ideology

Researcher Emil Torres discussed the TESCREAL ideological lineage (transhumanism, singulatarianism, rationalism, effective altruism, longtermism, etc.) with the host, pointing out that these schools of thought — which profoundly influence frontier AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI — share a common vision of establishing a cosmic posthuman utopia through artificial superintelligence, with the human biological species itself excluded from that vision.

The article reports on $12 million pledged to David Heinemeier Hansson through the Omacom Foundation, raising concerns about normalized fascism and ideology in the open-source technology community.

This article explores the systemic risk posed by ideologically-driven founders in AI, using Anthropic as a case study, and draws parallels with historical tech leaders.

This paper investigates whether topic sentiment causally affects perceived political ideology in news articles, comparing human annotations from AllSides with those from LLMs including GPT-4o-mini and Llama-3.3-70B. It finds that fine-tuned GPT-4o-mini exhibits a spurious sentiment-ideology coupling not present in human judgments, highlighting risks of using LLM annotations as proxies in causal analyses.
