His firm’s reputation has been tarnished by going all-in on web3 and crypto projects, a decision even he doesn’t seem to understand. The public is meaningfully grappling with the idea that maybe not every technology that can be built should be built. Legislators are sorely aware of their past missteps in giving technology a free pass in the name of “innovation”, and are increasingly suspicious of the power of tech firms and monopolies. They’re actively considering regulatory change to place limits on once lawless sectors like cryptocurrency, and hearings to discuss AI regulation were scheduled at breakneck speed after the emergence of some of the more powerful large language models.</a></label><br><a href="https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/475/153/111/662/034/original/b52a989a0a1ce46b.png" rel="external">https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/475/153/111/662/034/original/b52a989a0a1ce46b.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/1884019">Despite the futuristic language of his manifesto, its message is clear: Andreessen wants to go back. Back to a time when technology founders were uncritically revered, and when obstacles between him and staggering profits were nearly nonexistent. When people weren’t so mean to billionaires, but instead admired them for “undertaking the Hero’s Journey, rebelling against the status quo, mapping uncharted territory, conquering dragons, and bringing home the spoils for our community.”4The same is true of the broader effective accelerationism philosophy, which speaks with sneering derision of those who would slow development (and thus profits) or advocate for caution. In a world that is waking up to the externalities of unbridled growth in terms of climate change, and of technology’s “build now and work the kinks out later” philosophy in terms of things like online radicalization, negative impacts of social media, and the degree of surveillance creeping into everyday life, effective accelerationists too are yearning for the past.</a></label><br><a href="https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/475/153/116/581/196/original/856b8b1f601b14e5.png" rel="external">https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/475/153/116/581/196/original/856b8b1f601b14e5.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

Effective accelerationism has found an ally in Marc Andreessen, but his recent manifesto exposes that he just wants to go back to the old days when tech founders were uncritically revered, and when obstacles between him and staggering profits were nearly nonexistent.
