About this Event

Join the Institute for Practical Ethics at UC San Diego for a special presentation with Author Adam Becker. Drawing from his recent book MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER, Becker will explain the strange history and specious reasoning behind how the tech industry is making promises of an endless human civilization, enabled by "artificial general intelligence" and space colonization and how these promises are being used to justify tech billionaires' embrace of Trump, a cavalier attitude toward the climate crisis, and continued investment in what appears to be an AI bubble.
