这一“狂野且完全引人入胜的叙述”展示了为什么硅谷逃避死亡、打造人工智能暴君、创造无限增长等无情、毫无根据和愚蠢的痴迷都是关于寡头权力的，而不是为未来做准备。
科技亿万富翁决定由他们来决定我们的未来。根据埃隆·马斯克、杰夫·贝佐斯、萨姆·奥特曼等人的说法，人类仅有的美好的未来是由技术驱动的未来：数万亿人类生活在太空中，功能上永生不朽，由超级智能人工智能服务。
在《继续让一切永恒》一书中，科学记者亚当·贝克尔调查了这些极其难以置信且往往极其不道德的未来愿景——并说明了为什么实际上没有充分的证据表明它们会或应该实现。然而，这些痴迷助长了压倒理性的恐惧——例如，流氓人工智能将灭绝人类——以解决气候变化等关键问题的基本工作为代价。更重要的是，这些未来主义的愿景在太空殖民地和数字永生的梦想下掩盖了对权力的渴望。硅谷巨头声称他们的想法是基于科学的，但现实却更加黑暗：它们来自浅薄的未来主义和种族主义伪科学的混杂。
《继续让一切永恒》揭露了主导硅谷的强大而险恶的想法，挑战我们去看看这些未来愿景是多么愚蠢和危险。
This “wild and utterly engaging narrative” (Melanie Mitchell) shows why Silicon Valley’s heartless, baseless, and foolish obsessions–with escaping death, building AI tyrants, and creating limitless growth–are about oligarchic power, not preparing for the future.
Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.
In More Everything Forever, science journalist Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow–and shows why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. Nevertheless, these obsessions fuel fears that overwhelm reason–for example, that a rogue AI will exterminate humanity–at the expense of essential work on solving crucial problems like climate change. What’s more, these futuristic visions cloak a hunger for power under dreams of space colonies and digital immortality. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the reality is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience.
More Everything Forever exposes the powerful and sinister ideas that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.
