Opinion: Techie Billionaire Cult is a Failure

An opinion piece argues that tech billionaires have created a cult-like system of psychological manipulation through addictive technologies, isolating individuals and feeding them repetitive information to normalize their worldview. The author claims that these billionaires aim to destroy human connection, critical thinking, and the arts, targeting academics and artists as threats to their control. They envision a new race disconnected from earthly existence, with women subjugated and men manipulated to reject sensitivity. The piece accuses them of amassing wealth through exploitation and collaborating with a mentally ill sociopath in America to implement their plans. It alleges that figures like Mark Carney have been co-opted by suggesting that killing vulnerable populations is good for the economy, while AI data centers contribute to environmental destruction and cancer rates. The author predicts the cult's end goal is the extinction of human life, comparing it to the Jonestown massacre, and calls for a rejection of ChatGPT and other internet tools to reclaim critical thinking. The piece concludes that AI is unreliable and that tech billionaires have failed in their ambitions to colonize Mars and create functional AI, asserting that the universe will rebel against them.
