Se nel 2021 furono i dipendenti di aziende della Silicon Valley a voler evitare di diventare megafono dell'assalto al Campidoglio, creando anche un sindacato, la successiva crisi del settore è stata sfruttata per ripristinare il controllo manageriale.

Paradossalmente, sembra essere stato proprio l'attivismo dei lavoratori delle big tech a spingere i dirigenti della Silicon Valley verso l'attuale amministrazione.

#Anthropic lied again! Their "#AI is going to kill us all" whistleblower was a coordinated psyop with PR firm behind it.

I love locally run LLMs and find them quite useful (none of them comes from #OpenAI or Anthropic). So tired of these fuckers lying and dumb #media repeating every word they say.

Why do the big AI companies continue to bleed money as they race to improve technology that hasn't yet lived up to the current hype? Why does it seem like they don't care how much damage they do in the process? Why are they constantly wingeing on about "existential threat" when they demonstrate no real intention to slow down?

Because it's not about "AI". It's not about technology. It's not even, ultimately, about money. It's about the difference between terminal extinction and final extinction, the technoligarchy's fierce commitment to avoid the latter, and their keen desire to bring about the former. And the public discourse, especially by the press, is missing the plot.

Longtime national security reporter Sharon Weinberger’s new book, Valley of Death: How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War, follows the rise of the military-industrial complex in Silicon Valley, where defense technology companies, like Palantir, Anduril and SpaceX, and their billionaire founders, are increasingly shaping U.S. foreign policy.

Silicon Valley overlord buys a chunk of Sweden's forest 🌲🌲, presumably to build a fortress of solitude where he can ponder world domination. Meanwhile, the trees are busy negotiating their stock options and planning a hostile takeover of neighboring countries. 🙄 ##NatureVsTech
