I dunno, sometimes I wonder wha the point of all this progress is. what’s the point? What are we racing towards? At the end of all of this is death.

There are other philosophies and ways of living in the world and it feels like we’re abandoning them all for progress accelerationism. Even if that progress leads to our extinction

And I get a lot of use out of AI! But philosophically I would give it up in a heartbeat.

We don’t actually seem to have a coherent philosophy of what we’re doing here. So build AI to automate all the things, and then what? What happened to our ability to dream and make manifest a better life for ourselves?
