I'm always down to revise my priors - but best i can tell from OSINT is there is no smoking gun cause that fits into reasonable board decision-making If it was a "safety" thing, then they've unilaterally set AI progress back months, if not years right when we need it the most https://warpcast.com/cameron/0xc41c75fc

the rhetoric is completely over the top. 'enemies, terrorists, communists etc.' e/acc is showing its true colors rn and it's ugly.

i do agree w that - and sorta wish folks had an outlet like sports to blow some of the steam off but overall, I do think "capital T" Tech does need to collectively get it's shit together and talk it's own book optimistically bc society has clearly lost the plot when it comes to how tomorrow becomes better than today.

what's extra egregious is that the over the top rhetoric isn't coming from randos in the e/acc scene, that I could discount. it's from the leaders and it's so off putting, just a total turnoff. 'decel' has quickly morphed into anyone who doesn't support the e/acc part line which basically means everybody outside tech

There’s loads inside tech that are definitely decels. The over the top rhetoric is necessary when you’re rallying a base. If you’ve ever seen a politician campaigning with absolutely ridiculous us/them rhetoric (pick one, they all do it), realize it’s not for you. It’s to capture momentum in their supporters.

I totally get that, and from the outside it looks completely unhinged. And since this is a game of perception and control it seems like a PR misstep - that people forget they're not in the group chat. It's left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'm out here defending EAs 😂

You’d be surprised — I knew a few high ranking politicians on the overall hierarchy, different party affiliations. Either side, didn’t matter. In private, perfectly rational, nuanced. On the campaign trail, frothing “we have to stop these evil [Socialists|Fascists]” with an audience that absolutely ate it up.

As an outsider, it seems excessive and self-defeating PR, but it’s not the message, it’s the audience capture.

Comes at a cost though since it's very public and all eyes are on AI rn. The e/acc people run the risk of alienating everybody except a small tech cadre: general public, regulators, politicians - maybe it's worth it for them but the 'you're either with us or a 'decel'' stuff doesn't feel very techno optimist to me

+1. I've been generally concerned by AI doom scenarios for years but I understood e/acc points. Now after I saw these blunt political statements from e/acc leaders I've become very worried that e/a were right - e/acc don't look like responsible people who should lead our way to AI era without any guardrails.
