Big tech today is like if IBM had live footage of what has happening in the concentration camps, and they kept sending machines anyway.
I'm so fucking tired of these companies and their stenographers in the media.
Journalists who, even when writing criticisms, can't disabuse themselves of the notion that technology means progress and innovation is liberation. Not even when the counter-examples are staring them in the face.
Genocide, ecocide and a fascist devaluation of culture run rampant.
As with trump , lifetime Pulitzer for the journalist willing to follow up these statements with ‘what the fuck are you talking about?”
@blabberlicious jesus, not surprised to see Neal Stephenson in there, if ever anyone wrote a fanwank book for techbros, it was Cryptonomicon.
Liberate the world with encryption!
It also features a character explaining why boy brains being better for doing stuff than girl brains is almost a downside really.
First and last book of his I ever attempted. What a cock.
@blabberlicious at least they're _supposed_ to be psychopaths.
Professional artists should know better.
There seems to be a good few sci-fi authors who are awed by tech billionaires and will turn up to anything they ask them to. It's as if they skipped day 1 of "what is sci-fi for" class.
