De nieuwe elite van Silicon Valley: steenrijk, filosofisch geschoold, vol doodenge ideeën én met een pasje voor het Witte Huis
Lange tijd hield de top van Silicon Valley zich vooral bezig met het verzinnen van slimme tech en apps. Maar tegenwoordig zien we een nieuw type techbaas: de oligarch-intellectueel. Absurd rijk, filos...
Er is een nieuw type techbaas, schrijft @evgenymorozov.bsky.social. De oligarch-intellectueel. Absurd rijk, filosofisch geschoold én in het bezit van een toegangspasje voor het Witte Huis.
Iemand die bovendien niet te beroerd is om vrijuit te orakelen over oorlog, vrede en de toekomst der mensheid.

Sfornano idee con l’efficienza di una catena di montaggio e la discrezione di un treno merci. E le loro “opinioni controverse” sono fondate su precise tradizioni filosofiche. L'articolo di Evgeny Morozov: intern.az/1MKG

Primeiro, os oligarcas tecnológicos profetizaram o futuro e nos venderam uma visão de mundo. Para eles, foi pouco. Agora, exigem que nos adaptemos aos seus sonhos. @evgenymorozov.bsky.social hoje em @elpais.com

Elon Musk und Co.: Woran die Tech-Mogule scheitern werden
Einst begnügten sich Tech-Mogule damit, die Zukunft vorherzusagen, heute verlangen sie, dass wir uns an ihre Vorhersagen halten. Und nutzen ihren Einfluss, um ihre Prophezeiungen in Politik umzuwandel...
Die "Oligarchen-Intellektuellen" behaupten, "die Teeblätter der technologischen Revolutionen in perfekter Klarheit zu lesen. Sie schreiben nichts vor; sie übersetzen lediglich das Evangelium der Unvermeidbarkeit."
Wahnsinnig starker Text von @evgenymorozov.bsky.social

Great piece: Silicon Valley's tech elites, like Balaji Srinivasan & Thiel, are reshaping governance, pushing for tech-controlled "network states" and bypassing democratic processes. It's clear they are now driving a reactionary futurist agenda, prioritizing corporate power over democratic values.

Why do firms exist? Apparently, to borrow money - and invest in crypto. This will surely end well.

Curious just how much important scientific work (including the Manhattan Project or even much of the early work on neural networks) would not have survived the need to track "weekly accomplishments" via a dedicated app.
