e/acc: Can a meme pave the way to a utopian society? Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

Effective Accelerationism, abbreviated as e/acc, represents a collection of ideas and practices geared towards maximizing the likelihood of reaching the technocapital singularity. This movement aims to create an environment where emergent consciousness can thrive. Influential figures in the tech industry, such as Marc Andreessen, have shown their support by incorporating "e/acc" into their usernames. The movement's mascot is an enigmatic "tech founder" known as Beff Jezos.

E/acc, short for Effective Accelerationism, is rooted in Nick Land's accelerationist theories. It advocates the belief that artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) will pave the way for a post-scarcity technological utopia. The movement's name is also a clever nod to Effective Altruism. E/acc communities predominantly thrive on Twitter, particularly through Twitter Spaces, where enthusiasts share e/acc manifestos via the Substack newsletter platform.

A huge thanks to Margaux MacColl of The Information for her article 'It's a cult' that was used as the basis for this episode.

Bloomfilter: Raising capital in a downturn Oct 06, 2023

Show notes

Bloomfilter is a process intelligence platform for software development. Their whole mission is built on the belief that businesses rely on software development to solve problems and deliver a better user experience. However, software development projects are notorious for missing deadlines and budget estimates. There’s some research that even shows that 2/3 of software projects are either challenged or fail altogether, while 70% of software projects are delivered late, over budget, or are not delivered to the original specifications. And so… Bloomfilter is setting out to change that with process mining and predictive algorithms that are meant to help software development teams identify bottlenecks in the development process, objectively predict project outcomes, and deliver software on time and within budget.
