This is easy to dismiss as bait, or frame it as "capitalism bad", but it's a deeper ideological undercurrent across the industry, emanating from the LessWrong rationalist community, the Effective Altruism movement, and so on.

If I had to briefly sum up its tenets, it's something like this:

1) Techies are the thinking class. Other people live unexamined, parasitic lives.

2) Normative morality needlessly restrains great thinkers. We should be asking what's *optimal*.

3) The AI god is coming, and it's only rational to pledge allegiance to a superior intelligence.
