Ah, Silicon Valley, where every problem looks like a nail and #AI is their trusty hammer. 🤖🔨 Apparently, the solution to world hunger and your broken dishwasher awaits in a line of code and a TED Talk. 🌐🧠

Steve Blank's presentation on "Hacking for Defense" is like watching a PowerPoint kaleidoscope of buzzwords, where the real enemy is staying awake. 💤👏 Apparently, the secret to defense innovation in 2026 is to bombard us with enough acronyms and self-congratulation to make a TED talk look modest. 🎉🔬

The tyranny of TED? TED is elitist, perpetuating the old hierarchical model of learning that a minority of people know and a majority don't.

THE GREAT UNRAVELING OF TED TALKS
Are TED Talks less impactful now? Many think so because there are more TEDx events and speakers aren't paid, leading to lower quality ideas.

TED uploads about 277 talks per year. Some people feel the quality of ideas has gone down compared to older TED Talks.

You want to understand who liberals are and why they’re not an alternative to fascism? Here’s them giving this son of a bitch a standing ovation after inviting him to present at one of their most sacred events.
(Yes, that’s Palmer Luckey getting a standing ovation after his TED talk.)

🎉 Behold, the world-changing #innovation we never asked for: a Chrome extension that adds a touch of #chaos to your video watching by speeding up or slowing down based on the speaker’s verbal diarrhea! 🤯 Because who doesn’t love their TED talks to sound like auctioneers on caffeine, or their #ASMR videos to drag on like a snail on tranquilizers? 🙄

🚀 Stop the presses! We've finally cracked the code on making TED Talks even longer with Helios, the #AI that generates endless video content in "real real-time" (because just one "real" wasn't enough). 🎥😂 Just what the world needed: infinite loops of #deepfakes discussing browser extensions and dark modes. 🌌🤦♂️

🚀 Watch a company transform from quaint millions to staggering billions, all thanks to a tech stack so convoluted it requires a PhD in buzzwords. 🎓 Listen to TJ Miller's TED Talk wannabe at #PHPtek, where he reveals the secret sauce: a cocktail of databases and acronyms nobody asked for. 🍹✨

I thought I’d give a shoutout to @kiwix, an offline reader for educational websites like #Wikipedia, #ProjectGutenberg, and #TEDTalks. #Kiwix is useful for people and places with no Internet connection or if said websites are blocked.
(No affiliation, I just genuinely thought it was a great idea and wanted to share it.)

Why fascism is so tempting
This TED talk warranted multiple pull quotes…
The greatest danger that now faces liberal democracy is that the revolution in information technology will make dictatorships more efficient than democracies.
In the 20th century, democracy and capitalism defeated fascism and communism because democracy was better at processing data and making decisions. Given 20th-century technology, it was simply inefficient to try and concentrate too much data and too much power in one place.
~ Yuval Noah Harari
A dictator may not be able to provide me with good health care, but he will be able to make me love him and to make me hate the opposition. Democracy will find it difficult to survive such a development because, in the end, democracy is not based on human rationality; it’s based on human feelings… And is somebody can manipulate your emotions effectively, democracy will become an emotional puppet show.
~ Yuval Noah Harari
I particularly enjoy the TED talk format. The generally shorter nature of each presentation ensures that the speaker has spent at least some time distilling their message. This particular talk is about Fascism– but it’s also about “Big Data” and how even those of us with the best intentions, are paving the way to Fascism. Not, “might be” paving, but “are paving.” Give it a listen.
