#LongTermism
it's pretty funny that the end result of longtermism is the wholesale destruction of scientific progress

absolutely nothing discredits “longtermism” more than how much of these freaks are only belatedly realizing how much of a mistake it was to bandwagon with Trump
the rats! the ship! the water, rising!
curtis yarvin seems somewhat unhappy

Die Philosophie der Silicon-Valley-Tech-Bros: Longtermism. Eigentlich klingt das gut, sich über die langfristige Zukunft der Menschheit Gedanken zu machen. Doch dahinter verbirgt sich eine menschenverachtende Ideologie: futurezone.at/meinung/long...

For those just discovering Effective Altruism (EA), know that when journalists, etc. talk about EA in the context of Silicon Valley, they're talking about *longtermism*.

And as I argued back in 2021, longtermism is a profoundly dangerous ideology: aeon.co/essays/why-l...

It started as a fringe philosophical theory about humanity’s future. It’s now richly funded and increasingly dangerous

“Longtermism”
We’re eliminating programs that save millions of people from disease

And ending a lot of research that has cured diseases and will cure more

Because we need to funnel resources into AI

Because someday it may be able to figure out cures for disease

Do I have that right?

Ah, that's just the Cosmism and Longtermism of TESCREAL creeping in to their beliefs.

They literally made Grok do longtermism
I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

Wondering when they’ll discover the “dark enlightenment” and “longtermism” too.

Sometimes I think about the fact that there's an ideology called Longtermism and the central tenet *isn't* that we have to stop climate change now for the sake of countless future generations, and it makes my head explode

This also plays into TESCREAL ideologies (longtermism specifically) and ties into Curtis Yarvin's talk about the need for "a humane alternative to genocide" for unproductive people.

The religious institution will be OpenAI (the religion is longtermism)

Ich hab auch andere Themen drauf, zum Beispiel Longtermism oder Femizide.

Who knew that longtermism was just “owning the libs” with some ketamine dependency baked in?

Every high profile CEO in America is currently operating with the mindset of an embezzler emptying the till overnight in prp for being gone by morning while doing endless tedious interviews about their personal belief in longtermism

Ich hab euch schon öfter von Longtermism erzählt und wieso diese pseudoreligiöse Ideologie, der Musk und co anhängen, sehr gefährlich ist. @florianaigner.at beschäftigt sich in seiner Kolumne diesmal auch damit

I’m extremely intelligent by the way. It’s called effectively altruistic longtermism. Look it up 💅.

Is this “longtermism”
Yes, well done, browser. Create me an event spanning from the 5th to 13th century.

This is what I find so frustrating about longtermism and Effective Altruism becoming obsessed with tail risks where the answer is just “don’t do this”.
I keep thinking of Stanislav Petrov. If that malfunctioning Soviet early warning system had been one of these AIs, the world would be a smoking ruin right now.

my dislike of musk originally began with his nuttiness about AI and longtermism, the politics came later
