i am silesian, you can't "patriotic duty" me, i am immune to that. because of the OG nazis. :p

EPSTEIN FUNDED MIRI WHY IS THIS NOT FRONT PAGE NEWS?!

Imagine a visit to Spahn Ranch, except the Family happen to be in possession of The Bomb

Thank you for the nudge here. Have started posting: 1. bsky.app/profile/arti... 2. bsky.app/profile/arti...

What Annie Altman experienced is the tip of the iceberg. And yes, I know how the rationalist cult works because I’m from it… What do you think is most needed here? What do people need to know?

Please tell me there's no crossover with the Kash Patel in front of congress story.

Is there some kind of procedure that should be followed to reduce the damage of reading that stuff, analogous to avoiding the bends when diving?

I mean it's either you or @ed3d.net my man

I mean they’ve both been putting in the work for sure, I’m putting out a more general call

Thank you ❤️

I think this has gotta just be an all hands on deck moment from every single person who’s aware of how dangerous this stuff is (though of course not talking about you, you’ve put in the work!)

A bunch of programs but I don't know if any of those.

Oh brother. I vowed I wasn't going to get into this. I just read that whole thing. I have never read anything like it in my whole life.🙄

I respect how you set boundaries of sanity amidst this insanity tbh

Ah but the abysses are connected at the bottom, they say.

Too true, and yet

I was more interested in reading about them, largely because I haven’t been reading much about AI at all.

Is the HP fanfic I’ve seen described as being at the genesis of this fanfic the stupid reddit thought experiment called like Roku’s Basilisk or something? If so, is it actually somehow an HP fanfic, or does it just have Basilisk in the name?

I can only imagine! "So he went by the name Mencius Moldbug and he used a lot of racial slurs and he knows the vice president"

somethingawful gets a lot of fully justified crap for the harm it did over the years but for sheer damage I think lesswrong is at the top

AI is just their god

The sex aspect is sort of interesting actually -if you think of Elon trying to go Gengis Khan with the multitude of descendents and having the wives live in a commune, or as others have mentioned Aela positioning herself as a kind of techbro honeytrap

These people managed to make group sex uncool. It’s almost impressive

goddammit I had JUST finished forgetting about Aella and Sankey diagrams

Nope. They can learn it by falling down a wiki hole like the gods intended

I have a friend who has been trying to write a book about it for a couple years now. I probably have about a 96th percentile understanding (which is to say, very low) so do my best to explain to friends where i can

@foldablehuman.bsky.social save us, you’re our only hope.

I'm afraid this is true. The Rationalists have been fundraising on their ideas then using the money to pay their lawyers.

Uhhh… I’ve got a lot of questions. 😬

(And "Kevin is a reasonable person" is very much not always in a given, although compared to these people I'm sane as houses)

i have spent the better part of 2 years trying to do so on the issue of sexual violence in those communities, unfortunately the tech press kind of sucks (besides WaPo pre-bloodbath) cade metz was more interested in what aella was like in real life than women getting SA'd

Pretty sure I’d rather rip my tongue out than admit to anyone face-to-face that I actually know any of this, ngl

I'm gonna leave that madness to people who've already burned their braincells on it. I gotta save those braincells for the drugs they're also using.

Do you mean their writings are an infohazard? I both hate and love that I’ve had exposure to this glossary. But I learned some new things from your thread today regarding data visualization that had somehow passed me by.

I may have (unwittingly) dated a zizian for the better part of two years. I’m scarred for life
