Looking at their reaction to US anti-trust action, EU regulations, and the AI Bubble and it feels like the US tech exec class and hangers-on has just gone completely off the rails irrational?

Like a sad clown with rabies screaming at shadows—makeup streaking from the froth around their mouths

@baldur I do wonder if covid cooked everyone's brains and this will be normal for the rest of my life.

@takosix That thought has crossed my mind as well.

Oh, and everything to do with TikTok. Not a big fan of the app but US tech people make it sound like a successful scifi version of MK Ultra and Manchurian Candidate rolled into one.

@baldur
Shudders. I've had three psychiatrists and therapists wonder if some of what the CIA MK Ultra project learned was used on me.

@baldur tech is facing stagnant growth due to the maturity of the mobile platform and monopolies and they are panicking after voice ui, self-driving, AR, Bitcoin, and likely AI have all failed to drive growth.

@luxmoore @baldur “line must go way up” no matter how or for what animates much of tech now and your observation seems spot on. However,
I truly believe a pivot will happen. The pivot will be to energy / bio or both. This new money class doesn’t care what it is about (see crypto to Ai stampede) just that a hockey stick can go up. If that becomes unlikely in some space it feels like the would move on to become true believers of the next.
