What i never hear these tech bros talk about is where all the minerals and energy is going to come from to implement all this AGI/robot bs. We have depleted the easy to get sources of all of this stuff but somehow we are going magic this vital stuff into existence
Yeah none of this shit is scalable. If they try to that's pretty much game over for us as a species because we'll be sitting at 3 degrees average global temperature warming and technofuturism is pretty much moot.
I wish I had a nickel for each fucking moronic thing this guy shits out of his mouth. I'm 4 nibutes in and I am already going to have to pay taxes on my unrealized gains. This guy is a technoservant to his moron overloards.
Also, I am pretty sure this guy may be a hairless Peter Thiel clone that escaped from his lab where he keeps his oiled up cabana boys. Not surprised Thiel’s hairless clone is out here advocating for lower taxes for VCs. Damn you Thiel and your hairless clones!
Yea its more like a marketing scheme for investors than something thats supposed to go viral. Five cat ladies on twitter isnt really the usual threshold for going viral these days
Great conversation, especially the discussion of the practical pros and cons of network states. Easy to denigrate them but much harder to lucidly speculate on the actual role they will play in shaping the present and near future. Also obligatory "we need nick mullen on the pod"
37:35 "Being aware of the harm... in theory." Ouch. It is okay to push back against Luddite inter-generational fear-mongering. At the same time, there are clear and demonstrable harms being done by technology dependence. It is one thing to argue that technology can grow into a more encompassing but positive role in our lives, but the self-esteem issues, incel and related anti-social worldviews, and actual suicides and mass homicides linked to technology-exasperated depression are not theoretical. Also, feel free to fight on how causal those issues are to technology, but you would have to prove all of these harms are not caused or worsened by technology dependence.
@@LaurenSlowik I doubt that is a serious question, because you know the answer. Yes, those are technologies. I will point out that all terms have multiple definitions, and technology is well understood to also refer to electronics. Most normal people have a good idea of what is being evoked by that term. Using context makes it clear that I am targeting those technologies that reshapes self-image and social relationships fundamentally, rather than just the internet-connected coffee pot.
@@LaurenSlowik I am not even concerned with AGI consciousness. That isn't relevant to a lot of the issues created by technology dependency. You are thinking faster than the conversation because you have moved well beyond the topic of discussion.
this one feels pretty disconnected from, like, the lives of actual people in the world. The democracy vs social programs part highlights that - if people have a meaningful voice, and the majority of them live in dire poverty, then they will be able to reorganize society to alleviate that poverty, like how the social democratic world was built in the first place. The idea that democracy, or freedom, is being able to start a business without incurring an exit tax is absurd. Guess his ideology being separate from people's actual lives is partially a product of the AGI stuff, which is one hell of a bet to make - the number of microprocessors, batteries, & precision motors needed to automate the majority of useful work on earth is absurd, even with our current already unsustainable industrial output
Most of the guests on this channel have been extremely disconnected from average peoples reality. I dont think Catherine or Brace have any more coherent economic views either
i see a lot of people upset in the comments but am glad and excited to hear the updated views of keller, he’s a smart guy and i appreciate the diverse views on the show ❤
Wake up you Sheeple! This guy is Thiel’s hairless clone he sends out to do his VC tax reform bidding. Thiel has an experimental lab where he produces 5 Thiel clones a day. It’s like the Multiplicity movie with Michael Keaton only with Peter Thiel. Thiel can’t clone hair yet.
He is mental imo, or just way overconfident. He’s an artist, where the fuck are his credentials being so so certain that we’re on the verge of godlike AI? Just vibes? Cause a bunch of tech bros want it so bad? The human labour force is being replaced by robots? There’s 8 billion humans and how many robots? Do we even have the resources available? Will that not destroy the entire ecosystem of earth to build? To use zoomer speak wtf is bro yapping about?
I'm interested in his unique perspective and even as someone on the socialist spectrum I can respect his critical views on things that seemingly go against my own. What I can't respect was near the end when he starts talking about the baiting by the democratic party to demonize crypto. Specifically how despite having all these insightful things to say, his myopic view is that his participation or lack there of in electoral politics hinges on his feeling of alienation by the democratic party "baiting" him with progressive social policies to regulate crypto. Participating in digital currencies doesn't make you a bad person but having that particular worldview makes you an unserious person.
I get it, but having a different perspective can inform our critiques further of the techno futurist fantasy enjoyers. We can learn from anything, even disconnected bubbles of capital. This dude Keller blows but he definitely is a stand in for tech bro template A,B, or C. Just a thought.
