Shorter version: "#accelerationist philos[o]phy is incoherent and sophomorically shallow."
"Many effective accelerationists believe that powerful, unrestricted AI can solve fundamental human development challenges such as poverty, war, and climate change. However, these viewpoints are driving policies that directly contradict community needs. Although policy-makers create legal provisions to increase chip production, expand data center development, and promote AI adoption, for example, they often systematically ignore the social foundations that support human flourishing, such as robust health care systems, accessible housing, reliable infrastructure, and quality education. A recent policy roadmap drafted by the Trump administration to “achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance”—alongside plans to cut housing assistance, reduce health care spending, and suspend foreign aid funding—exemplifies the prioritization of geopolitical interests over social welfare."
