The Harry Potter AI safety sex cult stuff has really thrown me for a loop. Like it's not bad enough the world turned out like this, it turned out like this for that reason. Goddamn

The past few days have been enlightening kind of like eating plutonium is filling

i flirted with becoming a rationalist but decided to be trans instead

Ironically, that seems the more rational choice.

I am deliberately maintaining a distance. There was a time when, having heard about this, I would immediately have read HP&WhateverRationalityThing to test it's ideas and attempt to see why they embrace it and more precisely understand how it leads them astray. I ain't got time for that these days.
