“Geeks” in this case aren’t the compulsively curious hackers but rather big money that realised that tech can be about deregulation, enshittification and looting in general. They’re as much geek as George W. Bush is a cowboy.
I think they’re geeks. They’re just money geeks not tech geeks. Some people obsessively study the flaws and loopholes in technology and become hackers. Some study the flaws and loopholes of the economy and become traders and financiers. The people amassing billions don’t even care about the money. It’s just a high score for them. Finding a way to twist the market into delivering high returns through financial wizardry has a lot of parallels to hacking. I would say most of Wall Street is full of geeks. It’s just money geeks not tech geeks.
