@eff They try it because they think they can. Because they think the defence will be weak.Imagine trying to mandate spyware on CNC machines. It would never fly. Which is why they won’t try.

Now that you have seen Peter Thiel speak of the antichrist in ways that make his business ventures holy, Alex Karp speak of western cultural supremacy tying christianity into it, Elon Musk and Trump stumbling to appeal to faith. Now expand that to cover all of written history, to all religions ever, because humanity has not really changed in 7000 years.#atheism #humanism #peterthiel #alexkarp

@stux There is no place nor tolerance in democratic discussion for movements whose aims are to end the democratic discussion.

@eff We won’t need Skynet. The Tech bros will do it all themselves.And when we fight back, they’ll call us ungrateful.

@RadicalGraffiti We desperately need some real anarchists and revolutionary energy. Today almost everyone like that has been captured by crypto related billionaire funded self-governance projects, that will only serve to build billionaire-owned city-states and parallel economies intermingled with crime. 🤔

@gamingonlinux Almost everyone is a pathetic authoritarian.Non-authoritarians are rare.The basic behaviour pattern is ”submit to oppression to receive power to oppress others”

@dangillmor I think the western governments have just switched sides completely. They work for the corporations, not the people. The same laws don’t apply to the powerful.

@dangillmor As the ancient Greeks already knew: Oligarchs make terrible leaders. They don’t care for or know how to build a state, and they will destroy one once they find themselves power. They have no loyalty for the people or morality, and have most in common with oligarchs of other states.

@RadicalGraffiti Correct! This is extremely important: AI isn't civilian technology, it's military technology with some civilian use-cases.

@dangillmor " Corporations care not for the public good, nor for the public’s very existence. Corporations are robots, algorithms—AI programs, if you like—that work for the lone goal of increasing profits. Their definition is the same as that of cancer. They grow without regard to the good of the larger body. A perfect corporation would enslave the entire world in order to enrich the last free people on earth, its own shareholders."

@stux Are we ready to elect them, even when that causes us to become enemies of very dangerous people, and/or people we care about, because propaganda works and many are easy pickings?Are we ready to keep electing them even when that means we will be spat on with the force of a million bots and a lot of humans who like to follow them?We better be ready to do that. Otherwise all is lost!

@dangillmor It’s a pretty small amount of people, that governments implementing Neoliberalism actually seem to work for.And if this is not reversed, the ancients say next in sequence from oligarchy is timocracy, which always means war.

@eff All storage of data is subject to corruption and hacking. Only way to be safe is to not gather the data to begin with.

@eff @jilliancyork @theintercept And where are the so-called ’libertarians’ I need to ask? ..I’ll tell you where: Hiding. Covering in fear behind their blockchains. Conveniently behind the backs of rich people keeping them alive!🤬

@stux Rogue my ass. Somebody put it, ran it, and prompted it to do exactly that.

@dangillmor 100%. That’s where all the doom comes in handy. They’ll say everything else but their product is unsafe and the government has to ”regulate the market”, for ”public safety”, forever locking all competitors out and pulling the ladder up with themselves.
