The Techno-Optimist Manifesto By Marc Andreesson

there was a previous thread on TechTakes for this but I appreciate the title of this one
Ooh, thanks! This community came up in my feed recently, so I haven’t yet had the chance to browse all that awful.systems has to offer. I’ll check out TechTakes and see what else I can subscribe to!
absolutely! there’s quite a bit of overlap between SneerClub and TechTakes, but SneerClub tends to focus on sneering at Eliezer Yudkowsky, the rationalist philosophy (or cult, depending on how charitable one feels), and the LessWrong community and its offshoots. TechTakes sneers at tech in general, and is a bit more accessible I think
all that said, I don’t mind revisiting the topic here because Andreessen Horowitz can still absolutely go fuck himself
e: in spite of spending like 2 whole minutes on it I still somehow misspelled ^A.*n H.*z$’s name
also this is straight up neoreaction, so sadly on topic here
As mentioned previous time: Seems techno optimism is lagging a bit. Marc The TechnoOptimist in 2020: “it is time to build!” 2023: “It is time to be optimistic!”, anyway, his “Patron Saints of Techno-Optimism” list is more funny now after it came out that the first twitter account on that list lied about having sex with people.
