Published on Jun 1, 2024
Samuel Hammond, senior economist at the Foundation for American Innovation, joins James Poulos as a tech innovation expert. They discuss what effective accelerationism (e/acc) is and its oppositional defiance to effective altruism. Artificial intelligence continues to develop and tends to favor a globalist society. Will our future look more like Nick Land’s digital utopia or Ray Kurzweil’s transhumanist singularity? Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has warned us about the merging of man and machine. Can we slow down innovation enough to regulate it? Or will that push us toward globalization and eventually to hyper-globalization? The EU has already tried to step in and slow AI’s progress, but the U.S. has been in gridlock trying to pass legislation. We could be leaning toward centralization through the rise of populism, but it seems Silicon Valley has its own agenda accelerating tech to reach a blend of transhumanism and Marxism.
