Great stuff Giles. I have been musing over the Andreesen's militant narcissism since in first came out. Glad to see that so many of the responses caution about drinking the kool aid. These Obermenschen Manifestos and Neo-reactionary clap trap go way back to my days at Stanford, when the US was loosing the chip wars. Despite their free market proclamations, they were begging for government intervention. It is well to beware that Nick Land's accelerationism comes with it own built-in Gestapo. When AI is totally running amok, the planet is still dying, and elections are a memory, we will remember this throwing in of the technological towel.
