JD<p>Heard about the “Dystopia Now” podcast yesterday, got 10 minutes into the latest episode, immediately downloaded the back catalogue, and started binging from the beginning.</p><p>The hosts focus on the big Silicon Valley names, and their links to innocuous sounding movements like “Abundance” and “Effective Altruism.” But talk about the downsides, making it sound a good but like William Gibson’s Jackpot concept. (All the poor people die, leaving the powerful and wealthy to inherit the earth.)</p><p>It also connects lots of dots about what’s going on in Washington, especially with Musk and Vance. </p><p><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>podcast</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/siliconValleyCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>siliconValleyCult</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/siliconvalley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>siliconvalley</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/DystopiaNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DystopiaNow</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sites.libsyn.com/566555" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">sites.libsyn.com/566555</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Aaron<p>It's Cory Doctorow's "Shitty Tech Adoption Curve" in action, where tech funded &amp; developed for warfare eventually makes it to the Black and brown communities near you, after they've saturated markets of military use, use on prisoners, and use at the borders.</p><p>Capitalism simply has to do this. The economic structure of the status quo births a new corner of dystopia every day.
