When did silicon valley get so... evil? Or was it always this way?
>>110232852early to mid 2010s, nobody cared about consumer electronics. once social media came about though, the ruling class discovered it could be used against peopleai is all of that on steroids
>>110232852Yeah it always was
>>110232852Life itself is evil you fag. Every day millions of animals are being torn to shreds. Humans have raped, murdered, and tortured for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s all one big cutthroat competition.
>>110232929Desperately trying to rationalize being a piece of shit that can't conform to societal and legal expectations to not be a piece of shit.
>>110232852It's always been Eugenists chuds since William Shockley
>>110232929you're right, I should totally just rape and rob as long as I don't get caught, thats juts the way the world is
Pretty much always, maybe you could make a case berkely and bell labs weren't entirely run by an evil disdain for humanity but once jobs and gates got involved it's been pure evil.

>>110232895pretty much this
>>110232852>nerds>mercilessly bullied at school>never got any pussy>become evil when given powerWho could've predicted this?
>>110232852Yeah tho they crawled out of basements where most of IT was during the 90's and 00's out into the light where you can now see them.
>>110234045Interesting thing how no amount of money and power can ever make them cool.
>>110232852It's not just the tech industry, you need to be a diagnosed psychopath to become successful in any industry. It's just that the tech industry got their time to shine this time around. Oil, Weapons, food chain, mining, manufacturing, they're all lead by basket cases.
>>110232852When the original hacker ethos almost completely died sometime after the turn of the millennium or so.
>>1102328521980 when CONTU forced software copyright and installed Reagan for 8 years so that no one would repeal it.>Killed computer software as a hobby>Encouraged consolidation of software companies>Enabled exploitative licenses that force you to give up your rights>Enabled enterprise and education licensing schemes>Enabled companies to just buy out their competition>Allowed for the insertion of spyware and DRM>Made sure that the winner would always be whoever has the most money on hand to afford legal feesLook at these smug fucks.
>>110232852When the government realized they could use the leverage of Facebook to circumvent protections of the constitution and spread paranoia.
>>110232852Tech dudes were stabbing each other back at least as early as the mid to late 70s, and by the 80s they were having full blown corporate wars.Yes, its always been this way, its just way more blatant now.
Bill Gates used to be one of the most ruthless businessmen in America. Zero hesitation in committing crimes to destroy his competition.
>>110232852power corrupts, a few losers on a BBS nobody cares for, billions of people glued to it 24/7 that's absolute power
Funny.When the normgroid was living it up with ironic mustache tattoos, lumberjack fashion and stomp clap hey in their super cool party colleges, they didn't really care about tech. Now that they're all in debt and they have to pay for their decade+ of party, they look at the nerds going to state schools or grindmaxing with zero pussy until the Jeetas and Changs gave us some, and we are "evil" for being successful.Not my problem. The normie is the actual evil one, and they don't want to even consider or think about anything besides themselves having fun and being on top. To them, not being on top means you're evil somehow. Do not give them any empathy or thought, they've always given none and will continue giving you none while crying and stomping for it.
>>110236329He probably still is, the difference is that now he cares about his image and grooms it.>>110232852>When did silicon valley get so... evil?There was always great evil but patches of goodness. Now evil has taken over everything. Google succumbed to evil, Carly Fiorina evilized HP, FB was stealth evil from day one and so on.
>>110234045As opposed to financejews and MBAs who were evil from the start?
Watch The Pirates of Silicon Valley, then tell me what you think.
>>110236417fakest larp ever.
>>110232852somewhere from 2013 - 2015
>>110232929If anyone here is a faggot it's the stupid edgelord that thinks he's being profound with some trite bullshit about how we're all animals. Thanks for the insight Tyler Durden, we all think you're super cool
>evilapple literally provides you with almost perfect products that are easy to use, have tons of ecosystem support, and don't require you to smash your head against the wall trying to troubleshoot. They don't sell your data or rape you with monthly subscriptions.How's that evil? because they charge you a premium upfront?
>>110235745it's funny that even with his brand image makeover, his eyes still look inhuman
>>110232852People were always trying to find ways to be rich. Look at what they did to the Native Americans. While white people were slaughtering them, they justified it with religion.
>>110232895>early to mid 2010s, nobody cared about consumer electronics. Yeah, no one cared about iPods or iMacs or Nokia phones.
>>110238514>rape you with monthly subscriptionsApple Services are exactly that
>>110238552Correct. Just like no one cares about the Walkman after the fad faded.
>>110232852It is the billionaire class that are evil not silicon valley.
