It makes very little sense to regular people because he’s directing his argument to followers of “e/acc” who he assumes should support policies that mindlessly consolidate power and capital in AI “innovators” (aspiring monopolists to the rest of us). Otherwise, who else will give them their immortality mind uploads, full dive VR and the-movie-Her-but-real-life in a few years?

no it's people presenting "this is good for a handful of companies" as if it is the "desirable outcome for the general population" even if the final consequences seem rather bad for the general population and might even threaten democracy
