don't use the equality (==) operator, use strict equality instead (===)

crypto bros === AI bros

They're all avatars of nvidia which themselves
are avatar of TSMC and the silicon chip
manufacturing industry. There are underlying
technological current are driving cultural movement ...
Oh no "Culture is downstream from technology"
that is the most cyberpunk thing I've ever heard

CULTURE IS DOWNSTREAM FROM TECHNOLOGY

I couldn't find it, but there's a moment where

spoilerCory Doctorow discusses how underlying technology
manufacturer end up controlling their downstream
consumer application of the technology in a
kind of "balance of power" of technology

I can't find this passage at the moment,
I thought it was in the "war on general computing" speech,
but I can't find it, I thought it was especially insightful

In anycase there are the following links

And the unfortunate part is that crypto and LLMs are cool tech, but the bros completely ruin them.
