Etymology Nerd has a really good point about accelerationists, connects them to religion
there is now a video on SciShow about it too.
This perception of AI as a competent agent that is inching ever so closer to godhood is honestly gaining way too much traction for my tastes. There's a guy in the comments of Hank's first video, I checked his channel and he has a video "We Are Not Ready for Superintelligence" and it got whopping 8 million views! There's another channel I follow for sneers and their video on Scott's AI 2027 paper has 3.7 and million views and a video about AI "attempted murder" has 8.5 million. Damn.
I wonder when the market finally realises that AI is not actually smart and is not bringing any profits, and subsequently the bubble bursts, will it change this perception and in what direction? I would wager that crashing the US economy will give a big incentive to change it but will it be enough?
I did not know how much right-wing media is outrage-farming wikipedia. With AI slop invasion, UK Safety Act nonsense and US government probing I'm getting worried
