100% accurate appraisal of "The Nerd Reich." My own review (and Gil on Techtonic) coming soon.
“The Nerd Reich is a fantastically unputdownable must-read…Durán documents his case persuasively and convinces the reader that he is not misusing the F-word when he alleges his key figures qualify as fascists. He’s done his homework…and now raises an urgent alarm.”

AI dictates *every* aspect of low-income people's lives.
A must-read report by @kevindeliban.bsky.social of @techtonicjustice.bsky.social on how intrusive AI has become, and the urgency to change course. AI is not inevitable. This can be undone.

As I said on Techtonic this week: one thing that would really help encourage better tech is to see Elon Musk in handcuffs being carted off to prison.

To all the people glumly stating you can’t go after Elon Musk because he’s rich: you have been trained into holding this false belief.
There is absolutely no physical or natural law stating that really rich men cannot be punished.
The only barrier is cowardice.

Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).
