In a post on X, investor and podcaster Patrick O'Shaughnessy highlighted a new conversation with Jeremy Giffon about the philosophies he says sit beneath Silicon Valley and AI, citing figures from Curtis Yarvin to Will MacAskill and quoting the claim that "There is a real philosophy, some sort of neo-Buddhist utilitarianism, that underlies the technological developments in Silicon Valley." O'Shaughnessy also linked the broader episode post, which says the discussion covers Giffon's claim that billionaires have become "subservient" to the "poaster" class.
