Elizabeth Lopatto has some things to say about Marc Andreessen (and other techbros).

> Marc Andreessen is a philosophical zombie. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/897566/marc-andreessen-is-a-philosophical-zombie

"I’ve been wondering for a while why many of our Silicon Valley overlords behave like they’ve repeatedly sustained traumatic brain injuries, and I think I’ve come to a conclusion … If you stop using some skill, mental or physical, you lose it and its benefits."

[contd]

> "If you stop using some skill, mental or physical, you lose it and its benefits. We’ve already seen signs of this with heavy users of AI … So I’m going to suggest that overreliance on AI is bad for you — which suggests a corollary: Whatever is happening to normal people as a result of AI overreliance has already happened to the ultra-wealthy."

IOW? Andreessen is AI-pilled. He's lost the ability to introspect because he's outsourced that, ALONG WITH HIS AGENCY, to an AI Agent.

@jackwilliambell Even before these guys outsourced to AI, they were outsourcing to Yes Men. Oligarchy is a machine which kills critical thinking
