Das sechsteilige Feature "Tech Bro Topia" über die Ideologien der Tech-Milliardäre (von Musk bis Andreessen, vom Longtermism bis zum #eacc) ist nun online. Es war eine Freude, dabei zu sein – vielen Dank für die Einladung: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/tech-bro-topia-f1-mit-der-roten-pille-zur-macht-100.html

It's amazing to me that both the secular and evangelical cults within MAGA are apocalyptic in nature, with their own versions of "the rapture". For TESCREALists, it's the singularity. For Evangelicals, it's disappearing into the ether to "meet with Jesus"

#eacc #transhumanism #longtermism... Never mind them. There is only one reality, and it's the one in which the first #AI/ AGi we need to deploy is NOT #ArtificialIntelligence :

So as far as I can tell, e/acc ( #eacc I guess, "Effective Acceleration") which is the latest techbro idea, is that since we use resources to do things, some of which are desirable, it's a MORAL IMPERATIVE to use resources as quickly as possible. Thus hastening the heat death of the universe, when all possible resources have been converted to "utility", and everything is just a sea of featureless thermodynamic equilibrium without thought or life.

Great, billionaires in a suicide cult. 🤪

Tech billionaires seem to think they’re some of the most persecuted people in the world because they’re no longer being endlessly praised, and they’re turning to faith to keep people on side.

Earlier this month, I broke down the techno-optimism cult.

My 2024 resolution is to write thoughts/news reviews on #AI and #digitalrights weekly.

"Being able to say to yourself, “it wasn’t me, it was the inevitable trajectory of History toward the Singularity! I’m just a powerless cog in a bigger machine that I can’t stop.” is a great way to avoid responsibility for your actions. Especially when your comparatively humongous profits depend on it– profits which get bigger while shrinking everyone else’s."

‘Effective Accelerationism’ and the Pursuit of Cosmic Utopia
How an arcane philosophical rift in Silicon Valley is shaping the race to build artificial general intelligence.

How can anyone read this quote and still take AI accelerationists seriously?

"Critics have pointed to the fact that some of e/acc’s leaders, including Mr. Verdon, seem to actually agree with the Effective Altruists that a rogue A.I. could wipe out humanity, but aren’t bothered by the idea, since superhuman A.I. could represent a logical next step in evolution."

Where are you on the #AI compass?

Fully subscribed to @pluralistic's closing remark about the deceitful and futile religion war between the #effective_altruism church and the #eacc cult, both profiting from a ridiculous #AI mysticism and "treating humans as things" (present time, meat and bone humans at least):
"It's because I'm a materialist that my primary concerns about AI are things like the climate impact of AI data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems – not science fiction-inspired, self-induced panics over the human race being enslaved by our robot overlords."

Today is my last day lecturing in the #AI class so I made a tunic from imagined redacted government documents about alien invasions, along with my data pants and the fire shawl I've been knitting for the last month. #OpenAI drama, #EA / #EAcc, org models, human relationships, and all that jazz! #DHsewing

“Open Philanthropy’s expanding web of AI influence stems from its long-running effort to steer Washington toward rules that address long-term catastrophic risks … Its apocalyptic focus is reinforced by the group’s alignment with #effectivealtruism”
#eacc need to start funding fellows as well

Shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you.

This is what they stole from us, in the name of safety.

Towards a nuclear future.

Onwards.

"No amount of eco-terrorism will convince people that growth is bad, because it isn't. Without the tools to correct errors that, to the naive mind, look evil and unsustainable, we would be static. We would become the thing we sought to destroy." -Angantýr (@BasedNorthmathr)

Ich brauche mal wieder eure Hilfe: es gibt diese schräge neue Bewegung rund um „effective accelerationism“. Wen sollte ich dazu interviewen? Sind euch Leute begegnet, die das klug kommentiert/eingeordnet haben? #eacc

What are your thoughts on e/acc?
