The white nationalist billionaire Peter Thiel has become an especially vocal advocate of the sanctuary — for the rich — that New Zealand increasingly offers. He’s been working to get local government approval for a hillside “bunker-style compound” that features an “accommodation pod” for himself and a guest lodge for two dozen of his best safety-seeking pals...#PeterThiel..#GOP..#oligarch..#whitenationalism..

Yuval Harari on the rising trend of techno-fascism driven by populism and artificial intelligence has been visible since the US presidential election in November

Nexus, which was published just a few months earlier, is a timely explainer of the potential consequences of AI on #democracy and totalitarianism. In the book, Harari does not just sound the alarm on #singularity—the hypothetical future point at which technology, particularly AI, moves beyond human control and advances irreversibly on its own—but also on #AI’s foreignness.

If you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.

Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech

"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."

@katzenjens Dass #Trump nur der willige Idiot ist, merkt man doch allein schon an seinen inhaltsleeren Aussagen. Von nix ne Ahnung, aber viel rumblubbern. Wahrscheinlich sagen sie ihm ständig: "Hier Donny, platziere mal diese oder jene Aussage - egal wie".

Ich habe nie verstanden, warum sich alle auf Trump konzentrieren, seitdem ich das erste Mal vom #Project2025 und #PeterThiel gehört habe.

#Palantir in der Schweiz

In Altendorf im Kanton Schwyz entsteht der Europa-Standort des Unternehmens Palantir [ #Thiel ]. Das #Geschäftsmodell der Firma: Daten zusammenführen und verknüpfen. Hernani Marques, Sprecher des Chaos Computer Club Schweiz, sagt, was er davon hält.

"Das eine ist, dass die Kundenliste von Palantir praktisch schon aus #Polizei und #Geheimdiensten im westlichen Raum besteht. Das liest sich wie das Who-is-Who des ganzen militärisch-industriellen Komplexes. Das andere ist, dass es schon etwas bedeutet, wenn die CIA von Anfang an dabei ist...."
