The tech oligarchs and their AI are taking over. Let's fight back. Alright, I’m really doing this thing. Support Blood in the Machine and fearless independent tech journalism.

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier.

Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.
