So Long to Tech’s Dream Job
As the tech companies became hulking entities with work forces larger than many towns — and costs to match — scrutiny increased, too. Meta, Google, Apple and others were driven to make changes as workers and the public questioned their power.

Repeat after me: The Linux Foundation are a bunch of Big Tech bellends. Don’t listen to a single thing they say.

Tech Bro Topia: Sommer 2025: Die USA vollziehen den Schwenk zum Autoritarismus. Mittendrin die Tech-Bros aus dem Silicon Valley. Sie wollen den Staat abschaffen und den Weltraum kolonisieren. Aber wie kommen sie auf solche Ideen?

Silicon Valley has shifted into its artificial intelligence age — some call it the "hard tech” era — and the signs are everywhere. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/11/tech/silicon-valley-hard-tech-era/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #siliconvalley #tech #socialmedia #defense #apple #netflix #google #internet #apps #markzuckerberg #facebook #ai #chatgpt

> The attack on Lip Bu Tan comes as #Trump’s policy toward China and its tech sector shifts constantly. It’s easier to smear a man than examine his record. Tan, 65, is a longtime American citizen admired in Silicon Valley for his soft-spoken, authoritative dignity. I’ve known him for nearly 40 years and believe he’s the best person to lead Intel.
While #OpenAI has released GPT-5, our research into the ‘imaginative landscape of AI’ in #SiliconValley / the San Francisco Bay Area is progressing.
By ‘imaginative landscape of AI,’ we mean the entirety of visions, positions, and conflicts seen in relation to #AI. This is not just about the technological side but about broader ideas for the #future of communications and society with AI, as well as possible dangers for humans. It is fragmented, diverse, and highly contradictory.
It's a war of attrition and the beast of Colonialism might be slowly dying after all...

Or this scourge?
Can't help but notice that as the USA gets more misogynistic and predatory so does it's social media. And Western governments are seemingly blind to it all.
But do tell us how making Wikipedia a 'tier one' website and demanding the ID of every editor is going to help?
"My motivation for creating Unplatform is simple. Once upon a time, I, too, was a digital defeatist that believed that the internet was beyond saving, and that Silicon Valley had achieved total control over the digital world. It's been a deeply humbling and extremely inspiring experience to be proven wrong - and not only do I no longer believe that the internet is a lost cause, I believe there's never been a better time to take it back.
But it won't be easy. Silicon Valley is holding our communities, careers, and conciousnesses hostage. They lured us onto their platforms over the course of 20 years with the promise of access and convenience, and now that they've gone completely mask off, they're betting on the idea that we've got too much invested in them to walk away. Unplatform is here to help you prove them wrong."

Yonhap News Agency: S. Korea again postpones decision on Google’s map data transfer request amid U.S. pressure . ” The South Korean government on Friday delayed its decision on Google’s request to export high-precision map data overseas, the transport ministry said, amid pressure from Washington to resolve the issue, calling it a non-tariff barrier.”
Why Silicon Valley leans to the right should be no surprise to anyone.
A part of it comprises of people who believe they are so superior, they won’t even let their kids mingle with ”commoners”. These people are already raving about the superiority of AI in homeschooling and emotionally supporting their kids.
They were already eugenists. It’s really always the same.
