So as far as I can tell, e/acc ( I guess, "Effective Acceleration") which is the latest techbro idea, is that since we use resources to do things, some of which are desirable, it's a MORAL IMPERATIVE to use resources as quickly as possible. Thus hastening the heat death of the universe, when all possible resources have been converted to "utility", and everything is just a sea of featureless thermodynamic equilibrium without thought or life.

Great, billionaires in a suicide cult. 🤪

Ha yes excellent example! It is hard for me to see how the AI in that scenario isn't exactly the thing that e/acc thinks is a moral imperative.
