In March of this year but I haven't seen it reported at all:

I’m not four years old with a 13 year old “brother” climbing into my bed non-consensually anymore.

(You’re welcome for helping you figure out your sexuality.)

I’ve finally accepted that you’ve always been and always will be more scared of me than I’ve been of you

    Wait, so they actually believe that what-his-name demon or whatever it's called? Figures techbros would miss practically every lesson about actual AI and philosophy.

    Though I guess a paranoid tech/death cult is prime real-estate for grifters, so it all checks out.

      Roko's Basilisk and yep, they sincerely believe it. These are the people the market has decided are The Tech Understanders.

          I've converted a cryptomining rack to a people simulator and I've gotten several simulations of techbros to admit to genuinely believing Roko's Basilisk in between torture sessions.

          Billionaires believe in it enough to give millions of dollars to its cult leaders.

            That's irrelevant to belief. SBF was the EA movements biggest booster and he freely admitted he did not give a shit a out it's principles. EA is striving to be the court philosophers of a tech billionaire run world.

              I don't think an example of one rules out delusions of grandeur among the rest, especially the very far gone such as my-hero

                SBF was THE EA guy. Elon Musk only started getting involved with EA stuff like last year, and quite clearly isn't actually interested in even putting up the appearances of being a benign overlord any longer. Early Musk could probably fool people into believing he actually believed in EA, but if you think he's a true believer now I don't really know what to tell you except you've fallen for a PR campaign even Musk isn't trying to keep alive any longer.

                  If you really think there's only clarity and lucidity and calculated decisions made by melon-musk , to use your words, "I don't know what to tell you" either.

      Roko is a crypto bro. I used to follow him on Twitter and his takes would melt your brain. Absolutely wild.
