I attended a bigwig event where Jason gave a speech; I’d heard of him but hadn’t followed his podcast or seen him talk before. I was dumbfounded by the arrogance and lack of concern for people. It left me with a very negative impression of the tech bro scene and Musk (who he mentioned he was buddies with this) and this was pre MAGA-Musk.
Exactly the same reaction. I realized these kind of people don’t actually care about technology. They’re not engineers. They don’t love the industry or the impressive human achievement. They see tech as a vehicle to power. It’s all a power game.
