@masek Please never compare fascist and/or irresponsible actions to #neurodivergent people or, as it often happens, too, with mental illness.
This damages seriously the situation of these people in society! And is often #ableism.Name what it is: fascism, greed, corruption, power lust. A president with more and more control/thought deficits (let him forget his wars). But he is not the only one, the rest of his fascists are even worse! It's a cult, not an illness, not diversity.

@diemkay Especially about the fascist cults of the techbros' #TESCREAL, @timnitGebru has not only coined the term and written a paper (with a colleague), but she has also written a book now: Deep Unlearning. I further recommend @emilymbender with a new book The AI Con (and a podcast). Both books are also helping to resist.

AI and democracy
Apropos of staying human, rejecting nerd reich’s techno-utopian elitism is crucial: the primary danger of #AI is not machines becoming human, but humans adapting to machine-like efficiency and legibility. We know very well where this can lead.

@davidgerard you're the sort of hero social media needs, but only the #fediverse deserves.
Two more chuds for the bot ban bin. The answer was anyone who affiliates with the #tescreal movement. Not complicated.

‘They are REALLY, REALLY DUMB’ about some things: Gil Durán EXPOSES Silicon Valley oligarchs
Silicon Valley was once viewed as a center-left stronghold where tech founders partnered with Democrats to push clean energy and digital innovation. But today, the world’s most powerful tech titans in many cases are bankrolling right-wing authoritarianism, promoting anti-democratic ideologies.
-
@gilduran to @thorbenson in a interview for #DepthPerception about his new book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism & the War on Democracy":
"I believe it’s becoming one of the defining stories of American history — the effort by Silicon Valley venture capitalists to seize control of the nation & essentially roll back democracy.
...I think we’re in a phase right now where we need to make people aware of exactly what’s happening & why it’s happening. In my book, I point the finger at these evil oligarchs, but we’re complicit in that. We’re giving them all of our attention & our money.
...We have to rethink how everything has been structured around us. We deserve technology. It’s something we, I think, have a right to. But right now, it’s being controlled by a smaller & smaller group of people who have the worst ideas for the future, who see a dystopian future."

What If TESCREAL Is a Conspiracy? - by Émile P. Torres
https://www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/what-if-tescreal-is-a-conspiracy?redirect=app-store-no-desktop&inbox=trueOn June 12, 2023, the democratic-socialist transhumanist James Hughes and then-graduate student Eli Sennesh posted an essay on Medium in which they argued that the #TESCREAL thesis is little more than a leftist conspiracy theory.

In the summer of 2024, in Europe, there was this petition to #TaxTheRich that needed to get 1 million signatures. Had this number been reached, the EU politicians would *have* to discuss the topic.
We had a year to get the 1 million signatures, but even after 10 months we still had only 250,000 signatures.
No sane working-class person can be against #TaxTheRich, so I figured it's only because nobody even hears of the existence of this petitition that it never took off.
As the deadline came closer and closer, I saw the petitition shared more and more on Mastodon. But Mastodon is a tiny network. With our cozy little bubble we would never find 750,000 signatures in less than two months. What we needed was a person with a massive reach to boost the initiative. A single "influencer" with a few million followers could get us the 750,000 missing signatures within a day.
So I figured a promising winning strategy is to write to a few YouTubers with large followings. You can imagine how that went, but I thought it worth a try, and then I could at least say I didn't leave a single stone unturned.
I wrote to Ali Abdaal, since he had already mentioned (and made a few videos about) the "10% Pledge", about donating to charities for the rest of his life.
https://aliabdaal.com/giving-what-we-can/
At the time, in the summer of 2024, he also flew his entire team to Turkey for some "off-site"/"workcation". He apparently ran out of ideas for videos to create to keep the needy YouTube algorithm happy, so he just filmed himself and his crew having a holiday in a rented mansion with a swimming pool, masquerading as work and planning quarterly goals or whatever. Imagine the CO2 emissions of flying 15 people or so to an "off-site"/vacation.
Of course I never received an answer from Ali Abdaal, who was portraying himself being serious about giving away 10% of the money he makes. Of course I foresaw that beforehand but thought it worth a try. The deadline passed and #TaxTheRich didn't even come close to the necessary number of signatures.
Only later (after the deadline had passed) did I learn that "Giving What We Can" is founded by Toby Ord, William MacAskill, and Bernadette Young. It's Effective Altruism.

My explanation of "rationalism":

If you haven't heard of Roko's Basilisk yet:
-
RE: https://topspicy.social/@WhyNotZoidberg/117152115654435930
The self-proclaimed "rationalists" also believe in something they call "Roko's basilisk", which means:
What if you believe that AGI isn't a thing or even if you simply don't actively help to achieve it … but then AGI will be achieved someday? The AGI will be *mad* at everyone who didn't help to bring it into existence, go full berserk, and in its wroth kill everyone who wasn't a AGI believer. To evade this doom, you better start believing in AGI … and not just that, but also do everything in your power to bring AGI into existence.
These people are all so weird—literally cultists.

Seems nothing was learnt (or the realisation dawns so slowly that lots if damage is done first) from what grew in academia and then expanded into common delusion and The Holocaust when the elite began funding scientific investigations into eugenics.

@alineblankertz The connections between “AI” boosters, “AI” doomers, #EffectiveAltruism and other #TESCREAL ideologies are explained quite clearly in @RainerMuehlhoff’s little book “AI and the New Fascism” which will appear in November. (I read the German original edition.)

#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm
I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.
Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL
Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

#PeterThiel gets honoured by biggest tabloid
If you love tech fascism, there is one way to show it: Give one of the leaders an award
Springer, one of the biggest media companies in Germany, known for its attacks on everything that isn't conservative or right-winged & has more scandals than the royals, gives it's award to fascist tech oligarch Thiel
Free Journalism was once fought for
Join the party if he's coming!

My point.
The bad thing is, I would actually agree with the systemic descriptions and the connotations of #TechnoFeudalism. If you factor in the #TESCREAL dimension of #Elmo and the #PayPalMafia et al, you even gave the medieval "beliefs" dimension. And no-one will argue that if you receive millions of dollars of seed capital, you owe your #liege aka #VC #fealty. And, yes they collect rent, and yes, they either inherited the "rights" or acquired them, charging rent.
