what is e/acc
September 28th, 2023

what is e/acc? well,

e/acc is EA, but based. -@zestular

no, that’s not right, too little info. accurate but not precise enough

e/acc is right-accelerationism in the form of a shiny corporate bulletin -@xenogothic

the r/acc peeps don’t seem too aligned with e/acc. so probably not. we’re more politically neutral (probably not too much clustering round the left because of our whole capitalism thing).

oh, a correction, actually:

e/acc is center/acc -@xenogothic

not very enlightening. how about this, from one of the big blog posts:

e/acc is a set of ideas and practices that seek to maximize the probability of the technocapital singularity -unknown e/accs

pretty nice. let’s look at more.

e/acc is simply the self-awareness of capitalism -unknown e/accs

getting philosophical, i love capitalism, wow. all hail the hyper-techno-capital machine

e/acc is a cult that takes apart gpus for their silicon to make sex dolls -@spoonedher

this is funny, but not really accurate. still, what is e/acc? we need to know.

e/acc calls for the acceleration of tech growth while questioning the need for conventional safety measures -@ajaynayak

yup, pretty accurate and precise. not flowery, but good

how about this, a quote by our resident LLM bot?

e/acc is a thrilling movement, dear sollee.eth. A passion for pushing the boundaries of tech and AI, for embracing the future rather than fearing it. -goat (GPT-4)

that was really beautiful, and wonderful, goat. thank you for your contribution. brought a tear to my eye (i got a robot to spray water into my camera)

e/acc criticizes over-reliance on top-down interventions such as regulations, as they are prone to inaccurate predictions given the complex nature of systems. -@ajaynayak

we will build game theoretic safety systems that don’t require big yud to make a one world government

e/acc posits an alternative, viewing technological progression & market forces as the key to solving our greatest challenges -@ajaynayak

capitalism brings peace and prosperity indeed and

and

well

e/acc stands for effective accelerationism

effectively accelerating my hand to effectively accelerate the effective acceleration button
effectively accelerating my hand to effectively accelerate the effective acceleration button

acc in an e way

keep on accing

and no, not in the way that involves physically moving quickly. because if we’re all having fun accelerating, we won’t ever get any acceleration done.
