unconditional acceleration — think accelerationism but replace the traditional adherence on partisan political paradigms (seen in L/ACC and R/ACC) with a Landian (Nick Land from the CCRU) cyberpunk eschatological cult that employs ironic internet culture and an anti-Fordist faux-mythologization of 19th century literature & material relations à la alt-right.
There was an attempt to institutionalize the movement (outside of the twitter-sphere) through the likes of LD50[0] and Vince Garton's Urbanomic piece[1], but since their whole ideology is based around the principles of "anti-praxis" the entire thing is kind of just a big self-own imo.
Anyway, I find people like Alice Maz (who suckle themselves onto these fashionable but theoretically barren movements that fetishize an aesthetic in order to aggrandize their own narcissistic image[2]) kind of annoying. I don't doubt that Maz may make interesting observations about tech and cs, but I can't stand the constant alt-right posturing on her tl.
