Yeah, I’ve had the misfortune of meeting some of them irl. Like, theoretically I’m all for people engaging in informal academics, striving to be more thoughtful, and generally trying to challenge their thoughts and be better. However, these people keep going on insane paths such as inventing a hell based on artificial intelligence using game theory to ensure it gets created and so fucking much race science.
Unfortunately these people are increasingly relevant to everyone’s lives. Sam Altman comes out of it, as did the effective altruism movement and Sam Bankman Freid. They’ve got a strong following in Silicon Valley and have some overlap with the technofascism movement coming out of it.
