  1. 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.

    ‘They are REALLY, REALLY DUMB’ about some things: Gil Durán EXPOSES Silicon Valley oligarchs

    Silicon Valley was once viewed as a center-left stronghold where tech founders partnered with Democrats to push clean energy and digital innovation. But today, the world’s most powerful tech titans in many cases are bankrolling right-wing authoritarianism, promoting anti-democratic ideologies.

  8. #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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

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

  9. 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.

    (1/2)

    Alas, for this iteration of #Fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense:

    "Loosers' lives" are not worth keeping.
    "Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the #FilthyRich and the central "#ColonizeMars" goals...
