"Those aren't real jobs anyway and if you're against workers getting fucked over by technology leveraged against them you're against logic, science, facts, and The Future. I like my cheap slop. I got mine." :morshupls: Awfully familiar take, isn't it? :cap-think:

    As far as I can tell they haven’t taken over much of AI culture among computer scientists and institutions

    I'm glad for that but venture capital and billionaire financing (and media hype) still flows toward the cult. LessWrong being wrong doesn't stop them from harming actual scientific progress with their bloviating bullshit.

    if you are concerned with maximising the long term utility for humanity you should be a communist

    "Rationalists" want the 1950s except with immortality and superpowers. :grillman:

      it does but the ideas they are trying to get funding for are too stupid to work which limits their danger as far as I can tell they are an unintentional grift

        I'm still pissed off at the ideological hijacking of so-called "futurology" and how even the concept of AI is split between bullshit marketing lies about chatbots and fantastical robot gods of the future. It derails discussions and leads lots of people into cognitohazards. :disgost:
