rightwing ‘pro child’ policy in practice always seems to consist of oppressing women and gesturing vaguely when asked how this fixed anything

they have billionaire bank rollers. since the reality of our media system is that you hear a lot about whatever billionaires want you to hear about, they are covered

this is completely unvarnished, OG, third reich nazism, so I’m pretty sure it’s the first, except without the faking it part: I expect his view to be that if you had examined future homeless people closely enough it always would have been possible to tell that they were doomed subhumans

this and the pro slavery reply might be the most overt orange site nazism I’ve seen

oh but what if bro…

occurring to me for the first time that roko’s basilisk doesn’t require any of the simulated copy shit in order to big scare quotes “work.” if you think an all powerful ai within your lifetime is likely you can reduce to vanilla pascal’s wager immediately, because the AI can torture the actual real you. all that shit about digital clones and their welfare is totally pointless

you will never guess which company hired oswald mosely’s grandson

this is credulous bro did you even look at the papers

it’s a very human and annoying way of bullshitting. I took every opportunity to crush this habit out of undergrads. “If you say trivial, obvious, or clearly, that usually means you’re making a mistake and you’re avoiding thinking about it”

I usually say the following. I’m paraphrasing a spiel I have delivered in person several times and which seems to get things across.

'there’s a kind of decentralized cult called rationalism. they worship rational thinking, have lots of little rituals that are supposed to invoke more rational thinking, and spend a lot of time discussing their versions of angels and demons, which they conceive of as all powerful ai beings.

rationalists aren’t really interested in experiments or evidence, because they want to figure everything out with pure reasoning. they consider themselves experts on anything they’ve thought really hard about. they come up with a lot of apocalypse predictions and theories about race mingling.

silicon valley is saturated with rationalists. most of the people with a lot of money are not rationalists. but VCs and such find rationalists very useful, because they’re malleable and will claim with sincerity to be experts on any topic. for example, when AI companies claim to be inventing really intelligent beings, the people they put forward as supporting these claims are rationalists.’
