Ex: "We believe a Universal Basic Income would turn people into zoo animals to be farmed by the state."

Is Sam Altman not a techno optimist?  🤔

I think successful tech founders must inherently be techno optimists, and he’s one of the most successful and universally respected tech founders.

What would be your arguments for or against Sam A being a techno optimist?

I think it's more not a Tech Optimism, but right wing accelerationism manifesto. If you are searching another acceleration way you could read Inventing the Future:Postcapitalism and a World Without Work by Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams
