- Succession by machines would be acceptable or desirableBeff Jezos and bayes's post of 10 July 2022 states that e/acc has "no particular allegiance to the biological substrate for intelligence and life" and that, if one seeks to increase the amount of intelligence in the universe, staying perpetually anchored to the human form is counter-productive.2022-07-10 · publication · Stated in source · Supported Inspect claim & evidence ↗Succession by machines would be acceptable or desirable: propositions page →
- Accelerate rather than restrainBeff Jezos and bayes's post of 10 July 2022 states that one goal of e/acc is to help the acceleration of a multi-scale adaptive principle rather than attempt to decelerate it, and that over-regulating technologies "slows down progress", which it presents as "a contrast to anti-AGI factions of EA".2022-07-10 · publication · Stated in source · Supported Inspect claim & evidence ↗Accelerate rather than restrain: propositions page →
