My new book HYPERSCALE is out in two weeks — and my copies just arrived! I recorded an unboxing video to share some thoughts as it gets closer to release and show you what it looks like. Hate data centers? You’re going to want a copy! Preorder yours today: bookshop.org/a/18331/9798...

Das Gespräch zw Döpfner & Thiel ist atemberaubend in der Kombination von Herrisch- und Ahnungslosigkeit. Da sitzen zwei mächtige Männer, baff ob der Trümmer einer Welt, die sie mitzerkloppt haben. Warum nur, fragt Döpfner, lehnt die US-Bevölkerung KI so vehement ab? Steckt China dahinter? Fake News?

Many people don’t realize that many people in the tech industry, especially in its upper echelons, have developed a deeply harmful and delusional worldview they’re trying to impose on everyone else. That’s at the root of their misguided view of where AI is going. disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...

No, the real threat, according to these supposed geniuses, is that in ten years AI could break free from its human developers and decide it wants to kill humanity. If you’re big into science fiction, you might recognize that kind of a narrative: whether HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey or The Terminator himself, this notion that our technology will come for us makes for compelling entertainment.

For more than a decade, people in the tech industry have been slowly deluding themselves into thinking those science fictional storylines were far closer to being realized than they are in practice. They think our future is one where we need to merge with computers, cover the face of the planet with data centers, and eventually start building them on other planets to fill with digital “people.”

Reading @gilduran.com NERD REICH and the current fascist moment needs more histories like this. Many talk about impending fascism, how to spot it when it arrives -but this fascism has been decades in the making. Economically, culturally, technologically

Um Sarrazins "Thesen" und ihr gegenwärtiges Revival zu verstehen, ist der langfristige Trend zur Radikalisierung neoliberaler Ideologie von zentraler Bedeutung. @quinnslobodian.com arbeitet diesen in seinem fantastischen Buch Hayek's Bastards heraus. Auch Sarrazin selbst kommt vor. #Lesetipp

AI backer Peter Thiel admits that “AI models” cld be used to 'rig the elections in 2028’…” But he wants everyone to worry about Anthropic (which refused to let Claude be used for mass citizen surveillance or autonomous weapons) rather than Elon Musk, X (backed by Thiel allies) or Palantir 7/4/26 …1/

Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival on June 30, 2026, in a session with political scientist Francis Fukuyama, Peter Thiel, the Palantir co-founder and an early Trump backer in Silicon Valley, said Anthropic, a "woke liberal company" he credited with "winning the Al race," would "rig the elections in 2028" in support of Democrats and would
"completely outwit" any countervailing efforts Elon Musk might make through
X. CNN, which reported the remarks, described the claim as "an unsupported conspiratorial claim." Anthropic declined to comment, pointing reporters to its April 2026 blog post on election safeguards, which describes bias-testing results (its models scored 95-96% on
even-handedness evaluations)Regulatory context
Thiel's remarks came against the backdrop of genuine tension between Anthropic and the Trump administration. In March 2026, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a
"supply chain risk," a label typically reserved for firms tied to foreign adversaries, after talks broke down over Anthropic's refusal to let Claude be used for mass surveillance of U.S. citizens or autonomous weapons; Anthropic sued in federal court to reverse the designation.
CEO Dario Amodei has also previously compared Trump's use of power to that of a "feudal warlord," in remarks that predate the company's subsequent national-security contracting work.

Gift article “Musk’s worldview..is explicitly antihuman..But it is also (& this is the point of Slobodian & Turnoffs persuasive & vital book) not just Musk’s worldview. It already underpins much of contemporary capitalism & may come to be seen as the presiding pathology in our time of monsters”

Space Oddity | Mark O’Connell

Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff’s Muskism examines how Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire, by selling a vision of the future that very few people would want to inhabit.

Einen Tag später erscheint dieser Artikel, der auf quälend vielen Zeichen das Bild des exzentrischen Spacemans reproduziert, ohne darauf einzugehen, dass Musk inzwischen einer der mächtigsten rechtsradikalen Politiker der Welt ist, dessen "Doge" Politik unzähligen Menschen das Leben gekostet hat.

Er sei ein Mann mit drei Gesichtern, sagen langjährige Weggefährten von Elon Musk. Und erklären, mit welchen Methoden er seine Unternehmen führt.
