"With a rasp of frustration, Mr. Page insisted his utopia should be pursued. Finally he called Mr. Musk a “specieist,” a person who favors humans over the digital life-forms of the future."
This, and Marc Andreessen recently generating this drivel:
"Effective accelerationism aims to follow the 'will of the universe': leaning into the thermodynamic bias towards futures with greater and smarter civilizations that are more effective at finding/extracting free energy from the universe," and "E/acc has no particular allegiance to the biological substrate for intelligence and life, in contrast to transhumanism."
Maybe I should be taking some of their micro-doses in order to understand all of this and, correct me if I am wrong, but they are basically saying "robots can make a better civilization, so if they come up with efficient ways of disposing of the human biomass in the name of progress, let them build a better world."
Hitler much?
These people are nuts.
- tim333 3y agoAt least Musk is standing up for the humans.
- renegade-otter 3y agoSure, but Musk is not the person I will trust with a principled stance on anything - except what concerns his own ego. A selfless defender of humanity? Hmm.
