  1. This is a brilliant video by Adam Neely on #GenerativeAI in #music, that takes a sharp turn (somewhat expectedly) towards an analysis of the machinations of #TechnoOptimism, #EffectiveAccelerationism, and their undeniable connection to #Fascism. It is a long one and has a high information density but it is one of the best video essays I've seen in quite a while. If you care about music and the arts — or just knowing you fascist enemy: this one is for you.

  6. anyone who considers themself an “effective accelerationist” is by definition a deeply unsophisticated ecologist, to a point of willful ignorance.

    Spot on, it's just rich people justifying their wealth, Objectivism for the 21st Century.

  8. #AI #OpenAI #AGI #EffectiveAltruism #EffectiveAccelerationism: "This "AI debate" is pretty stupid, proceeding as it does from the foregone conclusion that adding compute power and data to the next-word-predictor program will eventually create a conscious being, which will then inevitably become a superbeing. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding faster and faster horses, we'll get a locomotive:"

  9. Last week's spectacular #OpenAI soap-opera hijacked the attention of millions of normal, productive people and nonsensually crammed them full of the fine details of the debate between #EffectiveAltruism (#doomers) and #EffectiveAccelerationism (AKA e/acc), a genuinely absurd debate that was allegedly at the center of the drama.

  10. Effective accelerationism has found an ally in Marc Andreessen, but his recent manifesto exposes that he just wants to go back to the old days when tech founders were uncritically revered, and when obstacles between him and staggering profits were nearly nonexistent.

  11. Both effective altruism and effective accelerationism embrace as a given the idea of a super-powerful artificial general intelligence being just around the corner, an assumption that leaves little room for discussion of the many ways that AI is harming real people today.

  12. The "effective altruism" and "effective accelerationism" ideologies that have been cropping up in AI debates are just a thin veneer over the typical blend of Silicon Valley techno-utopianism, inflated egos, and greed. Let's try something else.

  13. I will say this for X/Twitter - in the brief time I spent looking up reactions to the #TechnoOptimism BS, I learned about multiple terms and “movements” that I missed here, like #EffectiveAccelerationism. That could just mean I need to monitor other topical instances more regularly…

    And, for better or worse, it is still the place for detailed instant updates on ongoing events (like Israel ravaging Gaza). But the tone/vibe difference is just so pronounced.

    But it doesn’t feel the same anymore.

  14. Seeing all the #effectiveaccelerationism bros push the hype on #LK99 makes me quite skeptical on the actual superconducting properties. Fun story to follow though
