playerAI & Compute
A top venture capitalist who calls slowing down technology 'evil' now sits on the body that helps write White House AI policy.
Who they are
Marc Andreessen, a prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalist.
What they do
The engine casts him as the economic spokesman for the ideology of pushing past limits into a post-human future.
How it works
He published a 'Techno-Optimist Manifesto' citing philosopher Nick Land, arguing unconstrained tech plus free markets create endless abundance and that slowing technology is morally evil. His firm a16z funds much of this tech's rollout. Per Report #63 he became a PCAST member, gave a $4.5M campaign donation plus $2.5M to a Super PAC — moving from merely praising Nick Land to helping write AI policy inside the White House.
Why it matters
It marks the point where the 'go faster at all costs' tech ideology gained formal access to government policymaking.
