Keeping an eye on the lies and machinations of the tech bros, broligarchs, Joe Brogans, and every other weird bro causing harm to society as a result of their fragile masculinity

The Economist out here gutting Elon Musk like a fish. "Mr Musk—who predicted in a recent interview with this newspaper that the economic abundance brought about by AI would make money irrelevant—seems in no hurry to give away his fortune in the meantime." www.economist.com/business/202...

🚨 TODAY’S THE DAY 📚 After years of work, my new book HYPERSCALE is finally on bookshelves! It chronicles the data center boom just as the backlash is reaching a fever pitch. Get your copy today: hyperscalebook.com
Marc Andreessen, like most of the tech bros, is a vain, petty man-baby who throws tantrums about regulation and taxes, thinking they're some sort of hardship. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This is a perfect encapsulation of Musk: It's all about selling the myth of him as a visionary 'creating the future' for the rest of us (and hence juicing the stock price), rather than creating a practical product that can create actual profit for his company.
Elon Musk/Tesla just unveiled their long-rumoured 'flying car' at today's Roadster event. An impressive marketing video catering to the 'Everyone is 12 now' population, but totally useless for everyday driving (and unlikely to ever be street legal in any way).
Also Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen's intellectual guru, which is perhaps more important because they're basically running the US government now (and Thiel 'owns' JD Vance).
I'm sure the NY Times tomorrow will have another story about Hasan Piker, and not a mention of the VP's "intellectual guru" saying this...
This is grabbing people's attention but I think it's also worth pointing out that in this same discussion Kurt Metzger says he gets his info from Kiwi Farms (look it up) and said @bencollins.bsky.social last name was a "converso name for Cohen". The Rogansphere is an absolute shitshow of awfulness.
Comedian Marc Maron mentioned reading @gilduran.com's The Nerd Reich and discussed the broligarch's anti-democracy, pro-network state views on a recent podcast.
Full video here (Nerd Reich part begins around 50 minutes in): youtu.be/HMh5ztIJtp4?...
The discussion was in the context of the new Elephant Graveyard video that has gone viral. We mentioned last year that the previous Elephant Graveyard video had mentioned the Dark Enlightenment and its influence on the Rogansphere: bsky.app/profile/weir...
For those of us who've been raising questions about how the Dark Enlightenment cult have been co-opting the Rogansphere to manipulate modern culture, you'll definitely enjoy this pay-off near the end. Though you should watch the whole thing for the full experience! (ping @gilduran.com)
Just for clarity, Pax Silica is being pushed by Jacob Helberg, whose husband, Keith Rabois, is a Thielverse OG from back in his Stanford Review days.
Peter Thiel says the "Antichrist" will preach "peace." Now his cronies in the Trump regime are pushing "Pax Silica" ("Silicon Peace"). It's a grandiose name for AI colonialism and imperialism. 1st target: The Philippines. More from @kieraevebutler.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

h/t @jennycohn.bsky.social who has been watching Pax Silica closely. bsky.app/profile/jenn...
😳 Jacob Helberg—who left his position as an advisor at *Palantir* to join the Trump State Dept—spearheads the international “Pax Silica” initiative. In May, he discussed it w/ Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale: “Jacob Helberg on Pax Silica & the New Global Order in the AI Age” 1/
A reminder that Marc Andreessen is a dedicated Dark Enlightenment adherent with close connections to Curtis Yarvin and Balaji Srinivasan - and that destroying college education (which Yarvin sees as part of the 'Cathedral') and creating a DE parallel is part of the plan. gizmodo.com/andreessen-h...
Some discussion of the destruction of the 'Cathedral' and creation of parallel institutions aligned with the Dark Enlightenment in this essay: www.dailygrail.com/2024/10/the-...
Maybe it's just me but I feel like the killing of 123 children should be something that people are held accountable for, rather than discussed like it was a simple bureaucratic error. gizmodo.com/pentagon-inv...
A good write-up on why policy wonks and the general public should better understand the TESCREAL and Dark Enlightenment ideologies that are driving the tech world: www.techpolicy.press/what-policym...

Joe Rogan went viral for calling Trump supporters “Rabid” and “Fucking Nuts”. Does this mean he is losing his faith in Trump? Michael Marshall and Cecil Cicirello put Joe's September 16th 2026 interview with comedian Ron White into context. youtu.be/9ZP8jOWjd1g?...
While you're waiting for the Alex Gibney documentary on Elon Musk to be released, be sure to check out the brilliant @techwontsave.us 4-part series 'Elon Musk Unmasked', which absolutely buries him (often using his own words). techwontsave.us/elon-musk-un...

Australia's ABC has produced a 30 minute piece on Prospera - the 'network state' that has taken over a part of Honduras, funded by the likes of Thiel, Altman and Andreessen. youtu.be/RH3pfIcVk7k?...
Me when I heard voiceovers from @jacobsilverman.com and @gilduran.com at the start. (Sadly, they did not appear at any later stage)

Josh Hawley is a Thiel boy, so plenty of skepticism from me that this is more performative than anything (Thiel was an early investor in Flock), though possibly as a minority investor this is an easy scapegoat to take the heat off the other companies (or a dig at Andreesssen, who has more in Flock)?

I have a chapter on Lonsdale and his punitive (and influential) homeless policy in GILDED RAGE.
This is where we are: a tech billionaire who, as an undergrad writing in the Stanford Review, "blasted a student movement to raise custodians' pay, warning it 'destroys incentive for them to improve themselves,'" is now a chief architect of a homelessness policy built around punishment and coercion.

This network has been running for many years now and has big American money behind it. Cofnas is just one of their guys and they are all over the world.
