Most "value engineering" in building is a lie: it saves pennies upfront and guarantees decay within decades. Real long-term value is inseparable from durability, adaptability, and the dignity of the people who will live with the results. #architecture #longtermism #designthinking

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.

Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.

Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

Wobei das "tool"(S.Bannon) wohl bald nicht mehr nützlich/nutzbar sein dürfte, angesichts des immer offensichtlicher werdenden psychischen und physischen Abbaus.
Ein erfolgreicher Anschlag auf Trump (mit anschliessender Verklärung ala Kirk) dürfte dem #project2025 bei solchen Überlegungen logischer erscheinen.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116136370851019617

Here is a very disturbing article on #longtermism. It made me realize my main problem with the argument - adding to the monstrosity of the idea itself.

„Longtermism is […], which asserts that there could be so many digital people living in vast computer simulations millions or billions of years in the future that one of our most important moral obligations today is to take actions that ensure as many of these digital people come into existence as possible.“

I was in a discussion a few days ago about #tescreal, when this image from a #longtermism essay was posted. Somehow, it was being used as an argument for environmental despoliation and whatever billionaires, oligarchs and techbros wanna do because(missing middle), and the rights of these future masses to exist outweighs the rights of anybody in the present. Of course, these are people who don’t exist and thus don’t have a voice to override the Peter Thiels of today. Also… that missing middle.

I don't agree with all of this -- I **generally** don't usually fully agree with @taylorlorenz -- but this is a good high-level summary. Worth watching. (Or listening to, the visuals aren't central!)

Longtermism ideas are constantly being laundered by reputable science youtubers.

On their own those ideas would rightfully freak any of us, that's why the constant pandering and watering down in new formats, easily digestible for mainstream audiences.

Longtermism is the closest thing to a modern day satanic cult. Many countries around the world ban dangerous cults. It's time to start raiding the tescrealist compounds.

"In evangelizing for their view, longtermist luminaries have propagated numerous lies about their ideology and/or community. For example, folks like MacAskill intentionally deceived people (see this article of mine for details) by perpetuating the falsehood that Sam Bankman-Fried — perhaps the most famous longtermist in the world — lived a modest life, when in fact he flew on private jets, lived in a “$35 million crypto frat house,” and owned some $300 million in Bahamian real estate. Pfff.

Because many longtermists, including MacAskill, are basically utilitarians, they don’t believe there’s anything intrinsically wrong with acts like lying — or fraud. If the outcome of spreading lies is overall good, then it would be morally wrong to not lie. Hence, do not trust anything that longtermists tell you about their worldview or community, as moral integrity is not — with history as our witness — something they care much about.

Here are three other insidious lies they’ve spread about their worldview. To my knowledge, this is the first time that anyone has called out such falsehoods:"

@HG
"Preserve the light of consciousness" is just #Longtermism, a confused and repugnant 'ethical theory' turned into a pseudo-religion.

#TESCREAL nonsense where individual people have no intrinsic value but are just (contingent) vehicles for conscious states like pleasure and pain.
