So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.

    Isn't he an accelerationist? To them the more fuck ups we have the more solutions we make, which is pretty stupid of an argument in my opinion.

    I agree. We obviously need to make huge changes to how we live asap, but it seems so profoundly stupid to let a few unelected people break things without a collectively agreed upon plan in place.
