand the veiled dogmas from which it has been constructed.

#Cyberlibertarianism: The Right-Wing Politics of Digital Technology by David Golumbia, 2024
An urgent reckoning with digital technology’s fundamentally right-wing legal and economic underpinnings In a timely challenge to the potent political role of digital technology, Cyberlibertarianism argues that right-wing ideology was built into both the technical and social construction of the digital world from the start.

Freaking out about #DeepSeek is stupid.
This kind of model would have appeared in 6 months, the Chinese just got there first.People feel scared. This is because they feel powerless to stop what DeepSeek enables malign actors to do.
But why do they feel powerless? They do so because they have swallowed the ideology of #CyberLibertarianism whole: Technology is the salvation of humanity, and no limits should be placed on those who develop it.
So here: Silicon gods, entirely made of narrative 👎

A nice documentary of #cyberlibertarianism. Or how neoliberalism & hippies merged in Menlo Park, California, and created the ideology of #SiliconValley.
In other words: How Silicon Valley can be far-right & anti-democratic in their actions, and talk to us in progressive language about it.
