marc andressen followed me on twitter for a few months and then immediately after unfollowing me started doing the bullshit he's currently doing, so i take full credit for the psychotic break he's clearly been in the middle of for the past year or so
maybe i just wasn't plugged into exactly how bad he was at the time
from my perspective it was like "oh, rich techbro vc is following me -- better start commieposting extra hard" and then as soon as he unfollowed i started seeing articles in major newspapers about how he was embracing landian right-accelerationism
@enkiv2 it feels a year or two anyway when all these billionaires started going from their usual cringy ideas to embracing far right fringe ideologies.
i didn't do it on purpose (though i was trying to post shit that pissed him off so he'd unfollow me), and i'm on the fence about whether or not to regret it.
he seems to be crashing his carefully-built-up cache of PR goodwill, which will probably eventually also remove some of his power over decision-making, which might be a good thing in the long run. but there's a lot of bullshit happening in the meantime. some of that bullshit is entertaining. i'm not sure how much is harmful.
