I just had a realization (I’m sure this isn’t a new thought—just new to me):

The AI bubble is driven by capitalists who desperately fear the end of capitalism, and they are frantically trying to realize a capitalistic singularity, which is why everything is moving faster and faster towards something, but none of us know what.

Can you feel the acceleration? It’s palpable.

@ramsey Listening to a lot of Behind The Bastards podcast the last two years, especially the specials about all the big tech weirdos like Thiel and the creeps that inspire them (Curtis Yarvin etc), has taught me a lot about the machinations of these capitalists. But it hasn't become less scary. I just understand better now how fucked up it really is.
