Introduction

The idea of effective accelerationism has its roots in the theories of British philosopher Nick Land, who lectured at the University of Warwick and is known as the father of the broader accelerationist movement. More formal e/acc ideas have taken shape on Twitter and the Substack newsletter since 2022. Marc Andreessen, founder of A16Z, and Garry Tan, CEO of YC incubator, took the lead in adding "e/acc" to the suffix of their social account names. In the field of AI entrepreneurship and investment, "e/acc" seems to be like a A menacing new trend of thought.

what is e/acc

e/acc is the abbreviation of "Effective Accelerationism". It is a philosophical thought and social movement that advocates the use of technological innovation and the power of capitalism to promote social change and even subvert the existing social order.

The idea of e/acc comes from Accelerationism, which is a belief that the development of technology and capitalism is irreversible and uncontrollable, and human beings should adapt and use this development to achieve higher consciousness and life form of thought.

e/acc is a branch of accelerationism, which emphasizes the promotion and transformative effect of technological innovation on social change. It believes that human beings should promote and join technological innovation in various forms, and does not reject any innovative ideas that provide hypothetical value, even It seems too ridiculous, too far-fetched, or too far-fetched now. It believes that all imaginative technologies that claim to benefit human beings need to be supported and possible.

e/acc is particularly interested in artificial intelligence technology, which it believes is one of the most effective ways to promote the accelerated development of society. It advocates pursuing artificial general intelligence (AGI) as soon as possible and involving more people in technological development.

e/acc influences and changes all aspects of society through technological innovation, such as politics, economy, culture, technology, etc. It breaks the traditional thinking and framework, challenges the existing authority and rules, and shows a future vision full of infinite possibilities and opportunities.

How e/acc differs from traditional techno-utopianism

Technological Utopianism is an idea that technology can solve all human problems and bring about an idealized social state.

e/acc differs from traditional techno-utopianism in the following points:

· e/acc is not satisfied with realizing an idealized society under the existing social order, but hopes to change or even destroy the existing social order through technological innovation, thereby creating a brand new society;

· e/acc does not believe that technology can solve all human problems, but believes that technology can provide more resources, opportunities and choices, and can also deal with some urgent and major global problems;

· e/acc does not ignore or deny the risks and crises that technology may bring, but believes that these risks and crises are inevitable and beneficial because they can promote human evolution and adaptation;

· e/acc does not rely on or obey any authority or rules, but encourages individual creativity and autonomy, and believes that human beings should choose and use technology according to their own preferences and needs.

What impact does e/acc have on technology, system and culture

e/acc may have the following impacts on the three current fundamentals: technology, system, and culture:

· For technology, e/acc can promote the development and innovation of technology and provide more resources, opportunities and choices. e/acc encourages people to promote and join technological innovation in various forms, and it does not exclude any innovative ideas that provide hypothetical value, even if it seems too absurd, too outrageous or too far away now. It believes that all imaginative technologies that claim to benefit human beings need to be supported and possible. e/acc is particularly interested in artificial intelligence technology, which it believes is one of the most effective ways to promote the accelerated development of society. It advocates pursuing artificial general intelligence (AGI) as soon as possible and involving more people in technological development.

· For institutions, e/acc can affect and change various rules and arrangements in society, such as politics, economy, law, etc. e/acc breaks the traditional thinking and framework, challenges the existing authority and rules, and presents a future vision full of infinite possibilities and opportunities. e/acc may lead to the emergence of some new systems and the demise of old systems, such as decentralization, open source, user control, etc.

· For culture, e/acc can influence and change various values and beliefs in society, such as ethics, morality, fairness, justice, etc. e/acc may ignore or sacrifice some important values and principles, and may also create or promote some new values and principles. e/acc may lead to the emergence of some new cultural phenomena and social problems and the demise of old cultural phenomena and social problems, such as individuation, creativity, and experimentation.

