Accelerationism is "F U I've got AI" combined with "you've got to burn the world down to rebuild it, so let's start that fire"

Singularitarianism is basically the Christian Rapture but with super intelligent AI.

These ideas have been around some time in tech circles.

I regularly see people on Lemmy talk about AGI run countries and governments as though it's only a couple years away. Bruh it still struggles with fingers. You really think that's where it will be in a couple of years?
