TL;DR:
I rant a bunch about how the silly eschatology of Yudkowsky and his cult have been hijacked by monopolistic corporate goons to push generative AI. Figured y’all might be interested.

Oh damn that’s actually pretty good, I’m sad I didn’t get the joke. (Lots of jokes sail over my head. I’m very literal much of the time, hah.)
I was in the States, so I was more at risk- but I’m a huge science nerd, enough that Yudkowsky’s anti-science crap tossed up a BUNCH of red flags for me, and convinced me to start seriously researching the Rationalists and looking for critics.
Yeah it’s interesting to see which of the regulars from Reddit transfer over or not. Took me months, and it was researching for this essay among old Sneerclub posts that inspired the switch.
Don’t worry about not getting the joke, you need to have heard of it, and need to have remembered it. I just recall it because people told me a story about the joke being written on a toilet door somewhere. (even nerd toilet graffiti is deeply cringe in a way).
