The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

It’s a sex cult because these people are all fucking each other

Also, these people’s central source text, their Bible, is a Harry Potter fanfic, and I am not kidding. These dorkass weirdos are unthinkably wealthy and powerful now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_P...

No, I’m not talking about the Zizians. The Zizians are just one small extra insane offshoot of these people, most of whom hold extremely lucrative and respectable-seeming tech jobs.

You want to know more about the sex part of this? Fine:

Faine I cannot tell you how much I did NOT want to know more about the sex part.

This is so far beyond the video games and nudey bars culture I encountered in IT departments consulting as a Solaris/HPUX/AIX admin in Si Valley in 1995-1998.

Simpler, more innocent times

Still creepy. It was proto incel.
