A lot of replies to this thread along the lines of "they don't care about security because look at how they're handling climate change and vaccines"
They do care. They have an alternate theory of security that's focused on securing militarized technofascism using AI and quantum physics.

I just wish someone would be honest and say “we are ending civilian science in favor of science that is focused on serving national security and war”

At a certain point of power imbalance playing devil's advocate and granting nuance is just rolling over at best (if not just running defense)
You don't actually gotta hand it to the trillion dollar technofascism project

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.

I wrote 1200 fun words today! Here's how they end: "For those of us concerned with the rise of technofascism, there is critical potential in short circuiting the pathways by which authority is seized via proximity to scientific thought."

Ok finally watched Eddington! It was good and had surprisingly insightful things to say about technofascism and left to rightwing grifter pipeline. I personally wished for fewer explosions and for more child trafficking conspiracy/cult bits but overall enjoyable! Unlike Garland, Aster is smart

Worth pointing out that mainstream media thrives on chaos pushing the news cycle
Also mainstream media helped elect Trump by sanewashing him & attacking Biden (who was no prize tbc)
This in addition to the vested interest billionaire owners have in technofascism
Lose-lose for us
Win-win for them

Technofascism in action
So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

I know it’s a concept that people believe shouldn’t be done at all no matter how you tackle it but MAWS makes the best case for it out of any of them because there actually is way more to it and it’s used to illustrate parallels with Earth and the technofascism of both

I can't be the first or even 50th person to post this, but it just clicked for me while microwaving beans and cheese that technofascism offers the exact same premise of authoritarian Christianity in its view that today's actions don't matter because a utopian future is ahead

all the people that sucked Trump's toes and paid for his fucking ballroom
some of them making "problematic" claims like Zuck's masculinism or Musk's nazism
technofascism rising... in those hands AI is posing a serious risk for citizen information, opinion manipulation, data collection, tracking

We spent the entirety of the 2010s hearing about what kind of socialism would come after the inevitable downfall of capitalism and I think nobody really expected "neoliberal technofascism" to be the likeliest actual answer
I feel like there's something kind of interesting that some of the highest profile Silicon Valley firms (Tesla, OpenAI, Palantir, Anduril) have outrageous valuations given their current revenue that seem in no small part predicated in them taking control of the United States government
I read this future of war / we’re not ready piece with interest and it’s strikingly shallow.
Surveillance and targeting have advanced, yes. That’s in my 2018 book. Much of the rest reads like tech company hype marketing.
AI will make bio weapons that target one person! Well, it sure can’t now.

This. I’m (also) opposed to technochauvinism and technofascism, which are tied these.
When I’m accused of “technopessimism“ I counter that I’m not “pessimistic about technology“; I am opposed to the economic, political, and social project of upward wealth transfer that “AI” is being leveraged to bring about. If that phrasing is useful to others, then go ahead and use it.
