„Selbstreflexion ist ein Rezept für Elend" — Elon Musk über Marc Andreessens Interview. Der Mann erfand Netscape, finanziert jetzt Trump, zitiert Faschisten-Manifeste und hält Eugenik für diskutabel. Claudia Zettel bei Golem zeichnet das Bild einer kulthaften Ideologie, die reale Macht beansprucht. #TechBros

Curtis Yarvin tourt durch Europa – vom Identitären-Umfeld in Wien bis zu Intellektuellentreffen in Elmau. Wie Claudia Zettel zeigt: Der antidemokratische Blogger liefert Tech-Milliardären wie Peter Thiel die Ideologie für „CEO-Monarchien“. Keine Wahlen, keine Mitbestimmung. Kein Randphänomen.

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.
Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.
Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

Tech companies seem to be running a cycle:
1. They don't realize how much they're relying on volunteer-maintained projects.
2. Something bad happens and they suddenly decide they need to support this critical infrastructure, often by hiring some people behind it and making its maintenance part of their dayjob.
3. They realize they could save money by exploiting volunteers to maintain these #OpenSource projects. They lay workers off or move them to other projects.
4. Go to 1.
Except now they're trying to replace workers with slop machines, deskill everyone and basically they're not only poisoning the well, but killing the whole water cycle. And they're realizing that they just gave the bad people a tool that can quickly find just how vulnerable their critical infrastructure is.
Really appreciate the long-term thinking there.
