These guys use "entropy" the way that people trying to sell you healing crystals use "quantum".

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Statistical Geometric Quantum Information Entropy AI is, literally a healing crystal that grants immortality.
Should work flux in there somehow. And a horrible misinterpretation of phase
Physicists: I have spent several months of my life on top of years of study and I'm pretty confident I can now say what is going on at this surface site on a catalytic membrane!
Physics enthusiasts: Stuff rolls down energy wells so anyway here's how we should structure all of society.
A physics-first view of the principles underlying effective accelerationism
oh hey is this about building more efficient motors or something? neat
since I don't understand any of the language in the rest of the post, I'm gonna assume that's what it's about.
Yes that is what it is about, and you don't have to ever look into it again (unless politicians start talking about it), now flee! And whatever you do: Don't stare into it!
This whole, debate, is really just the question of closed systems vs open ones. That's it. If you want a dystopia because you see yourself as the winner of the final optimization, or you demand that outcome of the universe be knowable to you specifically, you will focus on closed system thermodynamics. If you enjoy the creative beauty of nature and have the capacity to change your perspective on response to the unforseen, you embrace open systems thermodynamics.
So yeah as with abuses of Bayesian logic, your desired outcome always reflects back on which assumptions you take. These takes tell you more about the person spouting then than any meaningful observations of life.
E/acc comes across to me as run-of-the-mill libertarianism dressed in sci-fi clothes, and the idea that it's in any way related to thermodynamics is bait.
thirdly, these fuckers all talk like Sephiroth.
And all want to build the torment nexus. This is the future they all want!
are the left/right flavours distinct because one wants to accelerate capitalism to its end and the other wants to accelerate it to its growth?
if leftists say "accelerationism" as a positive that's what they mean, yes
in theory yes, but my understanding derived from experience is that if leftists say "accelerationism" it's safe to assume they're one flavour or another of cryptofascist
these fuckers all talk like Sephiroth
Therefore, Sephiroth talks like a dying wizard.
As an aside, interesting that lemmy doesn't render usernames as links. The jank is a feature!

it converts usernames to links as part of a janky autocomplete mechanism that only works if you’re typing each individual username by hand and stop to tap on the completed name. the fucking worst way to do it I can think of
I thought about posting this stuff before, wasn't sure if it was in scope. There's more (including a couple more manifestos) here: https://www.effectiveacceleration.org/
the neoreactionaries are highly on topic for sneerclub, annoyingly
These guys have a lot of nerve posting this stuff around Rats because reading it lowers the reader's IQ by several points.
