Silicon Valley elites fuel anti-intellectual AI slop

Elizabeth Spiers critiques Silicon Valley's "knowledge elite" for devaluing the humanities and outsourcing critical thinking to AI. The essay warns that replacing human reasoning with LLMs leads to an "enshittification of thinking" that threatens genuine innovation.

// ANALYSIS

Silicon Valley’s push for AI automation reflects a fundamental hostility toward human reasoning, which tech leaders like Andreessen and Thiel view as a cognitive strain to be solved by LLMs. This ideological shift, often masked by a "self-made" myth, risks creating a feedback loop of low-quality "slop" while aligning with neoreactionary goals of replacing democratic systems with corporate-run feudalism.
