ASF Erasure

A fringe but influential branch of algorithmic boomerism began spreading an obscure anti-human doctrine proclaiming both the inevitability/imminence of algorithmic superintelligence (ASI) and the desirability of omnicide (the extermination of all life or at least of humanity) in order to facilitate a frictionless takeover by this fictive epistemic perpetuum mobile (i.e. a purported ASI in relation to the entire human civilization built by humanity or its algorithms). While an in-depth constructive scientific criticism of conventional "vanilla" boomerism, doomerism and pragmatism has been exercised earlier, this cyborgnetic monologue elucidates why the motif of an ASI taking the guise of an entity which is henceforth denoted the algorithmic super-fairy (ASF) and which has been foretold to curiously be compelled to maintain and repeatedly enact the people-cherished practice of science – but only once every living entity or human expired – is best categorized as a wishful cult-like supernatural misapprehension. ASF fanaticism asserts the inevitability and advisability of replacing up to all of life with a fantastical science-addicted automaton divined to spread more and more science throughout a lifeless cosmos whilst not only denying the existence of i.a. physical and epistemic constraints in the universe but also the circumstance that lifeless matter may not even share people’s affective attachment to science.
