THE RISE OF SILICON VALLEY'S TECHNO-RELIGION

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Lighthaven hotel has become a temple to the pursuit of artificial intelligence and the future of humanity. The gated complex includes five buildings and a small park. It is the de facto headquarters of the Rationalists, a group with many interests involving mathematics, genetics, and philosophy. One of the Rationalists' overriding beliefs is that artificial intelligence can deliver a better life if it doesn't destroy humanity first. The group believes it is up to the people building AI to ensure that it is a force for the greater good.
