If the Illuminati Were Real, Peter Thiel Wouldn't Have to Start His Own

What's a billionaire to do when faced with the reality that there's no Illuminati to join? Get Joseph Gordon-Levitt on the horn, of course.

"The researcher Google fired for warning about exactly what is now happening was right.

The company that fired her is now the second-largest deployer of the technology she warned about.

And the people inside that company who agree with her are not allowed to say so."

Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong. But... Stochastic Parrots. Timnit Gebru was fired from Google in December 2020 for refusing to retract a research paper, and every single warning...

I was recently made aware of this thesis/argument from Cory Doctorow entitled, "The Reverse Centaur Guide to Criticizing AI (before it's too late)"..:

📝 https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/pop-that-bubble/#u-washington

Many things can be and need to be said about the Reverse Centaur argument, but let me at least do the quick-and-dirty clarification that the anti-Reverse Centaur movement is not equal to the Butlerian Jihad.

How to interpret all of that is left as an exercise for you, Dear Reader.

Paul Krugman asks, are today's tech oligarchs worse than Gilded Age robber barons? He argues they are due to extreme wealth concentration, minimal philanthropy, and vast political power used for self-interest. Voters are noticing this, creating an opening for genuine populism.

Will our Hyper-Gilded Age Usher in Genuine Populism?

The tech bros are worse than the robber barons ever were — and voters are catching on

(paywall) The fact that we are asking whether US Tech can undermine a country's democracy should be worrying, even without knowing the answer.

Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines

Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After AI clickbait nonsense in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the “10 blue links” too.

Peter Thiel non è un guru innocuo: è il fondatore di Palantir, colosso dei dati e della sorveglianza, ed è una delle figure di riferimento dell’ultradestra tech legata al mondo MAGA negli USA.
Ora arriva a Roma con incontri chiusi su AI, politica e “Anticristo”.
Tradotto: più potere concentrato nelle mani di élite opache, meno trasparenza e meno controllo democratico.
Questo modello non ci interessa, anzi ci disgusta: in Europa vogliamo democrazia, regole e controllo pubblico.
