Most of them remember that one, @bram, but they fail to consider that “the default” is often itself garbage.

Too many implementors, whether #techbro or not, will unthinkingly decide “I don't want to make a political decision so I'll go with the default from my culture”. My nerd friends, *that is a political decision*.

From the moment the #SiliconValley #TechBro #BusinessIdiot class learned there was interest in the #GenerativAI carnival trick, they wasted no time in directing all their power to extracting every tangible output of human labour they could contrive to feed into its maw

and, surprising no one, they did it without a thought for #consent or attribution or compensation, not even notification that they're doing it. When called on the outrage, they arrogantly insist they've got the right to do whatever they like without asking anyone.

If anyone doubts these sociopaths need to be told “no” with legally-enforced finality, that should be sufficient.

Almost 600 people have signed an open letter to...Sequoia Capital after one of its partners, Shaun Maguire, posted [blatantly racist crap] against the Muslim Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City.

Maguire, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, posted on X over the weekend that Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary last month, “comes from a culture that lies about everything” and is out to advance “his Islamist agenda.”

Good news! You can instead use our Windoze™️ ystem which, granted, will throw ads at you every 15 seconds, oh and send all your details to a gazillion advertisers, and also won't run on any older hardware, but at least you don't need to know anything useful.
😂

You know what, seriously, I'm done with the tech community rn.

Tech community be like:

"Oh you want to drive a pretty car? Well first you need to go to engineering school to learn how to design engines, we provide the vehicular frame but you have to build your own engine. Oh but painting your car is easy, you just have to know how to create paint from scratch. No we don't just use standard vehicle paint, we created a special type and only it stick to our car. Oh and don't forget that you have to design seats too, that's an entirely different tutorial, written by Sumerian monks! It's 80 percent out of date but you'll be fine.

Ugh. Sorry. But its not only AI killing the Internet, its this nonsense.

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

Tech Bros weren't drafted into the fascist coup, they volunteered.

Delete windows, get a non google, non apple phone, drop twitter, delete Facebook, install linux, use blockers.

You may have ignored tech bro spying and control before, but now your life and family and country is at stake.

I had this very conversation with an honest-to-god #Techbro a while back, telling an anecdote about a guy in line at a store who, when asked "How are you today?" responded with an "I'm doing great!" and I was like...really?

We don't need another mindfulness retreat, folks. We need to take action.
