TESCREAL (uncountable)

1. An ideological movement purported to underpin much of the Big Tech industry, whose adherents use the threat of human extinction to justify the pursuit of reckless technological experimentation at all costs, with no regard for any negative impacts on others or society as a whole; especially in relation to the development of artificial intelligence.
