B.A. ParkerHOST
Little bleep.
B.A. ParkerHOST
I mean, Tech Bro's going to bro for sure.
B.A. ParkerHOST
But I think the thing that bothers me about all this, amongst other things, is that there's such a value given to certain kinds of intelligence.
Angela SainiGUEST
Silicon Valley is obsessed with this idea of intelligence, that this is a quantity that we can measure, and it is all about your mathematical and analytical skills.
Bill WeinbergHOST
in which ultimately space travel, and especially the notion of humanity's infinite expansion into space and colonization of other planets, space imperialism as we call it, is rightly rejected as hubris.
Bill WeinbergHOST
And in the final entry, that hideous strength, an organization of fascist tech bros with this vision not only of space imperialism, but transhumanism, transforming the human race into controlled human-machine hybrids, attempt to take over the British government as a first step toward world domination.
Bill WeinbergHOST
Of course, some 80 years after he wrote it, exactly this is now happening here in the US with the acquiescence of the Trump regime.
Bill WeinbergHOST
And in the book, it is revealed, of course, that this technocratic organization called the National Institute for Coordinated Experiments, the NICE, is in touch with and being guided by devils.

Bill WeinbergHOST
Now, this obviously reflects the period it was written in, that of Hitler and Stalin.
Bill WeinbergHOST
To a certain extent, you can argue that it is less relevant to our post-ideological world, but the world is again becoming more ideological, I submit.
Bill WeinbergHOST
Trump's brand of fascism is more crude and visceral than the classical ideological fascism as it existed between 1922 and 1945, but the people behind Trump, the tech bros around Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin are, in fact, ideological.
Bill WeinbergHOST
We will return to them shortly.
James ChandlerHOST
We would have an orange juice, bless him.
James ChandlerHOST
There isn't an overwhelming, apart from Elon, there isn't this sort of overwhelming, you know, silver back in the jungle type vibe with the tech bros. They're not that era.
James ChandlerHOST
They're not those blokes.
James ChandlerHOST
Not good, solid blokes of old
8 MINS LATER
James ChandlerHOST
Musk.
James ChandlerHOST
Maybe.
James ChandlerHOST
I just look at Dario, you know, with all those tech bros with Trump, and he was the most uncomfortable.
James ChandlerHOST
You know, he didn't really want to be there.
Billy Ray ValentineHOST
JD Vance is actually smart.
AshleyGUEST
Yeah, and he's very well connected with the Tech Bros.
AshleyGUEST
We know that.
AshleyGUEST
And the Curtis Jarvins, exactly.
AshleyGUEST
And this is something that No. 6 and I are going to maybe delve into a little bit more.
AshleyGUEST
And we've talked about it here.
AshleyGUEST
The UFC... political network but it also bleeds into the tech bros and then um you know you and i had talked about on when you came on my show last time prospera and what's happening down there and all the implications for that so it's a really fascinating topic but yeah i think these people are dangerous and jd vance is very much part of
Billy Ray ValentineHOST
that and i think you know I think sometimes it's underestimated because it's like it's just a continuation of the big conspiracy.
Robbie LulaHOST
Most hedge fund managers don't wear suits.
Robbie LulaHOST
They wear, like, the tech bro vest that I was wearing yesterday.
Robbie LulaHOST
Like, I was sort of wearing the hedge fund manager
Austin JacobsenHOST
outfit yesterday.
Robbie LulaHOST
looks like a private equity guy, maybe, where he's just running around doing crazy stuff.
Robbie LulaHOST
Like, yeah.
Robbie LulaHOST
Yeah, if you're thinking Wolf of Wall Street, think more like Tech Bro.
Austin JacobsenHOST
Okay.
MJHOST
All right.
MJHOST
Are you ready for today's tech bro story?
FesterHOST
Not us.
FesterHOST
Are you ready?
MJHOST
Do, do you... [laughs] Okay.
FesterHOST
Are you ready?
MJHOST
Uh, what is, what is a tech bro? Why don't you tell me, smart guy? Hey, uh, hey, tough ass.
