Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

We're all paying a huge price for the elevation of tech bros (signed: guy who's worked in tech for 25 years).
Made zero mistakes.
Anyhow, tech bros are evil in that they are reckless and, when told of potential consequences, their response is 'So?'or 'Nuhuh.' Then they deny any responsibility when the consequences arrive.
It's not even satire.
