Increasingly feels like something very weird is going on behind the campy visible drama of Elon-vs-twitter. Like some sort of larger battle for control of social media or something đ§

Iâve been increasingly unplugged from SV in the last few years so I donât quite have a sense of whatâs going on

I no longer have the energy or interest to follow the blow-by-blow of this shit these days
Just wish theyâd sort it out and we can all make out exit/voice choices and get on with life. Too many damn titanic battles I kinda donât give a shit about

Iâve had a good time on twitter but I have enough of a life beyond it that if the titans go all scorched earth with each other over it I wouldnât really care *that* much

Itâs a nice platform and weâve had good times, but there was life before twitter and there will be life after

It feels like this is digital Ukraine on the eve of a profoundly stupid corporate war đ¤

Feels like SV increasingly spends more time/attention on stanning technology than on technology itself. Most of the interesting conversations Iâve been having about technology in the last couple of years have been with people who are neither geographically nor spiritually in SV

Itâs like technology has turned into I Fucking Love Technology!⢠same as happened to science a few years ago. I guess technology is now Technology!â˘

Thank you everyone for coming in at such an ungodly hour. The folks at Blackrock have informed me that we need the collective brain trust here urgently to deal with this Elon offer. So - why doesnât someone tell me what they think is going on here?

I think itâs absolutely the case. I also think this wouldnât have come about if there wasnât some kind of forcing function. Since the only things that seem to get Elonâs attention are X-risk things, I have to believe this has something to do with nukes and narrative control. đł
