this is because the technocrats are allowed to steal from you, but when you steal from them what they've stolen from actual researchers that's a problem

There are no technocrats. Just oligarchs, that titan newer industries. Same as the old boss. Don't give them more credit than that. It's evil capitalism. Lump them with bankers, not UX designers imho

In what context would a UI/UX be considered a texhnocrat? I’m very confused

[–] blazeknave 8 points 11 months ago

You're not confused, you're getting the point. Musk has more in common with Jamie Diamond than the tech workers with which he's lumped by industry.

It's not a tech people/company problem. They're just like accounts, they don't own the enterprise.
