One of the more famous digital investors, Marc #Andreessen, half of the #a16z name, is not only on the board of #Meta, but also investor in #Doublespeed.

And Doublespeed's goal is to create #AI ads and spam them to social networks. Of course, neither declared as AI nor as paid advertisement. To promote products you might not buy otherwise.

The future is coming. You will not like it. Unless you are Andreessen or some of his friends.

Es beginnt ebenso kafkaesk wie komisch, als der NYT-Bestsellerautor Silverman vom Investor, #Entrepreneur und Trump-Unterstützer Vivek Ramaswamy angeheuert, bzw . wie ein Asset eingekauft wurde.

So a la "Hat gute Kritiken, verkauft haufenweis Bücher, also investieren wir mal ein paar Peanuts und heuern den probeweise an".

Geheuert wofür? Das wussten nämlich beide nicht und so blieb es, weil...

Heut gibts ausnahmsweise mal eine Buchempfehlung , nämlich "The Gilded Rage" von Jacob Silverman.

Der Titel spielt auf das "gilded age", das vergoldete Zeitalter der US-Ölbarone vor 100 Jahren an.

Silverman zeichnet ein garstiges Sittenbild, wie eine parasitäre Oberschicht aus sogenannten "Entrepreneurs", Investoren, Zockern, Opportunisten und Betrügern in den #Faschismus abgedriftet ist.

A new group of Coinbase stockholders has filed a derivative lawsuit in Delaware. This is a follow on suit to an original suit filed in April 2023, alleging the company's leadership including CEO Armstrong, and top investors, including Marc Andreessen over an alleged years long scheme involving insider trading of billions of dollars worth of company stock.

The allegations amount to a type of insider trading claim that Armstrong, Andreessen, and others avoided roughly $1B in losses by selling $2.9B worth of stock following Coinbase’s 2021 direct listing.

Further, information was allegedly withheld from investors, Coinbase insiders (Armstrong, Andreessen), sold $4.2B worth of stock in the company. The plaintiffs allege these proceeds constitute “lucrative insider trading” that took advantage of the “artificially inflated price” of Coinbase stock. decrypt.co/350490/coinbase-c-s #CoinBase #Lawsuit #InsiderTrading #Armstrong #Investors #Andreessen #Crypto #CryptoExchange #CryptoCurrencies #Stock #StockPrice

"Now, I don’t want to say that is single-handedly causing the collapse of society. That would be a slight exaggeration. But I do believe this one incident shows that is at the nexus of all the ways society is decaying.

He’s not responsible. He’s just representative.

He’s the mascot of decay, the guy who’s always there when the negative trends accelerate, cheering them on and pushing things downhill faster."

Spot on!

美中有望達成TikTok協議,傳美國業務將轉交財團,甲骨文等入股持逾8成

美中擬定TikTok協議架構,將美國業務轉移至甲骨文等美資財團控股的新公司,中資持股降至兩成以下。美國議員擔憂中共仍有影響力。新公司將在美國重建TikTok app,並由甲骨文管理用戶數據。此協議仍在協商,細節可能調整。

Is #Substack the New X? What Money from #Andreessen #Horowitz might mean.

This is pretty bad for independent video content producers who are trying to make a living from their work, but who directly oppose the ideologies of such billionnaires and criticize them on a regular basis. If Andreesen and Horowitz buy Substack, these people will be silenced.

“After reaping the benefits of that public infrastructure and investment, #Andreessen went to the private sector, where he developed Netscape Navigator, eventually selling his company to AOL for billions of dollars.
And now he has betrayed the very system that made his success possible; the system in which he and a handful of others like him have profited disproportionately relative to their contribution.”

#Civitai Ban of Real People Content Deals Major Blow to the #Nonconsensual #AI #Porn Ecosystem

Civitai, an AI model sharing site backed by #Andreessen #Horowitz ( #a16z ) that 404 Media has repeatedly shown is being used to generate nonconsensual adult content, is banning AI models designed to generate the likeness of real people, the site announced Friday.

'Chatham House Rule'

Torenberg launched Chatham House the summer of 2024,
naming it after a British think tank that formalized the insight that
trusted conversations require a degree of privacy.

Two of its conservative participants said they see the group as a way to shift centrist Trump-curious figures to the Republican side,
but its founder said he’d begun it to have “a left-right exchange where we could have real conversations because of filter bubble group chats.”

Chatham House includes high-profile figures like the economist
#Larry #Summers and the historian #Niall #Ferguson,
and more partisan figures like #Shapiro and the Democratic analyst #David #Shor.

#Andreessen lurks.

But several participants described it to me as something like a gladiatorial arena with #Cuban most often in the center,
sparring with conservatives.

(“no idea what you are talking about :)” Cuban emailed in response to an inquiry about his arguments on Chatham House.)

The Group Chat Era depended on part of the American elite feeling shut out from public spaces,
and on the formation of a new conservative consensus.

Both of those are now fading
(though Torenberg has invested in a company called #ChatBCC that wants to commercialize the heady experience of sitting in on texts among the power elite).

Since Elon Musk turned X to the right
and an alternative media ecosystem emerged on Substack,
“a tremendous amount of the verboten conversations can now shift back into public view,” Andreessen told Fridman.

“It’s much healthier to live in a society in which people are literally not scared of what they’re saying.”

And Trump’s destabilizing “Liberation Day” has taken its toll on the coalition Andreessen helped shape.

You can see it on X,
where investors joke that they’ll put pronouns back in their bios in exchange for a return to the 2024 stock prices,
and where #Srinivasan has been a leading critic of Trump’s tariffs.

“Group chats have changed on the economy in the last few weeks,”
said #Rufo.
“There’s a big split on the tech right.”

The polarity of social media has also reversed,
and while participants used to keep their conservative ideas off social media,
“now the anti-Trump sentiment is what you’re afraid to say on X,” one said.

By mid-April, #Sacks had had enough with Chatham House:
“This group has become worthless since the loudest voices have TDS,”
he wrote, shorthanding
“Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Then he addressed Torenberg:
“You should create a new one with just smart people.”

Signal soon showed that three men had left the group:
The Sequoia partner #Shaun #Maguire,
the bitcoin billionaire #Tyler #Winklevoss, and #Tucker #Carlson.
