Tech Billionaires Want Us Dead

Video Description

Tech billionaires are planning for a future where humans don’t exist, and they’re already building it. For decades, tech elites have sold us a shiny future powered by artificial intelligence. But what if the future they’re building doesn’t include us? I investigated the dangerous worldview known as TESCREALism that has taken hold across the world’s most powerful tech companies, from OpenAI to Tesla. It’s the belief that biological humans are flawed and temporary, and that a post-human future dominated by AGI (artificial general intelligence) is both inevitable and desirable. Under this ideology, human obsolescence is framed as progress, while billionaires like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg prepare to outlive the collapse they are helping to create.
