Every Exponential Ends — Silicon Valley Forgot — Adam Becker

Adam Becker argues that Silicon Valley’s favorite futures—singularity, mind uploading, Mars colonization, and AI apocalypse narratives—rest on weak evidence and ignore basic physical limits. He contends that AI risk, effective altruism, and rationalist communities are often sincere but misguided, and that the real fixes are social: regulate tech and tax billionaires.
