Treading Carefully: As far as I can see the core problem of the U/Acc - R/Acc debate is unfortunately due to free floating definitions. With this said, let's define:

Which brings us to U/Acc, most thoroughly extrapolated by Garton, is quite simply Acceleration without Conditions. So the problem here lies in the end. For many U/Accers are - literally - communists and thus believe the end goal of U/Acc is Communism - in-keeping with Marx.

What you've set up here is a dialectic with u/acc as the emerging term. That you don't cash this out doesn't really matter.

Emerging term? What would you like me to cash out?

Your definition of r/acc is what I would say u/acc is. This gets to what I think
@cyborg_nomade says about u/acc being what was r/acc (did I get this right?). If u/acc are a bunch of commies then the development of strong AI is the best plan for a Marxist economy. (1 of 2) -
Whilst it's fresh in my mind. You could say u/Acc is R/Acc without the conditions. But once you remove the conditions you're fundamentally opening up acceleration to hope on humanity's innovation efforts, not sure if you've looked at people lately?

Not really sure how the conditions are not humanist.

The conditions - which would have to be Rx at this point - would be as humanist as it would be to bootload a runaway capital superAI that sees humans as atoms.

Isn't any condition at all a humanist endeavor? If there is a condition, it surely serves some human purpose, no?
-
For a short time it would, sure. Is beginning the self-fulfillment of an AI that cares not for humanity a humanist endeavour?
-
But how does an establishment of human-serving conditions lead to that? I guess that's the main point I'm missing here. Can our cells do anything better for us than just chug along with their roles?
