War Bros Didn’t Always Rule Silicon Valley | - Steven Levy WIRED archive.is/otX1w (this is so good. I remember those days) #AI #techBros #SiliconValley #history

Text Shot: The story as I see it is that beginning in the late 1970s, a new generation of technologists, identifying with the counterculture, operated with a set of values that unleashed innovation and ironically set the stage for the industry’s current wealth. Yes, that movement carried a torch from the field’s defense industry roots. But even as DOD funding kept fueling innovations (Darpa grants provided dough for the GUI, the internet, and Google Search), that new generation was characterized by idealism, a hackerish love of building things, and disdain for conventional practices. That mindset changed not only the course of the computer industry, but the culture of American business. (Before Apple Computer, a CEO wouldn’t dare come to work in anything but a suit.) Denying the existence of that idealism is not only inaccurate, but it conveniently lets the new generation of defense contractors off the hook for their pivot toward deadly materiel.

#TechBros blindsided. "A #cabal that never doubted the greatness of their ambitions unexpectedly finds their project in the hot seat, forcing them into the unusual position of having to persuade the great unwashed of the merits of their endeavor."

Yeah neither does #India since it works on the British system and it’s to their decrement, why there are so many right-wing autocratic to frankly fascist #desi #techbros as @disabilitystor1.bsky.social can confirm.

Two #FacultySenate colleagues are a (male) #history professor married to a (woman) #engineering professor and another is a (non-AI) novel-writing #engineering professor and I actually like spending time around all of them and consider them friends

The chance of me saying that about #techbros lmao

@lazarou.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySep 27, 2026, 2:15 PM

These tech bros are so fucking BORING, aren't they?

And we're all so thoroughly sick of them and their shitty technology

Will the AI apocalypse come for us all? I can’t tell you that it won’t, in the same way I can’t say an asteroid won’t collide with us five years from now. What I can say is that none of the people claiming so inspire my confidence, none of them seem to think particularly deeply about the world and how it works, or offer plausible accounts of how this could happen. GDP is not rising by double digits, employment remains high, my Claude is as stubbornly low-witted as ever. Every prediction made by this cohort in my lifetime has been wrong by orders of magnitude. I see little reason to take them seriously. More than that, I find these people and their worldview profoundly boring. The Al apocalypse is the sort of mono-maniacal junk-intellectualism people resort to when they live a dull uneventful life devoid of stimulating interests and engagements. It is one-dimensional thought, like that guy you know on Facebook who responds to every thread with dreary rants about ULEZ. None

'While the backlash has largely focused on stopping the proliferation of sprawling sites packed with energy-guzzling computer servers, the revolt is not merely nimby opposition to local development.'

We already know about #techbros so no surprise. I’m more determined to see it and pass the word as a result.