What are the similarities and differences between e/acc and "effective altruism"

Effective Altruism is a philosophy and social movement that advocates "the use of evidence and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible, and to act on that basis". People who pursue effective altruistic goals are called effective altruists, and they often choose careers or donate to charity based on the desired effect.

· e/acc has the following similarities and differences with effective altruism:

What e/acc has in common with effective altruism is:

· They are both ideas and movements based on reason and evidence, and they both try to find the best way to improve the world;

· They all focus on some important, neglected, solvable issues, such as global poverty, animal welfare, artificial intelligence safety, etc.;

· They all emphasize the equal consideration of all beneficiaries, regardless of geographical, racial, species and other factors;

· They both promote individual action and responsibility, encouraging people to make the best contribution according to their abilities and resources.

e/acc differs from effective altruism in that:

• Their attitudes toward technological innovation and capitalism differ. "e/acc" believes that technological innovation and capitalism are unstoppable, and that human beings should adapt and use this development to achieve higher consciousness and life forms; while "effective altruism" believes that technological innovation and capitalism are controllable and planned, and humans should oversee and guide this development to achieve a more equitable and sustainable society.

· They differ in their receptivity to innovative ideas. "e/acc" is more open and inclusive to the imagination and attempt of technological innovation, it does not reject any innovative ideas that provide hypothetical value, even if it seems too absurd, too outrageous or too far away; while "effective altruism" is more cautious and Rational evaluation and selection of technological innovations only support those innovative ideas with sufficient evidence and reasons, even if they seem too conservative, too mediocre or too boring.

• They differ in their goals and means of social change. "e/acc" is more subversive and radical. It is not satisfied with realizing an idealized society under the existing social order, but hopes to change or even destroy the existing social order through technological innovation, thereby creating A brand new society; while "effective altruism" is more progressive and progressive, it seeks to achieve some effective improvements and solutions in some key areas and problems on the basis of respecting and maintaining the existing social order.

The Influence and Controversy of "Effective Altruism" in the Field of Web3

Web3 refers to the combination of artificial intelligence and decentralized networks to achieve more efficient, safer, fairer, and more transparent digital services and applications.

In the field of Web3, effective altruism also has certain influence and controversy. On the one hand, effective altruism can provide some useful guidance and enlightenment for Web3, such as:

· Effective altruism can help Web3 identify and prioritize some important, neglected, solvable issues, such as data privacy, network security, digital citizenship, etc.;

Effective altruism can help Web3 evaluate and select some technological innovations supported by evidence and reasons, such as blockchain, smart contracts, zero-knowledge proofs, etc.;

Effective altruism can help Web3 balance and coordinate the interests and needs of all parties, such as developers, users, investors, regulators, etc.;

Effective altruism can help Web3 establish and maintain some important values and principles, such as ethics, morality, fairness, justice, etc.

On the other hand, effective altruism may also encounter some challenges and difficulties, such as:

· Effective altruism may be difficult to adapt to the rapid changes and uncertainties of Web3, it may not be able to obtain and analyze sufficient evidence and information in a timely manner, and it may not be able to predict and control the consequences and impact of technological innovation;

Effective altruism may be difficult to take into account the diversity and complexity of Web3, it may not be able to meet the preferences and needs of different groups and individuals, and it may not be able to resolve conflicts in different fields and issues and effective altruism may be difficult to take into account the diversity and complexity of Web3 , it may not be able to meet the preferences and needs of different groups and individuals, and it may not be able to resolve conflicts and contradictions in different fields and issues; it may require compromise and negotiation between different stakeholders, or between different values Make choices and trade-offs.

For example, effective altruism may require a balance and coordination of:

· In terms of data privacy and data sharing, effective altruism may require a trade-off between protecting users' personal information and promoting the public interest of society;

· In terms of cybersecurity and cyberopenness, effective altruism may require a choice between preventing cyberattacks and malicious behavior and encouraging online innovation and free expression;

· In terms of digital citizenship and digital responsibility, effective altruism may require negotiating between giving users more rights and autonomy and demanding more obligations and compliance from users.
