”Future’s already here. It’s just unevenly distributed”, Silicon Vallley thought.
”So if we want to get to the future quicker, what if we make it even more unevenly distributed?” they extrapolated.

I'm totally absorbed in "More Everything Forever" by @adambecker.bsky.social . It’s one of the best non-fiction books on technology I have ever read, exploring the cult-like ideologies of Silicon Valley that are disastrously shaping our future.

longtermists: Imagine telling an AI to maximize paperclip production, and then it converts the entire world into paperclips! It would be a disaster!
also longtermists: We must accelerate at all costs the process of converting the entire universe into barely-net-positive-value, digital post-humans!
yet also longtermists: The insatiable consumption needed to support the capitalist imperative for perpetual exponential economic growth on a finite planet? Yeah, that's good actually.
I thought this drawing did a pretty good job at consolidating the current situation with #AI into a single picture.

After reading the reasons why we couldn’t just turn off a malicious AI, I’m convinced the AI fans think we’re all NPCs. So many of the arguments come down to “it’ll be smarter, so it can convince the person not to.”
These people have obviously never tried convincing an adult to do something they don’t want to or dissuade them from an action they’re committed to. I’d say “we aren’t dogs,” but even getting a dog to do what you’d like is a massive undertaking.
FFS. It's #MoralPanic o'clock again on Morning Joe but now, instead of social media, Scarborough is in a swivet over AI, with his new partner VandeHei, who is swallowing Anthropic's pDoom BS whole. Google #TESCREAL, boys. You're being taken by a cult.

Silicon Valley's Scary New Cul...
All these IQ obsessed techbros and tescrealists, they don’t even get it.
IQ doesn’t predict the future. Culture predicts the future.
Your childhood predicts your adolescence. The narratives we tell our next generation, that’s what actually predicts the future.
But they look down on the humanities. Even though we’ve known this shit for centuries allready.

PS. But there are also those who know, but let the Silicon Valley fools be their tools.
🚨 Today in the Intro to the Ethics of AI lecture, I will talk about *AI and the State*:
🔹 Danger of emerging fascism;
🔹 ethical debate of probabilistic decision making in administration;
🔹 What is the Rule of Law and why should we protect it!?

NO! HUMAN PROGRESS REQUIRES LIBRARIES TO BE BURNED!!
PEOPLE GET IDEAS THAT ARE AGAINST AI FROM THERE, AND WE NEED TO BUILD AGI TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE!
Wow. The latest episode of Dystopia Now is incredibly packed with detail on transhumanist thought. It's wild. When #transhumanism became popular about 15-20 years ago I thought it had some interesting aspects but as it evolves into a foundation of wierd Silicon Valley religion, it's become quite bonkers. #TESCREAL Get it wherever you get your podcasts but here's one link. https://sites.libsyn.com/566555/transhumanism-and-capitalism-with-dr-alexander-thomas
