@ParadeGrotesque If that wannabe clown god-king thinks he is the sh*t, despite showing exactly the opposite—especially when one looks at how Iran is being handled—I would say it is fair to say that this individual can hit the road, jackass (he not you). #flockoff
Europeans should maybe slowly wake the f*** up and get over this vassal mentality. It does them no good to lick the boots of technofeudalistic autocrats.”*** aka. #nerdreich

[…] Predation moved from the periphery to the centre. It used to be an abuse of the network. Now it is the network's organising principle.

A new book by longtime Bay Area journalist Gil Durán investigates "tech fascism" and its mounting influence on U.S. politics. The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy follows the rise of Vice President JD Vance, the former venture capitalist whose "outsider" campaign for Senate was bankrolled by the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Peter Thiel. Durán traces the ideological lineage of the current Trump administration back from Vance to Thiel and the far-right-wing monarchist Curtis Yarvin, whose "right-libertarian" political theory has long made the rounds among Silicon Valley elite. "These guys were never libertarians," says Durán. "Now that they are the government, we see their true face: They're fascists, and they're authoritarians."

[…] So, now we have to pay to get anything done? This is peak enshitification of our job: first they steal our work to train their models, and then they sell it back to us at a profit.

Tech companies are actively attacking the profession by promoting automation that demands subservience to proprietary systems.

In the beginning, we had #Glassholes 👉🏻 https://www.404media.co/meta-ray-ban-smart-glasses-pov-instagram-pickup-artists/ and it was bad! 🤮
Then we got #PervPods https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/17/camera-equipped-airpods-macos-26-7/ and it was truly awful! 🤮
How do we call now then the Glassholes and the PervPods when it's one AND the same nasty wanker?!?!
Any suggestions, please?

Just listened to @gilduran.com interviewed by @markhurst on @WFMU on his new book, "The Nerd Reich", out these days.
It was excellent, a vivid description of the new #fascist ideology being brewed for the past 2 decades in the minds of various #SiliconValley billionaires, starting with #PeterThiel.
A strange mix of bad #scifi and cynical US version of elite secession temptation in the face of looming #climate catastrophe.

Here’s Gil Durán, the author of “The Nerd Reich” on Democracy Today with Amy Goodman. He’s chatting about how #techbros turned #fascist and gave up on #democracy. He highlights the book that started it all and the role of key players like Peter Thiel in the process. https://youtube.com/watch?v=sg7YNUbaV-8&is=-9bMCTF_EniAwTZg #NerdReich #Fascism #Nazis #tech #technology #SiliconValley #USPol #USPolitics

[…] I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks. I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust. I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over. The causes of this go back decades and AI is just the latest iteration of it. I don’t think that a glitzy marketing campaign with a positive spin (which some have advocated that Anthropic do) is the way to win back that trust — at this point, saying that AI will cure cancer is more a cliche than it is inspiring, and most people think it is deceptive. The thing that will work is actually curing cancer. I think by far the most accurate criticism of AI companies including Anthropic is that we haven’t yet delivered on our big promises to benefit the world. That is totally on us, and I think it’s the criticism you should be making, instead of all this stuff about messaging and marketing.

This is not the only reason why “people” hate #LLMs and he knows it. Environmental, ethical, political … many other reasons. But I do hope the media will pick up on the “cure cancer” comment and fucking stop with the tedious ai click baiting.

[...] "Seeing around the bend means paying attention to what adoption is already showing us and helping countries act before today's choices become harder to change. The signals are already visible. The question is not only who has access, who builds, or how fast AI moves. It is whether people and countries have the agency to shape what comes next."

Will tech billionaires get rid of democracy by getting rid of people?
Interesting conversation between Gil Duran (of the forthcoming book "The Nerd Reich") and Quinn Slobodian (author of a.o. "Muskism" and "Crack-up Capitalism").

Ara estava llegint aquesta nota i veig "Nerd Reich" i l'ha clavat! No sé si sortirà en català el llibre però en anglès serà meu! #NerdReich https://mastodont.cat/@josepvives/117056755521101123 -
In a review of the book ‘The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy’ by Gil Durán I read about Peter Thiel as a central figure.
I am wondering about Apple. The company did opportunistically try to please the DOFTUS.
But is the top of the organisation also ideologically linked in any way to the men of the Peter Thiel group? Or do they ‘Think Different’?
Would be nice if Apple is the odd one. There are still a lot of other objections remaining - about the manufacturing practices, tax evasion, market dominance - but those could be disconnected.

Yes.
Yes they are.
Not being subtle about it either, they're rubbing our faces in it.
