I followed bsky.app/profile/gild... But fuck them

"American" and "innovation" are now trigger words for me. Where's that dang emotional support puppy gotten to? 🥴 #TheAIGrift bsky.app/profile/theg...

Thank you!

oh, that's the group that the guy being quoted here works for. very normal people bsky.app/profile/samd...

@gilduran.com Snort. The note that needs an additional clarifying note.

Among the notable alumni, we find Michael Kratsios, longtime Thiel deputy currently serving at a high level in Trump's regime

Lmao I went to college with this guy

Wow, so they not only lied about the organization's presence in your book, they were condescending and kind of bitchy about it

Just gonna leave this right here www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/t...

Ha ha ha — “whoops!”

👍

About to re-read that chapter!

Yeah they should have withdrawn the review

Imagine that!

It’s a bulwark against the Left, too.

I find it hilarious that they say it's an unpaid role like that is exculpatory instead of worse. You might work somewhere you disagree with because you gotta eat, but choosing to spend your free time there means you're a true believer.

I need to write a review of The Bulwark.

Are you sure the name isn't the Foundation for American Innovation League or Lobby or Lot?

lol! Too little, too late, but I won’t knock another public humiliation of these clowns.

Shorter them: We’re not mad. Don’t put in the paper that we were mad.

Wait, is that the same guy now working for The Ohio State U's Conservative Sinecure Center despite a notable lack of academic publications? Well, I guess this counts as one, to be fair...

Good job, I don’t trust the Bulwark despite their nice guy seeming vibe

My review of The Bulwark: has some pretty funny podcasts. Otherwise, I can't fully trust any never-trumper, ever. They brought us here.

Never forget that the Never Trumpers all have horrifically bad track records for judgment and honesty.

Yep, even they didn't buy it.

@timmiller.bsky.social will address this tomorrow on his first day back

Your book has chilled me to the core. For an economic alternative to the tech bros oligarchy, try this..

They never should have had any goodwill It's a bunch of Reaganite scum and always was

Glad they added that note but that was the most partial way of writing a note possible! Very disappointed in The Bulwark for that.

They need to examine their underlying assumptions, and they still haven’t. They aren’t disagreements, they are unexaminations. They don’t see that they are at root the same as those of MAGA.

Can't believe a bunch of bush-era Republicans are fascist hacks

If The Bulwark was aware of the writer's conflict of interest, why was the piece published at all? This all reads like a laundering of public opinion, not objective commentary.

As my grandmother used to say, this is a star for your crown in heaven

Your book is revealing with quite accuracy the trajectory we are on right now. It’s helping us make sense of the dismal and isolated outlook the technofascist have for everyone. It’s also revealing how small and fanatical these guys are. I never knew Ayn F’ing Rand would have this much relevance 😩

That is a HUGE editorial note ahahahahaa

“It’s not his day job”??

This is very convincing. My random thought processes tonight, before reading this, were about just who is behind encouraging previously relatively benign 'tech giants' to get too big for their boots. It is orchestrated.

Thanks! I was going to ignore that silly review, but the FAI thing was too glaring and juicy.

Probably just asked a random AI, and it came up fine.

He already has the volcano lair in New Zealand...

They appear to be seriously deficient in ethics and morals.

Jesus. And I thought the FAI was Spanish Anarchists.

Like a warm bath for one's soul 🫠
