#tescreal — Public Fediverse posts

@davidgerard you're the sort of hero social media needs, but only the #fediverse deserves.

Two more chuds for the bot ban bin. The answer was anyone who affiliates with the #tescreal movement. Not complicated.

This by Cal Newport is very good, though I wish it would cite work on #TESCREAL (Google it) & its eugenicist roots. *That* is how scary crazy the AI boys are. It's not the technology; it's the technologists.

@alineblankertz

Seems nothing was learnt (or the realisation dawns so slowly that lots if damage is done first) from what grew in academia and then expanded into common delusion and The Holocaust when the elite began funding scientific investigations into eugenics.

#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm

I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.

Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

Schade, daß #YKollektiv-Reporter #LukasWiehler nur Männer (ausnahmslos totale Arschlöcher) von #Próspera interviewt hat. Haben Frauen da nichts zu sagen? Es kommen aber zwei Frauen aus dem kolonisierten Nachbardorf zu Wort. Die einzigen Sympathieträger der #Reportage.

Uff, #NachrichtenOderSatire: Es läuft eh schon einiges schief im (inter-)nationalen Funktionärs​#sport, but, lo and behold: here come the really BIG assholes und investieren Unsummen in eine Art Doping-Olympiade:

Die Enhanced Games™ 🤡

Das passt gut in ihre transhumanistische #SiliconValley-#Ideologie und es gelten nur ihre Bully-Spielregeln des Techkapitalismus.

Dass #Doping eine Straftat ist: Who cares. Aus dem Weg, #AntiDoping-Behörden!

Merci auch von mir :)
@kubikpixel @werawelt

Da W #Harari erwähnte: Er ist Anhänger der #Kybernetik

Kein Gegner

Es ist extrem bedeutsam, sich mit den #Ideologien hinter der #Digitalisierung zu befassen.

Anstrengend, aber notwendig

En: Thank you, @kubikpixel & @werawelt !

Because Wera mentioned Harari: he, too, is a follower of #cybernetics
Not someone in opposition to it

It's very important to get to know #ideologies behind #digitalization

Am 06.06.205 treffen wir uns wieder - diesmal zusammen mit der Fachgruppe #Ethik der #GI - IRL in #Berlin & #online für alle, die es nicht in Persona zum Treffen schaffen.

Es freut uns, euch mitteilen zu können, dass Max Schnetker, der an der Uni Bonn zum Thema #Longertermismus promoviert, zu uns kommen wird. Seine #Forschung betrachtet unser Jahresthema digitaler #Autoritarismus aus einer für uns interessanten Perspektive.

Infos zum Referenten:

Max Franz Johann Schnetker promoviert an der Uni Bonn über den Zusammenhang von digitalem #Kapitalismus, #Technologien wie künstlicher Intelligenz und neuen #Ideologien wie #Transhumanismus. Man erreicht ihn auf #Mastodon unter @MSchnetker

Zur Vorbereitung unseres Treffens empfehlen seinen Vortrag vom #38C3 https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-longtermismus-der-geist-des-digitalen-kapitalismus und den #TESCREAL Artikel von @xriskology auf #truthdig https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-acronym-behind-our-wildest-ai-dreams-and-nightmares/

Weiterhin begleitet uns der Text #Urfacism von #UmbertoEco

#ElonMusk's motivation

(1/2)

"Elon is dying to do this...

It makes me wonder why...
Does he want to get even more power?"

-》 I think at this point, I should point you to the dangerous family of sects (#TESCREAL) #Musk belongs to with his #Longtermism:

#Transhumanism, #Extropianism,
#Singularitarianism, #Cosmism,
#Rationalism,
#EffectiveAltruism, and #Longtermism.

You will even find your 2nd "billionaire friend, #PeterThiel...

The Future of Humanity Institute has shutdown, seemingly without notice or warning.

😂 LOL

Home to Nick Bostrom, Toby Ord, and other Billionares favoured right wing, liberal Philosphers for hire. e.g. Musk was a huge fan.

I can't wait to hear why the Oxford Faculty of Philosophy shut them down.

It can't be funding - FHI received the faculties largest ever donation in 2018 of £13 million GBP, with promises of more.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell

My point.

The bad thing is, I would actually agree with the systemic descriptions and the connotations of #TechnoFeudalism. If you factor in the #TESCREAL dimension of #Elmo and the #PayPalMafia et al, you even gave the medieval "beliefs" dimension. And no-one will argue that if you receive millions of dollars of seed capital, you owe your #liege aka #VC #fealty. And, yes they collect rent, and yes, they either inherited the "rights" or acquired them, charging rent.

"...

#TESCREAL

All pretty unwieldy and #racist concepts by themselves, it gets even more complicated when they merge.

Scientists Discover Crocodile Virgin Birth

Reptile reproduction suggests tht dinosaurs & pterosaurs may hve been capable of parthenogenesis too, much like Jurassic Park creatures.

& yet #NickBostrom, #ElonMusk, all #TESCREAL believers have us running dn the malign #AI #rabbithole. #Billionaires all in on #eugenics as the only 'pursuit' worth investing in.

These guys are arrogant, myopic & worst of all spend'g their $$$ in a way that compromises us all. #StoptheArrogance #ExistenialRiskmyAss

#TESCREAL, coined by Timnit Gebru and Émile Torres, stands for #Transhumanism, #Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, #Rationalism, Effective Altruism, and #Longtermism.
