Anthony<blockquote>David Noble builds on the work of White and Ovitt to offer an account of what he terms “the religion of technology” which amounts to a pervasive intermingling of religious concerns with the project of technology as a well as a tendency to link the quest for transcendence to technology. </blockquote>From L.M. Sacasas's blog: <a href="https://thefrailestthing.com/2012/02/22/christianity-and-the-history-of-technology-part-one/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thefrailestthing.com/2012/02/22/christianity-and-the-history-of-technology-part-one/</a> titled Christianity and the History of Technology, Part One Sacasas has a newer Substack that goes into more recent events: <a href="https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/secularization-comes-for-the-religion-6df" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/secularization-comes-for-the-religion-6df</a> . There are some great references in this newsletter, including American Technological Sublime by David Nye. <blockquote>Nye tells a fascinating story about how Americans routinely experienced the advent of new technologies as encounters with the sublime. Not all technologies, of course, but Nye documents how technologies of a certain scale and dynamism elicited feelings of awe and wonder that could easily be described as religious in nature. Nye considers, for example, first encounters with the railroad, the factory, the Hoover Dam, the electrified cityscape, the Golden Gate Bridge, and, later, the atomic bomb and the launch of a Saturn V rocket during the Apollo program. </blockquote><blockquote>Nye shows that the experience of the technological sublime was incorporated into elaborate civic ceremonies and rituals that celebrated not only the technological marvel at hand, but also human ingenuity and the body politic. </blockquote>The broad argument is that technological development is a religion in the United States. This is not meant as a metaphor, but as a literal fact: how Americans treat technology is not like a religious activity, it literally is one. I think this goes a long way towards explaining why we're so weird about <a href="https://buc.ci?t=tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> here and now and especially why there are actual cults formed around it. Noble calls this phenomenon the "religion of technology" and spells out the connections. Sacasas weaves this together with modern developments. Meghan O'Gieblyn makes these connections with modern developments as well, for instance in this talk God in the machine: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTXleWp5fUA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTXleWp5fUA</a> .

AnthonyNIST staffers revolt against expected appointment of ‘effective altruist’ AI researcher to US AI Safety Institute <blockquote>The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is facing an internal crisis as staff members and scientists have threatened to resign over the anticipated appointment of Paul Christiano to a crucial, though non-political, position at the agency’s newly-formed US AI Safety Institute (AISI), according to at least two sources with direct knowledge of the situation, who asked to remain anonymous. </blockquote><a href="https://venturebeat.com/ai/nist-staffers-revolt-against-potential-appointment-of-effective-altruist-ai-researcher-to-us-ai-safety-institute/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://venturebeat.com/ai/nist-staffers-revolt-against-potential-appointment-of-effective-altruist-ai-researcher-to-us-ai-safety-institute/</a> Good for them! <a href="https://buc.ci?t=longtermist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longtermist</a> / <a href="https://buc.ci?t=effectivealtruist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EffectiveAltruist</a> / <a href="https://buc.ci?t=tescreal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TESCREAL</a> people are cultists and have no place in government. They're obsessed with fantasies like <a href="https://buc.ci?t=xrisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xrisk</a> that are disconnected from reality and distract from the actual harms <a href="https://buc.ci?t=ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> is already causing here on Earth. It's precisely the same phenomenon as holding endless discussions about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin while ignoring that people are suffering. It sounds like Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo might be a Kool-aid drinker herself or is sympathetic to the viewpoints of the Kool-aid drinkers. From her Wikipedia entry: <blockquote>Gina Marie Raimondo...an American businesswoman, lawyer, politician, and venture capitalist </blockquote>Emphasis mine. It's alarming that this is even happening, and you know the fix is in because they tried to rush the appointment without informing staffers ahead of time. I hope <a href="https://buc.ci?t=nist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NIST</a> staffers prevail. cc: <a href="https://dair-community.social/users/timnitGebru" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@timnitGebru@dair-community.social</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bida.im/users/xriskology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@xriskology@mastodon.bida.im</a>

Chuck DarwinUnderstanding "longtermism": Why this suddenly influential philosophy is so toxic <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nick</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bostrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bostrom</a> has explored the possibility of engineering "radically enhanced" human beings by genetically screening embryos for "desirable" traits, destroying those that lack these traits, and then growing new embryos from stem cells.This engineered person might be so different from us — so much more intelligent — that we would classify them as a new, superior species: a <a href="https://c.im/tags/posthuman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#posthuman</a>. According to Bostrom's 2020 "Letter From Utopia," posthumanity could usher in a techno-utopian paradise marked by wonders and happiness beyond our wildest imaginations. Referring to the amount of pleasure that could exist in utopia, the fictional posthuman writing the letter declares: "We have immense silos of it here in Utopia. It pervades all we do, everything we experience. We sprinkle it in our tea."Central to the <a href="https://c.im/tags/longtermist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longtermist</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/worldview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldview</a> is the idea of <a href="https://c.im/tags/existential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#existential</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/risk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#risk</a>, introduced by Bostrom in 2002. He originally defined it as any event that would prevent us from creating a posthuman civilization, although a year later he implied that it also includes any event that would prevent us from colonizing space and simulating enormous numbers of people in giant computer simulations (this is the article that <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> retweeted).
