Reposted by jadeFilippo Valsorda @filippo.abyssdomain.expert · 28/09/2026The thing that worries me most lately is that many people who know that “fascism is bad, actually” have also convinced themselves that AI tools must be eschewed as fake or impure. In a self-reinforcing loop, there is relatively little AI tooling and infra by “fascism is bad” folks. 825734
