The “TESCREAL” Bungle—Asterisk

The TESCREAL “bundle of ideologies” is purportedly essential to understand the race to build artificial intelligence, the ethical milieu of those building it, and the philosophical underpinnings behind Silicon Valley as a whole. But does the label actually tell us anything?

A Code Red Warning about TESCREALism

This is what happens when you spend two years unmasking a well-funded Silicon Valley “apocalypse cult.”
