The historical Jacobins started the Reign of Terror. Who doesn't care about humans, again?

The GP isn’t wrong. Jacobin magazine is controversial even among the left because of its name and some of its bedfellows.
Braxton1980•41m ago
It shouldn't be. See my other comment for details but it's named after a book about the Haitian revolution (The Black Jacobins) not the Jacobins in France.

I'm also curious why you think the magazine is controversial on the left because of the name? What information led you to that conclusion?

Braxton1980•42m ago
The magazine is named after a 1938 book "The Black Jacobins" about the Haitian revolution started by slaves and which occurred partially because of the French revolution. The revolution was successful with slavery (mostly) ending and Haiti becoming a state.

The book claims the revolutionaries (The black versions of the Jacobins) in Haiti were more true to the ideals of the French revolution than those in France because human rights extended to all in the former.

So since the magazine isn't named after the Jacobins in France your criticism makes no sense.

HeinzStuckeIt•21m ago
If true, it makes the magazine come out even worse. The Haitian Revolution was followed within a year by the massacre of most of the European population, a few selected demographics aside.[0] This was already well known down the long decades to that 1938 book and today. So, the mag closed its eyes to a reign of terror no better than the 1789 French revolution.

As for the controversy of Jacobin ideologically, the magazine typically takes a Marxist standpoint, but not all leftist schools of thought are Marxist.

> Right now, with their billions and trillions of dollars, they are trying to create a new world run by post-humans without ever having inquired about the opinions and preferences of the rest of humanity. They’re doing this without our consent, and they don’t really care one bit about what the rest of us have to say.

Man this shit makes me so sad for our future. The money train has left the station and I don’t know if enough good people have the will or ability to shut this destructive speed run down.

The train has been running for centuries, it’s just that who is missing it has changed

Which do you lack, the will or ability to shut this destructive speed run down?

I don't know if "tech capitalists" care about humans or not but I am certain that we should behave as if they do not.

I include myself in that.

I hope people find value in the things I have built and I assume that my literal skin in the game, in the form of my children and eventual grandchildren, will allow others to identify aligned interests ...

... but don't let your guard down just because that one guy did some nice things.

Elon Musk gleefully presided over the destruction of USAID which is estimated to kill 14,051,750 including 4,537,157 children by 2030. (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...)

No matter what his companies builds or accomplishes, those numbers are his legacy.

What's really messed up about this is that as designers of what AGI even means, these mostly self-taught or otherwise non-scientific clowns who think that being rich makes them smart will create the post-human life forms they think will outlive humanity. The problem is it will be inadequate like most of their products and we'll all die for nothing.

I've been thinking that industrialization at the end of the enlightenment was not the conclusion of the enlightenment but a stifling that led back into a new dark age where we replaced God and the church with money and business. I only hope we can recognize the system has supplanted the people again.
