  6. @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.

  12. @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.

  13. RE: kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/1172

    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.

  14. #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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

    Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

  19. Death is essential to evolution, hence a blessing. I make the claim that the only real cultural evolution of humankind happens with the growing up of new generation.

    Now imagine a Stalin that doesn’t die, thrusting humankind into an eternal Soviet Union, where the elite is immortal and never changes.

    Immortality would bring stagnation, and perhaps the death of the human race with it.

  20. The polycrisis we're living through can be chalked up to the simple fact that TESCREALists have never been able to understand the Human Instrumentality Project.

    Science is not neutral

    We have to watch who is #financing whom. And what

    Especially when #billionaires realise that they are #mortal & start to finance #transhumanism & other #TESCREAL projects to save themselves in an inhumane future

    There is a good #radio #essay in German

  22. @kevinrns @ChrisMayLA6 @beemoh I don't think anyone is downplaying the risks (or dark sides) of technology, especially on fedi where I found #enshittification and #TESCREAL

    I use a wide-ranging definition of technology, not just high technology: writing, clothing, monetary systems, hand washing with soap, etc.

    As Ivan #illich Marshall #McLuhan and others have noted: we shape our tools, and our tools shape us.

    We need to be aware of who's doing what, why, and--most importantly--who's benefitting. For example, the litany of misuses of technology by @pluralistic pluralistic.net/2025/07/30/eff

  25. ‘Before It’s Too Late, Buddy’

    This is what happens when you spend two years unmasking a well-funded Silicon Valley “apocalypse cult.”

    by @xriskology

    "This scenario is eerily similar to what Yudkowsky is advocating: military actions that could cause a genocidal nuclear catastrophe, if necessary to keep the techno-utopian dream alive."
