Tech Bros Sprinting Toward the Robot Apocalypse With Their Pants Down
Description:
A scathing takedown of Silicon Valley's e/acc movement and the techno-religious acolytes worshipping at the altar of AI progress. When did "make Skynet happen faster" become a respectable position?
Spice Index: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️These e/acc bros mistake moving fast for moving smart—like thinking your DoorDash driver deserves a Nobel Prize for running red lights. Their "someone's gonna build Skynet anyway" logic is playground-level fatalism. Because apparently, humanity deciding NOT to create its replacement is just too radical a concept for the Stanford dropout with "disruption" tattooed on his soul. Silicon Valley: where "apocalypse" is just another growth opportunity.
