Over the last year since I've moved to SV, I've slowly more and more unironically wanted to become a startup founder not for the money, but just so I can exploit and lord over the tech bros here I hate them all so fucking much

    "Chinese intelligence" is the Silicon Valley liberal version of "woke mind virus"

    Ignoring blantant sinophobia, this is a shitty poll. It contradicts itself and expands the range to other companies.

    It seems like they really were fishing for the answer they wanted.

    SV is a strange place

    It's full of techbros, empty office spaces, and a forgettable light rail network that only stops at the aforementioned empty offices.

    Everyone here does fake work for doohickey corporations

    Everyone's a temp agent or a failson, nobody wins, and anyone not making 7993245 kromer a second is suffering.

    You can take my word for it I've been doing desktop support in and around this place for almost a decade.

    In this case Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon are obviously major threats to national security and should be banned from operating in the EU and USA.

    I thought tech bros were supposed to be intelligent. Why do so many of them prove to be dumbasses outside of their field?

      They're arrogant and overconfident as hell because they took a difficult major in uni and make tons of money. They look down on all other disciplines, especially non-STEM so because their "smarter" than everybody else, they just fill in all their gaps of knowledge with assumptions and never challenge their beliefs or intelligence

    I dont doubt that Chinese companies are stealing info from American tech companies, but who cares?

    Its like robbing the guy with the 2.3 million dollar house, who cares
