"Silicon Valley FREAKS like Sam Altman have been operating at 110% efficiency in their grift game and collecting billions in funding because they've managed to convince the world that they're THIS CLOSE to achieving singularity when clearly they've just been dicking around and putting all their effor"
"in tech alone you could basically render the entirety of silicon valley useless. couple hundred people: bam, good god google gone."
"Even taking out the obvious big events, it was the peak of Fight Song/Hamilton era woke neoliberalism, Silicon Valley triumphalism, terrible poptimist criticism, and Marvel garbage was at peak hegemony too."
"Everyone wants to defund this and that but they never talk about the sheer amount of capital and finite natural resources these dumb nerds have vaporized on complete garbage."
"setting aside their politics for a second I legit just hate the way SV types talk about things. The way they use words makes me grind my teeth."
"because it already looks so opulent to me and then you have people here like 'lol coping zoomers my experience in googamabook 5 years ago was way cooler we got lobster for lunch every day and shit'. what the fuck is going on over there???? is this a thing that all american coastal white collar worke"
"The tech influence is suffocating, from the cafés filled with people glued to their MacBooks, writing code with chatgpt. Where the fuck is the Seattle I heard about, with its laid-back grunge vibe and indie coffee shops? This place feels like it's been overrun by Silicon Valley rejects and high-end "
"Like Crypto, NFTs, the Metaverse before it, AI is just another pyramid scheme by Silicon Valley to keep investors happy and prop up their insanely overvalued companies."
"Maybe it just took an extra century for 'the closing of the frontier' to fully take effect, and maybe Silicon Valley + Seattle + Hollywood being the leaders of American culture and industry have destroyed what remained of its identity as a rugged place."
"If your response is to post about how expensive it is to live in Silicon Valley or NW SF, it's as out of touch as a new grad complaining about how they cannot live in Lower Manhattan or Wesley Heights."
"It's cliche at this point, but still interesting that all these Silicon Valley freaks refuse to expose their children to the technology they created. There will be an 'office structure' a few thousand feet away from the primary structure that does have these things, but that will be off-limits from "
"Good. That's a healthy reaction to such bullshit. When has Silicon Valley done anything good for humanity? Only an absolute cum-brain would hope Tinder to be any different"
"It needs to be eradicated. We're likely not going backwards technologically but we don't need whatever they've got going on over there in the near and distant future."
"Of course we all moved on from that, but the worst part is how what would have became forgotten schoolyard talk has now been eternally preserved on some server in Silicon Valley or wherever."
"Everyone talks about GPUs, talent, and Silicon Valley when it comes to AI. But the real bottleneck is electricity."
"Maybe I deserve it, my job is bullshit after all. (That said, I'll still take my hatred of Silicon Valley and every one of its f*ggot ass tech worker moguls and vassals to the grave with me)."
"It's like these zoomer Silicon Valley people who have no idea what a granola aesthetic is and genuinely think it's just about going outside. They'll be making $400k, driving Teslas, dressed head to toe in Patagonia and Lululemon, have The Weeknd and keshi on their Spotify wrapped"
"Currently in silicon valley for an internship. Literally every Asian-White couple I've seen has been AMWF. What is going on?"
"always made fun of Silicon Valley for being lame, and I always thought the singularity was just incel eschatology. Dall-E, GPT-3, and all had really given me pause here."
"Textiles, furniture, architecture inspired by The Bauhaus are clean, simple-yet-appealing, and suggest a utopian future but not in the soulless techno-optimist vision à la Silicon Valley in the early 2010s."
"Now of course they were always right-wing in the economic sense in the same way every corporation is. But socially, the tech worker class always presented as very liberal, reflective of their San Francisco home. When that weird Google employee posted his manifesto about how women shouldn't be allowe"
"Bonus points for being an East Coast LAC alum no one's ever heard of now living their rich west coast life in SF/SV"
"I like: Succession Peep Show Veep Silicon Valley"
"I also found out he's from Florida. Unsure why he's fucking around in a small coastal California town, he could at least be in Silicon Valley if he wants investors/a crypto future."
"And if you look at the people who like him,it's all asocial tech dweebs who came about at a time when Silicon Valley entrepreneurs were thought by everyone do be Randian supermen who can solve the world's problems."
"It was 103 today. The techies are melting folks. It's dark now, still hot."
"The whole Silicon Valley Startup aesthetic feels like pure psychopathy buried beneath a mountain of HR speak and fake positivity. I think it would be a really interesting vibe to explore."

"It is so hot in Silicon Valley today"
