They didn't reinvent Calvinism imo. They reinvented Luranic Kabbalah

I saw a long Twitter thread once about how the basilisk cult was like, *exactly* Calvinism in every doctrinal particular Haven't been able to find it again, though

Scrolling quickly it looks like Calvin is covering his ears as though this is not what he expected his legacy to be

I mean I know definitively Eliezer wouldn't care he's "Post-Jewish" lmao

Faine, is it possible to get a pdf of your Foreign Policy article? I’m. It sure I want to go for the subscription when that’s the only article I’m interested in.

I suppose not even Yale can produce enough sociopaths and charlatans to man the entire SV/darkweb/EA/GOP elite.

Actually, I'm a little surprised each of those numbers isn't higher.

Well one outcome of the basilisk is endless possibilities of the torment nexus so there is a non zero chance the 🐍 will create a simulacrum of humanoid dog fursonas manning UAVs. Actually someone should write this on AO3

we must protect ourselves from drones carrying usb sticks that fly in through your window and plug the stick into your computer and it installs ai

They are the thumbdogs. No it isn't

finally I’ve found the one thing I’d resort to using an LLM to write

You are doing God's work here on Earth, Faine.

If you present them as the hands of the paperclipping AI, I would say almost definitely yes.

On the record, I DO think AI has the potential to be extremely dangerous in terrifying ways that we need to research and anticipate: I also want a truly diverse set of people who aren’t all part of the same millenarian Silicon Valley doom cult doing that research and safety work.

I can't believe you're worried about thumb dogs piloting drones while we all know as a fact that thumb cats would murder us in our sleep.

Laser pointers though.

🤔 How many of the 26.3% are camgirls getting paid by the 68.8%? One of those rooms where ya walk in, scan the participants, then nope right back out the door.

Isn't Effective Altruism, EA nothing else than just saying "I can be an asshole for now, as I plan to be nice later?"

Is this top 200 in the WORLD or in the US?

Sex cults have a hard time recruiting if they go all in on just one gender. Really narrows the recruit pool.

ummm

Calvinism’s influence on US culture is profound even among the secular. a.co/d/0hLWX1XT

There’s something about self-important assholes interpeting relatively normal texts that makes them all select the bits that make them the special ones. (Actually reading Calvin yields very different results than listening to Calvinist bros)

Roko's Basilisk is 3 Pascal's Wagers in a trench coat, I've been saying this for years.

I mean modern Americans love Calvinism, it makes sense they'd also love Cyber Calvinism
