Everything about computational tech is turning me into .
Admittedly, technology is one of the few things does well in, but all that talent is wasted on Silicon Valley: techbros have made me hate the words ‘synergy’, ‘innovation’, ‘disruption’, and ‘wheelhouse’. Those four words should not receive 1st amendment protection.
Because they were first and bullied and dominated their way to the top via stolen talent of immigrants from the Global South and the need for advanced machines in the Cold War. There was that brief period where all the technology was new and was being developed in universities by students and researchers. Then corpos came in with NDAs and EULAs and that's where we are now.
The profit motive ruined what was basically a digital library and public discussion hall and turned it a fire hose of slop. And they want us to be grateful for it.
Don’t forget exploitation of the global south for resources and minerals
My least favourite thing is them using "revolutionary [product]" so fucking much.
