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?

Yeah.

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.

And most of the people we'll be talking about today do not belong in society, which is why they're so interested in building a new, worse one.

Which brings us to Ayla, which will show us what happens to a brain when it's exposed to rationalism.

So I did not know this.

When do you guys think Ayla appeared on the internet?

Where do you think she comes from?

Because this surprised me.

Well, so I thought she sort of clipped through, like, the wall between her dimension and ours around 2020.

Like, you know, the dime score vibe shift seems to have spawned her into life.

But no, yeah, June is right.

I did not know this.

She started as a cam girl on 4chan.
