Watch the video of the bigtech-Trump meeting, how Don Trump and his techbros bring success to the US and the world, creating jobs(?) and so much good. You would almost forget about the #technofeudalism regime they're putting in place.

This return to the Dark Ages with all the thoughtfulness of Atilla The Hun seems to be driven by the arrogance of those who own #AI assets.

The #SiliconValley overlords believe that they are a year or two away from disintermediating academics and scientists through the creation of an #AGI. I have my doubts on that front

The image of the "tech giants" in Trump's inauguration entered my mind from Cory Doctorow's podcast "Understood: Who Broke the Internet?" where, in the last episode, he describes these men as the "technofeudalists". I highly recommend listening to these four chapters.

Absolutely! And thanks for walking the talk so thoughtfully, this so resonates & yet it's so unusual I hardly have words to think about it, which is why your example is so valuable: "« In this age of #technofeudalism every writer who covers technology - especially resistance to #BigTech - should disclose their tech stack. Here's mine »"

Ah... Leading by example!
Also... I finally understand the concept of 'tech stack'! Thanks again! 🙏

Is one big flaw in how we generally think about #SocialWeb and #Fediverse development in how we embrace this vibrant feeling and energy that existed at the time the early web was emerging? At that time time the expectation was that the #Web would liberate us.

A decade later we have #BigTech, the Corporate Web and #SurveillanceCapitalism, while #Technofeudalism and #Dystopia are knocking on the door.

Nowadays when we excitedly publish our innovations as we did then, is that still responsible?

Yes, I think an interesting follow-up #poll might be to ask people's expectation on whether they think a fediverse that reaches billions is capable of holding corporate capture and #BigTech at bay, and not become just a better instrument than existed before to the further spread and enforcement of #technofeudalism ideology.

And I then usually follow to be that one annoying guy that taps the sign and dims the giddy atmosphere .. 😅

The plan for his #DOGE was mapped out in a series of closely held meetings in Palm Beach, FL, & through early #intelligence-gathering efforts in Washington.

Without ceding control of his companies, the richest man in the world has embedded his engineers & aides inside the government’s critical #digital #infrastructure, moving with a swiftness that has stunned #CivilServants.

How #ElonMusk Executed His Takeover of the Federal Bureaucracy 🧵

It started as banter at a fund-raising dinner for Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign in 2023. #Musk indicated to guests that he believed that #technology was the key to gutting the federal bureaucracy.
