New article out! I'd be especially curious to get your thoughts on the last issue: why you don't think AGI will destroy humanity in the near future. There's a poll at the end of the article. Skip to it if you don't have time to read the rest. :-) Thanks!!

This article had to have been written by AI. OMFG. "Emile P. Torres is a long-term mover and shaker in the eternal life caper. And there are many rich people giving money to people like them." It says that I'm hardcore TESCREAL. Wtf, lol. www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

An open letter to @sanders.senate.gov, @neildegrassetyson.com, and groups like @pauseai.bsky.social: Please stop propping up people who say they would literally "sacrifice all of humanity" to create god-like superintelligences, to quote Yudkowsky. Join me on Team Human, not Team Posthuman. Link👇.

New article in which I argue that it's absolutely unacceptable and completely outrageous that the AI CEOs and founders are saying, out loud, that they might kill you and your family. This is true even if you think AGI isn't imminent or dangerous. But what do you think?

New article on how the AI companies are destroying the world and their CEOs are profoundly unethical people. I mention a lot of recent studies and developments that might interest you. Take a gander: www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/ai-compani...

In case you missed it, here's my new article for Truthdig on Epstein's extensive connections to the TESCREAL movement. What have I missed? Anything? www.truthdig.com/articles/jef...

New article for Truthdig!! Jeffrey Epstein was a transhumanist who funded transhumanists like Ben Goertzel, was friends with Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis, and met with people like Bryan Johnson and Eliezer Yudkowsky. Check it out: www.truthdig.com/articles/jef...

New article on how Jeffrey Epstein funded the transhumanist movement, and how Sam Altman continues to be a sociopath who lies like the rest of us breathe. Check it out!! www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/jeffrey-ep...

Wrote a song. :-) wonderfulsome.bandcamp.com/track/surrou...

New article! The quote is from roon, an OpenAI employee. I discuss how virtually everyone in Silicon Valley imagines a future in which digital beings usurp humanity, as well as the growing divide between people who think ASI is imminent and those who say LLMs are a "dead end."👇

A critique of Nick Bostrom's--I don't know how else to put it--incredibly dumb new paper in favor of artificial superintelligence. His conclusion is atrocious, dangerous, callous, arrogant, and genocidal, & his argument is patently flawed. I explain why below:

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 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...
