I remember when being in tech was cool (in say 2009). Now it’s just some shitty job to funnel money to these gross creeps.

      It’s a modernization of fascism.

      It’s still fascism.

      But it’s also so much worse.

      Instead of papers please, it’s drones and facial recognition (palantir/thiel). It’s killbots and robotic cryptids (optimus/mech dogs). It’s ai, algorithms that know you better than you know yourself, disinfo and thought police (Facebook, amazon). It’s tracking and controlling what you can buy and where (crypto [crypto is NOT anonymous]). It’s a return to slavery and/or elimination of human labor in favor of humanoid machines.

      It’s absolute control and obedience (all of the above).
