Technofascist Manifestos with Eddie Kim

One of our tech overlords, Mark Zuckerberg recently published a manifesto in the Wall Street Journal describing why we should cheerlead him on his quest for infinite growth and profits. Eddie Kim writes for the anti-generative AI outlet Gazetteer SF, and several of his recent pieces contend with why Marc Andreesen (venture capitalist, Andreesen Horowitz/a16z), Alex Karp (co-founder with Peter Thiel of surveillance giant Palantir), and Zuckerberg keep larping as Aristotle. Also discussed: Crime reporting that only takes into account press releases from the District Attorney and Mayor's offices, how tech media article slop fed the AI bubble, and the Luigi Mangione effect.
