A new form of capital is ascending: cloud capital—networked algorithmic machines that grant their owners remarkable powers to modify our behaviour. And just as financiers needed neoliberalism, today’s tech lords need a new ideology to legitimise their rule. I call it techlordism.

These clowns can't operate this shit safely. They will mini melt down and scapegoat others then do it again.

The regulators have been relegated to bootlicking. There is no one making them do it safely, only their own judgement (shudders.)

We are truly fucked though, and this nuclear bs is part of it.

this nuclear bs is part of it.
