My attempts to come up with what this misogynistic creep would consider a "friendly superintelligence" keep resembling Elliot Rodger's pre-shooting manifesto.
I also noticed the ".eth" crypto name drop. :agony-4horsemen:

What hte fuck?
I clicked on his twitter. It really is sad how much of his politics is just screaming about his breeding kink.
I'd just nod and say "chud" but I :cringe: at all "rationalist" pretenses of "grey tribe" and "politics is the mind killer." It isn't just a mask. It is a stupid mask.
Politivs is the mind killer. That always pissef me.off thr most because what are the skills of skepticism and rationalism for if not thus?
.eth
Rationalist, radical centrist, inventor of the world's greatest infohazard. Early to AI, late to crypto. Truth above virtue.
Opinion discarded
No one virtue signals louder than creepy edgelords who proclaim their lack of virtue.
Also, "Roko's Basilisk" is the stupidest shit imaginable.
It's literally just Pascal's Wager, but for commodity
Pascal’s Wager
Re-inventing tired theological cliches seems to be the primary occupation of a certain subset of "Philosophers"
It's the networking effect, restated. Being in the network yields greater benefits as the size of the network grows.
Benefits of inclusion are real. Detriments of exclusion are also real.
Everything from real estate enclosures to automobiles to cell phones play out like this. Novelty becomes luxury becomes necessity. In the end, if you don't have these things and facilitate their growth, you suffer up to the point of death.
It can't be stupid! "Rationalists" and :melon-musk: are really into it!
Why the fuck are futurist/rationalist bro so enamoured with that shit, it's literally just the plot of Terminator.
There is an entire legion of people who looked at all the cautionary dystopian movies of the 80s and went “this but ironically” and it drives me insane
I think what he means in the bottom is that feminism goes against the "traditional" system, or maybe he even thinks it's biological and natural, and that therefore going against the patriarchy will result in the death of all women because it is unnatural. The cognitive dissonance allowing to think disrupting the traditional money market with crypto is good and the only way to survive, or creating an AI is essential despite being literally against nature, while thinking the rights of women and brown people is crazy nonsense that will end society is so powerful you could run a city off of it if you harnessed it.
"Unnatural" is a weird thing to be upset about by a bunch of tech cultists that crave a machine god to make them immortal so they can conquer the universe as digital parasites.
It's the same way new atheists hate religious authority and old-fashioned and stupid but unnervingly think women should shut up and "obey their maternal instincts." A bunch of young white guys hate any kind of authority over them, but love authority over others, and will dismantle systems holding them back while doubling down those against others.
Richard "Swan Battler" Dawkins of "Dear Muslima" infamy gave many of those "rationalists" the "cultural Christianity" :brainworms: and that eventually lead them to :jordan-eboy-peterson: , in my experience.
completely correct, from my observations.
I have a feeling what he really means here is "If feminists got what they wanted it would make me and my gang of psychopaths kill all women." because I don't see any feminists out there calling for the execution of women.
Unless of course they're misusing the word "women" here to refer to their pencil skirt/trad dress wearing caricature of a woman heavily under the thumb of patriarchy. I suspect "woman" here is being deliberately misused to refer to their concept of a woman, her appearance and her behaviour should be.
I'm pretty sure what that high lord bazinga brain meant was killing off the idea of tradwives that are 100% virgin and never think about sex until that special moment where they see one particular Ready Player One protagonist wannabe and become his cheerful slave... and join the rest of his harem. :disgost:
Right so "women" here to them is simply a concept of behavioural and appearance standards. Because feminists don't like it they consider feminists to be "killing women".
They just say "women" because it allows a broad coalition of people with different concepts of "women" to align even if one thinks women should be tradwives or another thinks women should be the pencil skirt and heels wearing office totty.
