  2. Marc Andreessen, venture capitalist, married to … wait, what?

    Adrian Daub's recent book got me thinking about Silicon Valley's history. Its origins predate the age of Information Technology, and yet they still structure the Valley – as shown in a very curious marriage.

  10. qwant news | Artificial Hype, Authentic Resistance

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Students at recent commencement ceremonies are openly booing speakers who glorify artificial intelligence, signaling a growing backlash against the techno‑utopian hype promoted by Big Tech. The article argues that the current wave of AI tools—mostly large language models—are marketing constructs far from true human or artificial general intelligence, lacking emotional understanding, moral judgment, and often producing harmful outcomes. It links this over‑optimism to a modern form of digital eugenics, warning that biased algorithms can reinforce historic patterns of scientific racism and elitist control. The piece also highlights the economic bubble surrounding AI automation, noting that most companies see little return on AI investments and that costly, error‑prone systems are already disrupting education and healthcare. Ultimately, the youth’s anger is framed as a justified response to an industry that overpromises, underdelivers, and jeopardizes both jobs and the environment while ignoring the fundamental limitations of the technology.

  13. Times of India | Tech Layoffs cross 92,000 in April, making 2026 the worst year for tech employees ever: Meta, Amazon, Oracle and other companies that announced biggest job cuts 2026

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    In May 2026 the tech sector has already eliminated more than 92,000 workers across 98 companies, making April the worst single month for layoffs in at least two years. Major cuts include Meta’s 8,000‑job reduction (≈10 % of its global staff), Snap’s 1,000‑job cut (≈16 % of its workforce), Amazon’s 30,000 white‑collar role eliminations over six months, Oracle’s AI‑driven headcount trims, Block’s 40 % reduction (≈4,000 jobs), and smaller firms such as GoPro (23 % of staff) and Tailwind (three of four engineers). Companies cite soaring AI infrastructure spending—collectively $674 billion in capital expenditures this year—as the primary driver, arguing that cost savings must come from personnel to fund data‑center and chip investments. Critics, however, contend that “AI” is a convenient narrative masking a broader post‑pandemic over‑hiring correction, and warn that the wave of layoffs risks draining top talent, harming morale, and tarnishing the perception of AI as an opportunity rather than a threat.

    "Roh ist der Bro"

    Eine Kolumne zum Netscape-(Mit)gründer #MarcAndreessen und seine radikal-libertären und faschistoiden Ansichten (und da bestens vernetzter Multimilliardär ähnlich einflussreich (gefährlich) wie #PeterThiel).

    Schon fast schade, dass Microsoft nicht in den 90ern nicht früher den Browserkrieg gewonnen und diesen Typen damit potentiell unmöglich so reich gemacht hat.

    “Among the new members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (#PCAST) are #MarcAndreessen, #SergeyBrin, #MichaelDell, #LarryEllison, and #MarkZuckerberg.”

    so:

    Trump appoints billionaires who appear in the #EpsteinFiles as part of a mailing list of #FriendsOfEpstein who enjoyed unconference "MONEY & POWER" weekends at his pedophile island, or shared tips on insider-trading or how to build a master race ranch ❞

    The list of appointees was finally released…There are still 9 unfilled vacancies on the council, so it's possible more scientists will be named later. But 4 now, #PCAST is heavily tilted toward extremely wealthy tech figures.

    These include investor #MarcAndreessen , Google's #SergeyBrin , #MichaelDell of Dell, #LarryEllison of #Oracle, #JensenHuang of #NVIDIA , #LisaSu of AMD, & Mark #Zuckerberg of #Meta.

  21. At first the talk about AI "becoming" sentient and boasting that you have "no introspection" felt contradictory (and breathtakingly stupid)

    The I realised, it's much easier to get something "sentient" if sentience doesn't include the capability of introspection.