MJHOST
What, what is a-
Ciaran FrancoGUEST
Yeah, the bro, what are they called, the bro apocalypse or the...
RuairíHOST
Oh, well, I was just thinking of, well, there's the Manosphere and then Tech Bros.
RuairíHOST
The Tech Bros,
Ciaran FrancoGUEST
yeah.
Ciaran FrancoGUEST
Like, I just need to stop reading stuff on them and then I go down the article.
CarlottaHOST
Die Studie von AI Forensics hat gezeigt, dass das natürlich alles keine Einzelfälle sind, sondern dass die Betroffenenperspektiven und die Fälle im Zusammenhang mit Grok nur das Ausmaß eines neuen Systems von digitaler sexualisierter Gewalt markieren.
CarlottaHOST
Warum handelt es sich hierbei nicht um Einzelfälle? Inwiefern sind KI-Technologien vergeschlechtlicht? Welche Rolle spielen die Ideologien der sogenannten Tech Bros und die der Manosphere? Und was hat das alles eigentlich mit dem neuen Faschismus zu tun? Um mich diesen Fragen anzunähern, habe ich ein Interview mit Josef Bahler geführt.
CarlottaHOST
Josef Bahler hat an der Universität Wien Soziologie studiert und in Philosophie promoviert.
CarlottaHOST
Heute ist er wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Schwerpunkt Biotechnologie, Natur und Gesellschaft an der Goethe-Uni hier in Frankfurt.

Joseph BarlaGUEST
Ähm, nee, also es ist eine superwichtige Frage.
Joseph BarlaGUEST
Ich, ähm, kann auch gar nicht sagen, ob ich da zufriedenstellende, äh, Antworten drauf habe.
Joseph BarlaGUEST
Ich mein, ganz grundsätzlich und das sind, das sind jetzt auch nicht meine, meine, meine Erkenntnisse oder so, gibt es ja, es gibt ja sehr viele Arbeiten, die schon zeigen, dass Musk und, ähm, diese Tech Bros ein super misogyenes Weltbild haben.
Joseph BarlaGUEST
Also ich mein, ähm, Douglas Rushkoff macht das zum Beispiel, der jetzt nicht unbedingt der spannendste oder kritischste Theoretiker ist, der auch, ähm, in seinem Buch, ähm, Survive of the Richest, ähm, so darstellt, wie eben diese Leute, also was, was sie sozusagen von, von, von Frauen denken und wie sie auch ihre eigene Rolle als, als, als, ähm, männliche Erfinder sehen, so.
Jiang XueqinHOST
And so now there's a counter elite.
Jiang XueqinHOST
Okay? And these are AI companies, the oligarchs, okay? The tech bros, AI companies.
Jiang XueqinHOST
Okay? And so for them to win out, they must steal the power to print money from the bankers.
Jiang XueqinHOST
And how do they do that? Through a mechanism called digital currency and digital ID.
30 MINS LATER
Jiang XueqinHOST
Okay? So, um, there's, there's a struggle, um, amongst these companies to wrest the power of digital infrastructure away from the nation state to themselves.
Jiang XueqinHOST
Okay? All right.
Jiang XueqinHOST
So a, so a, a very, um, interesting trend is you have, like, these tech bros, like Peter Thiel.
Jiang XueqinHOST
They talk, they t- talk about the idea of a network state.
Travis ClyburnHOST
A neurologist or a evolutionary biologist would laugh at your fucking face for saying something like this.
Travis ClyburnHOST
I think we've birthed a generation of tech bros who think that they're actually these Hollywood geniuses that don't exist, that know everything about everything.
Travis ClyburnHOST
Those people aren't real.
Travis ClyburnHOST
That's why they're specialists in fields.
Travis ClyburnHOST
Like, I know everything about tech, therefore I know everything about everything.
Travis ClyburnHOST
yeah and they do they say stupid like this
Michael RegilioHOST
well i mean i've got more to say on that but i'm gonna let it slide but uh yeah the tech bros are a problem speaking of the tech bros did you know this trump has offered another exclusive dinner to his biggest crypto investors can you believe this right before the midterms
Travis ClyburnHOST
