if your techno-optimism needs to be a religion for technology to succeed, your technology isn't good enough. destroying the skeptics doesn't bring about the future, it just creates enemies out of your future users.

idk, to me it's not a political ideology & not a religion. memes can just be memes. and tbqh, e/acc itself is on par with an NFT community on CT, which is to say that the market will decide if people enter or exit. if the implication is that this is misguided support for technological adoption...what culture isn't?

the implication is that technology as a religion rather than tools toward an external goal is a self-sabotage that will alienate the very market you require to succeed.

(March 2, 2011 while launching the iPad 2) I get the Apple ethos, being a former owner, but tbqh I think a lot of the tech like LLMs or protocols like version control just need to reduce friction. aesthetics is a luxury retrospective to the mechanics that work with max resource constraints (the best part of Apple).

I don't think it's just about aesthetics - it's about creating something useful for your user (aesthetically or economically) rather than authoritatively demanding they accept technology that doesn't meet them where they are. tech has gone from creating magic for the world to demanding the world call them magicians.

I think it's about price when magic is already performed. chatgpt was the magical moment, and ever since then, the decel/accel dichotomy has revolved around democratizing the AI market for abundance of competitive choices. as long as there's enough scenius for iteration, this will get cheaper. many such magicians.

for sure, democratizing the AI market is important you're right- chatgpt caused this tech culture war to heat up, which will only create a lot of tech collateral damage a decel/accel war will only hurt tech's connection with future users. this "war" should simply be about revealing economic motives (the real cause)
