@evan @Edent If you look through the lens of native/western histories — indigenous struggles vs colonial modernity — the same pattern plays out again and again: the native path is degraded, disrespected, overwritten. In tech, it’s no different. You see it when horizontal, trust-based networks get steamrolled by #NGO capture, institutional gatekeeping, or #VC-funded platforms that sell convenience and control.

Referring to the Newsom item about venture capitalists for Kamala pushing anti progressive policies, it strikes me that 1) people think in terms of finite pies and 2) don’t really understand economics. I believe this is why these same Thiellites can’t relate to art unless it makes money.

This is why I don't make "community contributions" to "open platforms" which don't have some very solid legal framework for governance in place.
They sell out to VC and rug pull hard on the community that provides the bulk of their data and value.

This is the Silicon Valley “startup” model. Startups are not long-term sustainable businesses or small businesses. A startup is a temporary business designed to either grow exponentially and exit (sell) or to fail fast.
A little reminder that DuckDuckGo is venture capital (VC) funded.
The way VC works:
1. You get VC
2. You grow as fast as you can (or fail fast)
3. You sell (either to a larger corporation or to the public in an IPO; this is called the “exit”)
(In case any of you are surprised by recent/future developments.)

The epitome of Silicon Valley: a startup to help people “cheat on everything.” Best three-word summary of the history of America from 1492 onwards.
The perfect Trump-era fraud.
And OF COURSE a16z would rush in to fund this crap.

I'm the #CEO of a multi million dollar #VC funded #startup. Due to the #Pareto Principle, which tells me we only need 20% of people for the second 80% of the result, I have deducted that we can fire 80% of our employees. #quickMaths
