For our upcoming #elections ( #Scotland) please be very aware of the potential #fakes, #frauds, #charlatans, #lies ( #misinformation/ #disinformation) especially from the rightwing supporting #techbro 'services'. The full might of #unionist and #Reform will be using #LLMs (so called #AI) to generate this. Fact check everything!

"Palantir is here to disrupt and make these various institutions we partner with the very best in the world, and when it's necessary, to scare our enemies, and on occasion, kill them"
Our reality has become a bad #JamesBond movie plot
And why do these #techbros always look like they're on drugs?
#Techbro just gleefully talking murder. And it's presented cheerful and mundane. What a #dystopia we live in

As I read about people being harassed for using their cell phone cameras to document the cruelty of ICE raids or comments from assholes like Kristi Noem that doing so is somehow a criminal act, I’m reminded of something someone said when U.S. troops began liberating Nazi concentration camps in early 1945.
“Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower

yet another example of why there is not one #GOP #Republican #MAGA #techbro #NatC who would want to quote, even less be like, the closest to an #antifa republican POTUS, Dwight Eisenhower.
here’s the thing though: Eisenhower was as much a corporatist, petromafia bootlicker as every other republican. the only difference between him and Reagan & Bush? he actually saw the concentration camps and that fucked him up.
but Eisenhower agreed to support the 1953 #Iran coup BEFORE becoming POTUS.

The American hard right is not a movement – It’s a mess
Meany people lazily see “the Right” in America as a unified political movement, but this is simplistic, comforting fiction. People still see as "normal" what we used to have, an orthodox worship of a #deathcult. But this is tired path is now being overwhelmed by a hard right (populist) rejection, and to add to this mess, this reaction is it itself is captured by meany personal grabs for power and statues, yes it truly is a mess.We need to look at this, it matters, because treating the […]

"why don't #techbro execs understand that their consumers don't want #AI in everythin-"
they do. they just don't care, because the broke-ass bottom 90% #consumers have no impact on the #company's stock price. we are all officially too poor to be considered part of the real #economy, and this is how you know.

@johncarlosbaez @cstross It’s a wild ride. I highly recommend a book called The Founders about the origins of PayPal. There’s a silly SciFi book series I enjoy Backyard Starship one of the villains is a transhumanist who meets his grisly end as an insane brain inside a grotesque spider like cyborg. I also find the #Techbro obsession with Trans people odd, when they are quite comfortable with transhumanism & as for how they reconcile transhumanism with Christianity 🤷♂️
