Jay Graber acting like the head mod of a shitty Fediverse server that's about to get Fediblocked by everyone for obvious bigotry.
I hear the 'phobes are using 'Waffles' as a slur against trans people now, if you needed an update.
Fuck Silicon Valley and fuck Transphobia.

"What Silicon Valley calls inevitability is really a rhetorical posture: a way of talking about the future as if it could not be otherwise. It borrows from different philosophical schools of thought (fatalism, determinism, technological determinism) — each distinct, and often incompatible."

Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel
> One of the world’s most powerful technology leaders has reportedly warned that regulating artificial intelligence risks hastening the coming of the Antichrist.
> Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire who co-founded Palantir, the data analytics group, and PayPal, the payments operator, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week.
> Thiel, a former donor to #DonaldTrump and mentor to #JDVance, the vice-president, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in #AI, risked courting the devil, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people who attended the event.
> #Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the #UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from US technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit.
> The Ministry of Defence is expected to spend up to £750 million on Palantir’s AI technology in return, which could help identify targets on the battlefield in any future war.
> The deal has prompted concerns that it could be at the expense of British companies and jobs.
> The Times has previously reported on Thiel’s devout #Christian views and their mingling with his business interests and how he is among several #SiliconValley figures who have been speaking more openly about their faith. https://archive.is/2025.09.25-151156/https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/palantir-founder-peter-thiel-antichrist-lectures-religion-qzmpth35t #artificialintelligence #PeterThiel #conservative #billionaire #PayPal

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

Is it possible to imagine a better future where we use less computation? The effects of AI hype almost demand it.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @danmcquillan so he could lay out the concept of decomputing as a different way of assessing technology.

What is Donald Trump's plan for AI? @brianmerchant read his Action Plan and executive orders and watched his speech. Here's what he learned. "Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke," Merchant writes for his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "It’s above all a blueprint for consolidated control, a vision where worker power withers, citizens become subservient to AI; to its corporate masters and federal overseers, where fossil fuels are ushered again into prominence at the height of the climate crisis, and democracy is sidelined in favor of automation technologies. It is, in summary, pretty grim!"
