'Oligarchs are surrounded by sycophants and lack the ability to meet criticism or even engage with different perspectives. Demographically, the urge to defend these men is a reflex of mostly young white men...Social media platforms have, for decades, been grooming young white men to embrace the message core to tech bro culture: that societal progress is a product of technological advancement, that tech CEOs are the smartest people on the planet, and, more importantly, to also see themselves as future bosses rather than the much more likely scenario of remaining precarious tech workers (if employed at all)'

'it helps to think of AI as having a logic that shapes everything it stands for. The logic is that all its value is extruded and extrapolated from what is quantified. To quantify everything, even things that are not quantifiable...if you understand that counting, measuring and predicting are always situated, and therefore subjective and political, you might not be as excited about such AI-determined futures. You may, in fact, be baffled by the premise of the sales pitch'
