What is e/acc?

ft. @Scobleizer , Andy Surtees, Andrew Phillips

Medallion XLN hosts a panel with futurist Andy Surtees, Tech blogger Robert Scoble, and technologist Andrew Phillips to explore the controversial philosophy of Effective Altruism Accelerationism (E/ACC). They’ll unpack the movement’s core idea that transformative technologies like AI and bioengineering must be proactively accelerated and guided to improve civilization’s long-term trajectory, weighing the potential for an upswing of beneficial outcomes against existential risks. Is E/ACC a vital framework for responsibly navigating powerful tech? Or a dangerous path toward dystopia? Get ready to dive into this provocative intellectual movement’s vision of “existential hope” versus “x-risk” nightmare scenarios.
