🗣FINALLY!

in 2016 the king of Saudi Arabia BRAGGED to the Obama administration about how they had become The Whale that moved Wall Street. it’s no coincidence Qatar, long before that quarrel, decided #quantum computing and #AI were at the heart of their 2030 economic development plans.

THERE IS NO #TECHBROS INEVITABILITY WITHOUT #OPEC #OIL MONEY

#SiliconValley are the #petromafia’s Trojan Horse against the #ParisAccords and an existential threat to Humanity.

A meme showing the Silicon Valley character of Bertram Gilfoyle sitting in front of his computer while drinking a bottle of beer. There is a dialog below the image: Gilfoyle: > What the fuck are we going to do? I know what the fuck we're going to do. But you're not going to like it. We build our own servers. Donald: > Gilfoyle, servers are essentially a utility. I mean, you wouldn't dig a well for water, or build a generator for power. Gilfoyle: > I think we should dig our own well, and build our own generator. I also think we should store a year's worth of food and ammunition in a blast cellar. But we don't. So good luck when the shit hits the fan. Look, Richard, we're about precision, about shaving yoctoseconds off latency at every layer in the stack. If we rent from a public cloud, we're using servers that are, by definition, generic and unpredictable.

A growing number of young consumers are turning to analog and single-purpose devices like cyberdecks and e-readers as a form of resistance to AI-first platforms and increasingly automated digital systems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/06/15/world/gen-z-tech-trend-anti-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ai #analogartificialintelligence #ai #cyberdeck #alphabet #google #ebay #siliconvalley #microsoft #siliconvalley #genz

“Google was a different company 9 years ago.”

Hmm… was it, though? 🤔

"Ever heard of the Enuma Elish? It’s this ancient Babylonian myth where the gods got tired of working, so they created humans to be their slave class. Sound familiar?"

"In this video, I’m exploring how Silicon Valley is basically reenacting this exact same story right now. Except this time, we want to be the gods, and AI is the new slave class."

"I dive into the difference between being made in the "Image of God" vs. the "Image of Man" (Imago Hominis), and why that distinction matters more than ever. We aren't building a god; we are building a mirror—and the reflection isn't always pretty."
