’My Model of Beff Jezos’s Position: I don’t care about this prediction of yours enough to say that I disagree with it. I’m happy so long as entropy increases faster than it otherwise would.
This isn’t what Beff believes at all.
Maximizing entropy in E/Acc takes approximately the same place as maximizing money takes in Objectivism. It is not inherently good, but it is a strong signal that you are on the right track.
In Objectivism, if you see someone promoting “for the benefit of all mankind”, you can probably assume they are a villain. In E/Acc if you see someone promoting deceleration, likewise.

Surely they must mean something like extropy/complexity? Maximizing disorder doesn’t seem to fit their vibe.
