New article on Musk's stupidity re: Mars, our worsening existential predicament, and a quiz that someone created to determine how "TESCREAL" you are! I also address the question of whether our brains are computers. Fun stuff! www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/mars-colon...

New article on the duplicity of people like David Krueger who argue that ASI might cause "human extinction." In fact, human extinction is *built-into* the TESCREAL worldview they accept. If things *go well*, then humanity dies out. Don't be fooled by their dishonest rhetoric.

New piece on the surprising similarities between Eliezer Yudkowsky and Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. This might sound like hyperbole, but it's not. In my view, the Rationalist community is a ticking time bomb--it's only a matter of time before someone does something inexcusable.

New article on quantum computers!! Curious about what they are, how they work, and what they might be good for? I cut through the hype and provide a technical but relatively accessible introduction to the topic. I hope you find this to be a useful resource. :-)

New article about the deafening silence from Effective Altruist leaders on the most morally important issues of our time: the Gaza genocide, rise of fascism, and brutality of ICE. I also discuss how the world would probably be better if EA had never existed. What do you think?

This was one of the most interesting podcast episodes that Kate Willett and I have recorded recently. We spoke with Dr. Alexander Thomas about a wide range of topics, including the TESCREAL bundle of ideologies. Check it out, if you have the time!! www.patreon.com/posts/larpin...

New article!! I discuss Larry Ellison's boat "Izanami," the arrival of realtime deepfakes, and Demis Hassabis' claim that the Great Silence/Fermi paradox isn't evidence of AI doomerism (which is wrong!). Very curious to know what you think. :-) www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/larry-elli...

Thanks for making this video @taylorlorenz.bsky.social lets hope people listen and not accuse you of "calling everything you disagree with eugenics" and such as they did me and @xriskology.bsky.social 🙄 I don't know how much evidence people need.

I made a deep dive video into the TESCREAL ideology shaping Silicon Valley’s biggest companies and the AI arms race, and how a shocking number of tech billionaires are pro-human extinction

Another excellent piece from @xriskology.bsky.social, something you definitely need to read if you are thinking of leaving the US, or just wondering how bad things in the US are, relatively speaking.

Sadly, another prominent philosopher has fled the United States, and provided a data-packed account of their decision to do so. Highly recommend this article, and pretty much everything else that @xriskology.bsky.social has published.

New article on the TESCREAL ideologies and ongoing race to build a Digital Deity. I discuss my recent Oxford Research Encyclopedia article on the topic, as well as my forthcoming book: "Digital Deities: Silicon Valley’s Quest to Replace Humanity with AI." Like and subscribe. :-)

New article: "But who will protect them from us once they've all retreated to their underground shelters?" F*ck the billionaires. Eat the rich. Down with the oligarchy. www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/tech-billi...

New article titled "WHY I FLED THE US." I'm now in Europe, and hope to never return to the SHITHOLE country in which I was born. In just about every respect, Europe is superior to the US, though this didn't have the be the case. Fuck Trump, fuck ICE, and fuck fascism. Read 👇

I hate to say it, but this is the start. The pain we’re going to face with genAI (used to extract on top of identity conflict politics) is going to be say at least 20x the pain we experienced with social media. Our hope is in finding clarity. That even the engineers realise that it is a dead end.

@xriskology.bsky.social puts the matter very well here. the guy's like 94. probably should have just stopped being a public figure a decade ago

Interesting reading. Will the clock tick forward 1, 2, or more seconds... ?

On January 27, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (@BulletinAtomic) will announce the 2026 Doomsday Clock setting. Here are five reasons I strongly suspect they'll move the minute hand one second closer to doom. What do you think? Am I wrong? www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/five-reaso...

This is the agent that murdered the woman in Minneapolis on 1/7/2026.

small-government conservatism is when a guy in a mask who won't show you his badge shoots you through the window of your car while you're driving away from him

a lot of people warned that this is exactly what would happen. all of this. they were ridicules and told they weren't serious. or simply not listened to.

Always more money for war.

Are you suffering from Crisis Fatigue? How can we effectively address the world's problems without suffering burnout? How can we possibly make sense of the messy tangle of global challenges? I explore such questions in my newest article: www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/are-you-su...

Newish article on the US and Venezuela.👇 Basically, a dictator violated international law by kidnapping a different dictator for violating US law, even though US law doesn't have jurisdiction in Venezuela. Wild stuff/hard to believe this is reality. www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/will-donal...

New article on the illegal kidnapping of Maduro in Venezuela. Yes, Maduro was a terrible dictator, but the actions of Trump -- himself a convicted felon who evaded prison time -- clearly violate international law. Link below. www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/will-donal...

I have successfully left the US, for reasons identical to those specified by Jason Stanley and other fascism experts, who also fled. A close friend of mine, a professor, also recently left for Canada. I do not have many good things to say about the US right now. Currently in Europe.

Big thanks to @xriskology.bsky.social for this fascinating snapshot of AGI apocalypticism in 2025. Brings home the impact this tech is having on people’s lives. (FYI, IMO, the Singularity is a Silicon Valley myth sustained by those who can't see how inherently fragile and vulnerable digital tech is)

Cool -- this article of mine on digital eugenics was the 12th most-read piece published by Tech Policy Press in 2025. Check it out: www.techpolicy.press/digital-euge...
