„An industry that once promised flying cars and toil-free prosperity is now betting on brutal dystopia: mass surveillance, economic decline, autonomous weapons, and chatbots that talk children into suicide.“

„Thiel and his cohort of powerful industry leaders are done pretending. They’re hyping death, decline, and diabolical futures from which—in their self-serving gospel—only they can save us.“

@chrisstoecker “They’re hyping death, decline, and diabolical futures from which—in their self-serving gospel—only they can save us.” May be they even don’t want to save us, but to become the only survivors (with some personal slaves).

@chrisstoecker These guys are starting to remind me more and more of men who commit extended suicide: unable to voice their problems—like losing their jobs or financial hardship—and unable to accept help, so on the eve of being evicted from their home, they drag their unsuspecting wife and children to their deaths with them.

@chrisstoecker So important to know, thank you for sharing. Just one thing - I m sure you know this. But the following sentence triggers me every time I read it, so I respond to it.
"People see(...) the government track and persecute their neighbors"
- not just the neighbors. You, too. Me, too. We have to beware of being caught in "it happens to others" .
