So much in this is factually incorrect. Basically every time they say "probably" it's an incorrect assumption with no evidence.

I'm back, I missed you all. Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult. I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?) (alternative title: Time For Some Cult Theory)

Guys, this does not mean that other things are necessarily correct. Some of it is, but misleading. I'm about to do an egg retrieval but can respond in more depth later if there's enough good faith curiosity.

I really think this was my masterwork tbh

We can no longer look away from The Chart if we are to defeat the batshit billionaire rationalist sex cult running the American AI industry. I’m so sorry you all had to find out like this. knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/me...

Vibecamp was great when I went. If you think it's cool, then you'll meet the other kinds of people who think it's cool.

Should I go to vibecamp

"They really focused on the part where I was saying that Black men catcall more and not the part where I was like, 'Hey, maybe we should question our conceptions of catcalling itself.' And maybe there is a racist component to that. How much of this is just people being afraid of Black men?"

As a kid, I read history stories of people who survived famines, or died from yellow fever, or celebrated being able to eat something with sugar at Christmas. I felt so grateful for the prosperity I had - a warm bed at night, sweets, medicine. 1/

I think wealth is good. Industry and trade has lifted so much of the globe out of poverty, and will continue to do so if it's not stifled. Sustainable luxury is created, not stolen! Thousands of years ago we lived in mud huts!

and now we live in incredible houses with transparent squares that let in light, and energy that pours out of the walls and water that washes away your shit. This luxury is not a static resource, it was something that emerged, over time, from trade with each other. Prosperity isn't zero sum!

You would not think my childhood home was prosperous by today's standards. My family sometimes were stuck between paying for food or gas; I remember one Christmas my mom put lights on a potted plant because we couldn't afford a tree (~$30 at the time).

I'm glad, as a kid, I was exposed to education about economics and an understanding of what living standards were in centuries past. If I'd instead been comparing my life to people with more money than us, I would have maybe been angry, or viewed prosperity as something stolen instead of shared.

I'd learned about basic economics - supply and demand, and surplus value, and gains from trade, and it was exceedingly obvious that these things were what allowed me to enjoy such prosperity.

im increasingly coming to believe that there's different spectrums in sexual desire that are just as defining, deep, and unmalleable as being gay or straight

e.g. the bdsm vs vanilla divide is big and bimodal and very very strong, particularly among women. I also suspect there's a similar thing around mate guarding spectrum in males - is it hot or not hot when a woman fucks anything that moves?

this is why i don't include consent forms. If I actually need someone to consent to something real then I'll just include a single line - "Is it ok if I do x with the data?" yes/no

In a study that may surprise some or may surprise no one... Participants don't read consent forms. They spend about 8 seconds on them, older people are more likely to have read , but really 6-17% could have even skimmed. Ethical & practical issues abound. osf.io/npa3b/downlo... #metasky #phdsky

How many people have rape fetishes? This is the % of people who were into rape (and other types of dominance/submission) in my survey. 640,000 people, demographics are young and western
