It's tempting to believe that tech billionaires’ embrace of Donald Trump and the far right is a sudden rupture with the usual political ideology of Silicon Valley .

But there wasn’t a sudden shift in the politics of tech it was a homecoming, writes Andrew Keen .

Keen: The fundamental ideology underpinning Silicon Valley’s culture of venture capitalists and CEOs has always had a far-right libertarian core.

In a recent survey of AI researchers, 76% said that neural networks, the general architecture that underlies nearly all advanced AI , are fundamentally unsuitable for creating AGI’ This unquestioned faith in AGI is linked to a broader myth about the future of technology in general.

The tech oligarchs are confident that their godhead will arrive and deliver us to paradise, writes Adam Becker .
