We are here to talk about something that I have not wanted to talk about at all.
I have fought tooth and nail to not talk about it.
We are talking about Alia, the e-girl, and the rationalists from Silicon Valley.
These people were the internet, the world as we know it, and are increasingly crashing out and fighting to stay relevant.
And Ayla is probably the smelliest one.
So we picked her to talk about all of this.
But we're gonna get all into that in a bit.
Let's first talk about kind of the basic facts of this.
So do either of you have like a good working definition for like what rationalists are?
but it's the ideology that's spreading across Silicon Valley right now.
So let's dig into their culture, shall we?
Basically, the rationalists, the effective altruists, the effective accelerationists, all these people believe that AI is inevitable, and they're trying to come up with philosophical frameworks for dealing with this inevitable God-level superintelligence that we would create.
So the effective altruists believe that you can fix all of society's ills by...
over adapting to the free market like even more so sort of like that like human misery is a math problem that can be solved by money effective accelerationists believe that like ai will destroy the world and they want it to so they can build a new one those freaks those people they're free i do not understand so yeah i i i cannot understand how we have not like put them in like the the fucking uh like swamp yet like i don't understand it's such an anti-human perspective to take and you're and they're human obviously yeah
The phrase that I use for a lot of these people is that we just got to dig a big hole and put them in it.
They just don't really belong in society.