@@ifihadalifeiduseitwisely7589 I am definitely not against hearing different perspectives. I listened to the whole thing. And I'm not even saying this guy shouldn't have been interviewed. I just find it really hard to understand Joshua Citarella's huge endorsement at the end. Daniel Keller said nothing interesting.
@@ifihadalifeiduseitwisely7589 Not a very interesting podcast format. Its also discordant with the vibe he was putting out in the first four episodes. If you want to hear “different perspectives” its not like theres a shortage of tech bros being interviewed without being challenged in their misplaced utopianism. Tons of content out there with that perspective
I've appreciated Daniel Keller's insights since the early New Models days. Personally I think some of those mocking/making reductive remarks would feel differently if they were more familiar with the evolution of his thinking. Josh seems to always work against echo chambers. It's what the left needs, please keep it up.
Keller's deep investment in AGI bringing about the singularity could only be the result of an insane echo chamber. It's interesting to hear his thoughts only in as much as it lays bare the ghoulish visions of the contemporary crypto / nrx / acc crowds that posture abt sovereignty & freedom & collaborate with the security state at the first chance. Why would you trust their assessment of things?
Keller's investment in AGI bringing about the singularity could only be the result of an intense echo chamber though. It's useful to hear him out only in demonstrating the ghoulish visions of these crypto / nrx / whatever-acc nuts, as they posture towards libertarian "freedom" while jumping at any chance to collaborate with the security state for the big bucks. They're looking for their cut of the pie, not actual reinvestment in social spending or "human potential projects" or whatever they need to say to sell this shit. My question is why would you trust his assessment of things?
@@bathtubbs he was literally talking about yuckin it up the Yarvinians and trying to sell the idea of a network state as a good thing. Did YOU listen to this shit?
I wish he advanced literally any support for his AGI/humanoid robot/UBI scheme. I'm sure he believes it but I'm more interested in why; what books, papers, lectures, or events give him such zealous faith. Sure better tools to sift through data (AGI) are good but only as good as their data. Why would humanoid robots be superior to the robots we already have now? How do we get past a national allergy to paying (UBI) the "undeserving"? Maybe I missed those answers, they seem lost in mild witticism and tech babble
This is what I felt too. Josh has been consistently good at asking probing questions to understand the guest more but that simply didn't happen here. I was interested to know more as a sceptic of what he was asserting
Every one that pays property tax pays money for unrealized gains. So it's a question if billionaires should pay a tax on stocks that represent shares in a company that owns assets.
can someone help me understand how is it not disgusting to be so infatuated with the unabomber? three people died and 23 were maimed for life. I am trying to be open but I find it utterly disgusting and I almost didn’t finish the podcast out of sheer emotion.
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
This is what it sounds like when tech guys talk about something they know very little about (at best) or straight out lie (at worst). In this case , it's the tech economy
I think most of the people who talk about tech (especially making grandiose claims) are more on the PR and marketing side and pretty much don’t understand the actual engineering
This guy is yet another deliusional person who thinks agi is around the corner, and that corporatocracy needs even more power, and that ubi is already in a sense some crypto nonsense he couldn't even describe.
They need to generate and bluff to others (& in most cases, probably themselves) that it's otw, it's self-preservation. If they didn't spark the imagination of gov't & investors it'd flame out quick and be left behind. I think esp for us Americans it stokes the sinophobia/world power position so it's another fuel for the paranoia to keep the eye on the imaginary ball rather than the eco disaster that's tangibly growing and fucking with people.
LOL I don’t even know where to begin with this and the generally uninformed premises that are spouted…The weirdest thing is that he speaks about the capitalism with horror but also a creeping smile. So weird.
Oh, he’s grifting. I don’t know why it took so long to click but makes total sense now. Money and power changed his mind lol. Which is why his “optimism” is so hollow and uninspiring. And by “least partisan” he means “mostly capitalist” lol. You cannot be interested in crypto if you are “left.” I mean at least at the end he just admitted that he threw out ethics for money and capital.
Man i feel bad for continuing to shit on this guy but the “changing worldviews” section of his political journey reminds me of people who stop listening to a musician cause of the “toxic fanbase”… it should be about the music man, in this case your ideals not cause you feel in the wrong social group
Oh damn his "futuristic technopolitics" is all about deregulation and lowering taxes thats so crazy
I’m interested in how agi will lower the price of olive oil
This guy is not Nick Mullen
This dude is as wonderbread tech bro as it gets lmfao
A disarming moment at the end when our host giggled and blushed following a compliment from his guest.
Whats disarming about two gay guys being gay? Its wholesome
