This is so excellent. Saying everything I’ve been thinking about the necessity for more not less regulation in these uncharted spaces. Thank you for this.
Thanks Jill. I already squirmed when Andreessen wrote that cringe piece on how AI will save us all, but this one is just unhinged, and i think that some of the fascist references fly under the radar, so i had to write this down.
Thank you for flagging them up!!!! Such a valuable public service and a slippery slope that most readers wouldn’t even realise they are on. Thank you for your vigilance and this measured, reasonable take.
I tend to perceive Andreessen's manifestos (past and present) as a bellwether of Silicon Valley's mindset. As such, his latest manifesto represents a deeply disturbing worldview. I will leave the following quote from philosopher William Barrett as pertinent to Andreessen's screed: "It is notorious that brilliant people are often the most dense about their own human blind spot, precisely because their intelligence, so clever in other things, conceals it from them; multiply this situation a thousandfold, and you have a brilliant scientific and technological civilization that could run a muck out of its own sheer uprooted cleverness."
