there is a meaningful distinction in your level of internet poisoning depending on whether you know the lore around HPMOR or not
Everyone on here is filled with a fresh batch or loathing for JK Rowling, so it seems like a good time to bring up that a shockingly large number of leaders within the AI world know each other because they were all part of a niche fandom that centered around a pretentious Harry Potter fanfic.

I'm *pretty* sure HPMOR is just the death cult. the sex cult came
the sex cult manifested afterwards

Sure, I may have had a cringe Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy fanfic phase but at least I never got into Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, a fic so cursed that now the entire AI industry is involved in a sex/death cult based on it

I really miss the days where HPMOR was a fun piece of internet brain poisoning I could share with other too-online sickos and not the foundation of the companies now running half the economy
I'm back, I missed you all.
Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that
AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult.
I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?)
