I wrote about this in my old Substack...it's even more true now.

The more you get enmeshed in the actual power plays of tech--fundraises, M&A, deal-making--the more you realize that everyone more or less has some beef with everyone, there is no 'they' here conspiring to do anything, and it's just an ever-shifting set of cliques low-key warring against each other constantly.
Sub in almost every broad grouping--'tech', the Jews, whatever--and it's the same deal. There isn't a ghost of a chance they're conspiring to do anything...like ancient Greek city-states, they're constantly warring with each other, only pausing very occasionally when some common enemy like the Persians show up, and then going right back to the constant scheming and battling.
It's white-pilling in a way: there's no big society-wide scheme going on. It's also black-pilling: there's no Protocols of the Elders of AI (or ads, or anything else) going on either. Nobody is fully in control, it's just constant struggle, war as the organizational force to society just like Hegel wrote (with literal war now proxied via capitalism). Until the senior tier dies and is replaced by the up-and-comers and the cycle restarts, forever. The end.
