AI’s “Existential Risk” is a Psy-Op

@Snoro@mastodon.social In attempting to compare those two events, the author, in my view, makes a mistake: climate change is caused by humans independently of their opinions. AI, however, is created by unambiguously fascist techbros and used to further their #TESCREAL ideologies. And those don't want to cause migration or uprooting. Those ideologies want eugenics, an elite of the hyperrich, death of "normal" people. They don't want change, they are a death cult.

Yet another example of irresponsibly incomplete reporting, treating doomer #TESCREAL cults as if they're do-gooders, this one going so far as to quote Bostrom without mentioning he as ousted from Oxford for racist emails. It's eugenics, people. Do your reporting. Google #TESCREAL. Call @timnitGebru@dair-community.social. Enough. Is this how the world ends? Extinction scenarios are taking over the AI debate.

Omg y’all, I have finally put enough red string on the board to figure it out. The tsunami of “ai will kill is all” is all coming from the #EffectiveAltruist (EA) network. So, all of the swarm failures in ai testing has come from one lab: #Irregular, a Tel Aviv-based frontier #AI security lab founded in 2023 by Dan Lahav (CEO) and Omer Nevo (CTO). Irregular's founders are deeply embedded in the (EA) network, through organizations funded by Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook co-founder). ( cites to follow) (EA)’s money is all over the messaging that we should pause or slow down all ai development across all arenas. Which makes me think that they are leveraging real opposition to get something they want. What do they want? Someone else to hold this bag they’ve filled up with debt. How do they do that? Make AI a national security threat and nationalize it. Clever boys. Very clever. #TESCREAL

Naomi Klein's new #book "End Times Fascism. And The Fight For The Living World" is out, here's an adapted #essay giving #hope and inspirations for resistance. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/sep/13/end-times-fascists-essay A "post-capitalist and pro- (all of) life fight. Deeply democratic, socialist, feminist, multiracial, multispecies, internationalist, generous, courageous and animate. Embodied and sensory, proudly earthbound." #resistance #future #longreads #TESCREAL #DemocracyMatters #democracy #bookstodon #solarpunk

For the #TESCREAL crowd, this is not a horror story. #Monsterdon

What If TESCREAL Is a Conspiracy? - by Émile P. Torres https://www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/what-if-tescreal-is-a-conspiracy?redirect=app-store-no-desktop&inbox=trueOn June 12, 2023, the democratic-socialist transhumanist James Hughes and then-graduate student Eli Sennesh posted an essay on Medium in which they argued that the #TESCREAL thesis is little more than a leftist conspiracy theory.

Eliezer Yudkowsky is the guy who coined the term Effective Altruism, the toxic ideology that billionaires and capitalism-brained aspiring millionaires use to excuse their greed. They tell themselves, for example, that it's good to work at awful companies such as Facebook/Meta to make ungodly amounts of money because, "look at all the good things I could do with all that money," while ignoring all the awful consequences of them working for these companies. Eliezer Yudkowsky is in large parts responsible for introducing and turning billionaires to this toxic ideology. He's also responsbile for another toxic ideology called Rationalism where they suppress all their feelings, and its communities such as LessWrong or Slate Star Codex. He apparently also wrote a fan-fiction book for Harry Potter, called "Harry Potter and the Method of Rationality". Its premise is that Harry Potter was raised by scientists and University of Oxford professors (🙄), and at the age of 10 having already received a rigorous scientific education, before being sent to Hogwarts, where he then examines the magic through the lens of science. "Productivity YouTuber" Ali Abdaal who has millions of uneducated gullible followers, is now promoting that book with a video literally titled, "I am begging you to read [this book]." Promoting Harry Potter in 2026 is definitely a choice. J. K. Rowling is doing her best to ensure the death of all transgender people. What Rowling is doing literally falls under the definition of genocide. Promoting the works of Effective Altruists in 2026 is definitely a choice. Ali Abdaal represents everything that is wrong with Gen Z aspiring to become millionaires by way of becoming YouTubers. Please stop watching him. I discovered his channel in 2018 or so, when he showed his viewers the flashcard app Anki. And I learned how to study effectively thanks to him, something school or my parents never taught me. But I quickly got turned off by his channel around 2019 or so when he started pivoting to iPad reviews like every other tech channel. And especially when his popularity exploded in 2020 with everyone stuck at home due to the pandemic. Please stop watching him if you do. #EffectiveAltruism #TESCREAL #HarryPotter

There once was a startup so sly That it reframed its bugs as AI. When programmer errors Caused security terrors They called it too smart to comply. #AI #TESCREAL

Report: A network-state project by tech fascists in Malaysia has been shut down by officials. Peter Thiel protégé Balaji Srinivasan claimed to be "creating a new nation on Malaysian soil." "The Network State is a cult ideology that seeks to replace existing nations with new nations run by tech corporations" with minimal tax & regulation. https://www.thenerdreich.com/malaysia-crushes-network-school-balaji-flees-to-kazakhstan/#USPol #EUPol #NetworkState #Tescreal #TechFascism #news .

@jeffjarvis@mastodon.social 2/ The TESCREAL Framing: The term TESCREAL (Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularity, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism) is used by critics to lump together tech-adjacent philosophies that they feel elevate sci-fi hypotheticals—like machine sentience or distant existential threats—over immediate social accountability. #AI#TESCREAL

RE: https://mas.to/@informatik/116815331397793202 #Morgen ist es so weit: Die @informatik@mas.to hat mich eingeladen, um über Tech-Broligarchien und Autoritarismus zu sprechen und mit euch zu diskutieren. Ab 13:00h online bei Big Blue Button Weshalb US Bros nicht toll, aber europäische Datenimperien und Klarnamenregistrieung auch nicht besser sind Ich freue mich, euch zu sehen! #Didit #DID #dudgemacht #Katika #DigitaleSouveränit #TechBros #TESCREAL #Autoritarismus #Klarnamenregistrierung

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people. Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess. Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk. https://hexmhell.writeas.com/galileos-basilisk #NoAI #Singularity #longtermism #Yudkowsky #Zizians

How Epstein Infiltrated Big Tech "Epstein was not cast out after his child sex-crime conviction" in 2008, but remained in Big Tech's inner circle, "including Musk, Bezos, Brin, Page, Gates & Zuckerberg". "Today, those same figures exert enormous strategic influence" on the Trump govt. The "involvement of a convicted sex offender was normalised in this elite Silicon Valley network." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/03/how-epstein-infiltrated-the-silicon-valley-network-behind-trumps-new-tech-order/#USPol #EUPol #EpsteinFiles #Racism #eugenics #TESCREAL #BigTech .
