alt Hacker Newsisn’t that how we got here though? Everyone in silicon valley was so busy making sure they were open minded, steelmanning, and not treating politics like a sport that no one in the silicon valley halls of power pointed out that the emperor has no clothes and now we have a (sorry woke police) shrieking retard president leading us through the singularity.

No?
Maybe you were busy being open minded and etc.
But uh rest of Silicon Valley was pretty openly rooting for Trump to win 2024.
The emperor having no clothes is actually really useful when you can interact with the emperor. You want them then to be mallable like Tim Cook giving Trump a golden statue so they're immune to tariffs that their competitors have to pay.

It definitely seems like having Trump in power suits the rich and powerful tech lobby just fine, that's for sure
