“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.
The year of technoligarchy
In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

AI glasses are vaporware that will create masses of e-waste and in most cases barely function. An alarming amount of this show is LLM wrappers. I was here when Kickstarter and Indiegogo was big - this is magnitudes more deceptive and misleading, and the CTA should be ashamed.

TIME magazine is owned by Marc Benioff, owner of Salesforce, who literally ran an AI agents puff piece about his ow company in the magazine. I’m unsurprised he thinks a bunch of grifters are person of the year, he thinks they’re cool
Just wait until you see Time’s Person of the Year…😱😭

The only way to not let being a hater destroy you is to be very sentimental and loving of those closest to you, there must be balance or otherwise you’re just The Tech Bastard

Google AI overviews nearly sent me driving to the wrong airport terminal (and nearly caused me to pay twice for parking).

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan
Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?
CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
