- allears 4y agoThe author is a bit nitpicky in bringing up errors, but he's right on when talking about a tech-bro worldview. It's no accident that Musk, Zuckerberg, et. al. lionize this guy. He preaches a world where the algorithm is supreme, AI is just around the corner and an existential threat, and the nuances of actual reality as studied by scientists can be reduced to a few pithy sentences. It's a reductionist philosophy that sells well but doesn't really do justice to the complexities all around us.
