cephaloform · x · 2026-11-13
In an exchange with @zetalyrae, @ueaj argues that people who want to lock humanity into a perpetual hamster wheel because they have no meaning in life outside of status are "unensouled, terrible people" — and that far too many of them hold influence in AI. They "should be shunned from society."
A heated representative moment in the ongoing AGI roadmap debate, voicing moral condemnation of accelerationists' motives.
