They think they can personally profit from the initial roll out. They don't give a poo poo about the greater societal implications

e/acc is basically “let’s make up a philosophy so that we can feel better about doing what we were going to do anyway”

Isn’t “accelerationism” usually used to refer to the philosophy that we should let everything go to shot as fast as possible, so that after the world has burned down we can build a shining utopia from the ashes?

The e/acc sounds like theoretically it could be good, taking a bunch of drugs and taking absolute bullshitting with random people about philosophy and the future and what. But yeah there's no way it's not some mix of boring and annoying, filled entirely with a whole bunch of self serious idiots.

What seems interesting there is that there's an internal conflict amongst the worst nerds imaginable. On one side you have the dominant AI culture, a self-elected priesthood who intend to form a covenant with the imminent computer god, and on the other side are those guys, an anarchic, ecstatic doomsday cult.

Coworker Banned From Madison Square Garden Due to Facial Recognition…but it isn’t him (NY) (self.legaladvice)quote:I went to a hockey game last week with one of my coworkers at MSG in New York last week, and he was stopped and banned entry to the arena after the facial recognition scanner identified him as someone “that had thrown things into the ice during a game” some weeks back. Except, he was in Europe at the time, and he’s an older Asian male that would never do something like this.
