So I finished @gilduran's #theNerdReich a week or so back, took a few days to digest/come down.
Here's my review "I knew the VCs and Tech oligarchs were vicious, greedy and bonkers, but this reveals them as them as genocidal, accelerationist, batshit crazy religious loons - that must be stopped!"
Great, revealing and frightening read.Up next Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor's End Times Fascism.
Inspired to double down on my @unsupervisable #neoluddite leanings and create/join more projects.

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.

I finally got the book on Sept 22!
I knew it would trigger my anger so I limited myself to 30-50 pages/day. I finished it yesterday.
I wish everyone would read this book!
It names all the fascists plotting our downfall, shows how they are interconnected, what they are planning and how arrogant and superstitious they are.
I disagree with imprisonment as a solution though, as imprisonment can be overturned. A guillotine solution cannot.
