”Nästan inga av hans metoder bygger på långsiktig, etablerad forskning.”
Haha, nej han beter sig absolut inte som ett irrationellt pucko som följer astrologi. För han är en #techbro och de har koll på läget 😄

Sam Altman, #techbro extaordinaire, has come up with something to help match #neurodivergent people like myself with ideal jobs. I am old and cynical so I say he's simply found a profit model for us. He could care less about us.

#TechBro bitches about #DisneyPlus trying to stop him from stealing their streaming service… 😳

Disney Plus' next move has made me question my streaming choices - What Hi-Fi? https://apple.news/AAwKfdpnrRwWNCUOQSQ1H5g

@BPStuart He's an asshole that can be further sub-categorized into a #techbro. Most #techbros are experts in the art of assholery.

Headline should read: #TechBro Party in the Desert that trashes "#MotherNature" whle claiming to celebrate Mother Nature, gets rained on

“We made it, but it was pure hell (walking) through the mud,” one attendee said, after hiking 2 miles through the mud. “Each step felt like we were walking with two big cinderblocks on our feet.”

@fedor AI is becoming the new #techbro slogan like #cloud used to be.

There was a really dumb #debate #AsaHutchinson #MikeConley #ChrisChristie #RonDeSatan #VivekRamaswamy is a .#techbro imbecile #NikkiHaley hates women #TimScott sild his soul and the governor of #NorthDakota limped in to say nothing.

How to kill Meta
=============

Have you seen the movie "True Lies", starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

There's a scene where Arnold, who is being held hostage and interrogated under a Truth serum, tells his captors exactly how he plans to kill them in the next few seconds. He follows through.

In the same spirit, I am disclosing the following to Mark Zuckerberg:

1. Legally, after what he did to FB users data, and appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy, he is obligated to release a user's data to the user, if they so request.

2. I plan to create a migration path for users from FaceBook to the Fediverse. This migration path will be available at the click of a button.

3. I will take out ads, on FaceBook, to convince people to switch to the Fediverse, and offer them a one-click migration button. Pushing that button will take all your data and social network, and move it to the Fediverse, intact.

4. The Social Network is now free from the grasp of a corporation that arbitrarily censors Free Speech. Free from shady closed source algorithms that determine who sees what on the platform. Free from commercials for products that basically pollute the environment, from the factory to the landfill, for shallow consumerism. Free at last!

Loving how The Verge is covering these Techbro CEOs, and not being mouthpieces like other media are. They covered Reddit and Huffman, providing a lot of context. Huffman did not like it and even cut off access to The Verge, and publicly attacked them.

I'm watching an old talk from #mathiasbuus creator of #dat, #hypercore and now #keet and #holepunch and it acts as a great intro to #p2p #distributed networks and also has a lot of references about #bittorrent and #piratebay.

Makes you wonder how can a folk turn full #techbro in a few years and dedicate his time working and promoting #web3 stuff and #cryptocurrencies ...
(Spoiler alert: money!)

If you wondered how #hippy #capitalists view #workers, the news that #SanFrancisco is the first #city in the world to allow driverless #taxis to operate on its streets, tells you what you need to know.

The #TechBro capital of the world is trying to put ordinary folk out of work...

Johnny Rotten once said: 'never trust a hippy'... yup, that's about it!

@privacyint so #techbro #peterthiel is going after people with #disabilities in the #uk using his anti #privacy #surveillance company #palantir
God I hate #billionaires

Viikkokaupalla hehkutettu suprajohdemateriaali näyttää olleen keksitty juttu tutkijoiden mukaan. Ehkä #techbro yhteisö ei tällä kertaa ehtinyt lypsää yhtä paljon rahaa valtiolta ja rahoittajilta kuin silloin Theranoksen aikaan? https://www.fastcompany.com/90934950/lk-99-optimism-fades-researchers-cast-doubt-on-claims?fbclid=IwAR13ZwIcR1TP-CFQ_-fxE-zhJ57FPxKtB2fb8aSyFdZSPwAjJA4fU7Dc1zw

A #reactionary #crypto #techbro (but I repeat myself) has self-funded his own unofficial #NoCampaign for the upcoming Australian referendum on the #Indigenous #VoiceToParliament. To that end, he made various online video ads fearing an algorithmically-generated person of colour expressing their concerns about listening to #Aboriginal people when they say they want to be listened to.

Faced with the predictable backlash (and #FreePublicity, who would have thought it?), his response (only slightly translated): "how could you possibly think this my ads against listening to Indigenous people would depict an Aboriginal person? Don't you realise that I'm targeting people who *don't* want to hear from Aboriginal voices? Why would I pick a fake Aboriginal person to make a #fearmongering claim about people falsely claiming to be Aboriginal? And anyway, I can always tell at a glance with 100% accuracy whether someone is Aboriginal or not, can't everyone?"

@weirdwriter I just heard that same phrase used in my web dev class: stuffing. At least the video narrator roundly condemned the practice as being detrimental to those who depend on its proper usage in order to use the web at all. That's kind of why I lump AI stans, coin bros, and SEO types into the #techbro category; a decidedly pejorative one

@MichaelRoss I would say a CTO role varies in scope depending on the company size. To that end I've only met a CTO once that could be considered highly knowledgeable about technology and thereby not a #techbro.

@JoBlakely That's my term for a #techbro that thinks they can predict the future and they're not even partially right, they're completely wrong.

So I am on #lemmy for a bit this morning where I am seeing more about #AI. Is it bad that I really hate #AI? I think some things should not be replaced by humans. Moreover, the fact that the AI movement is being funded by #techbro #nostradumbasses makes this technology that more alarming.

@jlroberson SF needs to vomit out the entire #techbro #grift community that he embodies. He is the epitome of the problem but not it's entirety.

People like him (not just him) make the entire tech sector a toxic environment, and a have a corrosive effect on wider society.

@LokiTheCat Elon Musk is a special category of #techbro that I call a #nostradumbass for his uncanny ability to be just plain abysmal at future prophecy. 😹
