Ben Smith on how tech elites and the super rich drive public discourse and exert control over media via private chats:

"Their influence flows through X, Substack, and podcasts, and constitutes a kind of dark matter of American politics and media."

Parker Molloy comments on Ben Smith's report about the huge control the monied tech bros exert on the media via private chats:

"We're increasingly living in a world where public discourse is shaped by private conversations among elites that we'll never see. That should worry anyone who cares about genuine intellectual diversity and democratic decision-making."

“The richest and most successful people in tech plotting to coopt Trump thinking they could create massive economic growth but instead becoming responsible for the most smooth brained recession in history would be a really funny plot point if it wasn’t for the suffering.”

~ Tim Miller quoted by Sam Stein

The group chats that changed America

"their influence flows through X, #Substack, & #podcasts, & constitutes a kind of dark matter of #American #politics & #media. The group chats ... are the single most important place in which a stunning realignment toward #DonaldTrump was shaped & negotiated, & an alliance between #SiliconValley & the new right formed. The group chats are “the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion”"

Text from article (edited for length): And it was just another day in Chatham House, a giant and raucous Signal group that forms part of the sprawling network of influential private chats that began during the fervid early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and which have fueled a new alliance of tech and the US right. That same week in Chatham House, Lonsdale and the Democratic billionaire Mark Cuban sparred over affirmative action, and Cuban and Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro discussed questions of culture and work ethic. This constellation of rolling elite political conversations revolve primarily around the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and a circle of Silicon Valley figures. None of their participants was surprised to see Trump administration officials firing off secrets and emojis on the platform last month. ... But their influence flows through X, Substack, and podcasts, and constitutes a kind of dark matter of American politics and media. The group chats aren’t always primarily a political space, but they are the single most important place in which a stunning realignment toward Donald Trump was shaped and negotiated, and an alliance between Silicon Valley and the new right formed. The group chats are “the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion,” wrote one of their key organizers, Sriram Krishnan, a former partner in the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (typically styled a16z) who is now the White House senior policy adviser for AI.

Manche von ihnen beteiligen sich sogar aktiv an dessen zerstörerischer Politik, allen voran Elon Musk. Wir haben mit dem Tech-Journalisten Paris Marx über den vermeintlichen Sinneswandel des Silicon Valley gesprochen und welche Form des Widerstands es nun braucht.

You stare in awe and disbelief as the child one more time, after many attempts, place their hand on the oven element. "*sigh*... that searing pain? Yeah, that's gonna happen again and again."

In this analogy I look at the average #SocialMedia #user as a child that just doesn't learn, because they keep trusting #SiliconValley #TechBros instead of going to #WebSocial.

The Breakthrough Prize rewards achievements in science and mathematics, and is a red-carpet event, attended by Hollywood's finest, plus tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Marc Andreesen and more. Canadian actor Seth Rogen called out the tech titans for their support of the Trump administration when he presented an award alongside Ed Norton at the "Oscars of Science" — and his remarks were cut from the YouTube video that went live a week later. @THR shares what he said about science, Silicon Valley and RFK Jr., and how the "full video" was edited.
