for those tracking John Carmack's descent into right wing total moral disorientation, he's now at "Palmer Luckey should buy Wired and do to it what Elon Musk did to Twitter".
he's full fash at this point. totally gonna deliver AGI by 2030 though.
increasingly disgusting that he named his shitass company after Commander Keen, a joyful little video game from before he became a millionaire and was empowered to become his worst self.

from March 28-30th 2026, Palmer Luckey is quoting a WIRED post about a story it ran. WIRED: "Like Trae said, we spoke to 37 former and current Anduril workers, in addition to investors, experts, and former military officials, for this deeply reported story, which you should read: https://www.wired.com/story/andurils-real-war-is-with-itself " Luckey: "This 'deeply reported' piece from WIRED is inexcusably bad. First, it is just wrong. Not nitpicky things, fundamentally false jabs and premises. Second, it completely ignores the stakes of supporting active troops to push r/antiwork softboy talking points. Examples below." John Carmack responds to Lucky: "It would be delightful if you pulled an [Elon Musk], bought WIRED, and changed the editorial tone to Technological Triumphalism. Then maybe do MIT Technology Review."
