I fear not a content-deep sneer, but a simple one of character.

Is Sam altman not an EA?

I’d figure he was. Or at least a rationalist?

Answering those questions would require EA and rationalism to be well-defined & coherent philosophies rather than reactionary moods

What’s next, you’re going to tell me all their priors and Bayesian reasoning are just using made up numbers?

He'd probably describe himself as a postrat or something? I fucking hate the fact that I know that. Time to log off

Basically a sect of Twitter shitposters who've absorbed Yudkowsky's ramblings but inverted them into a mantra for insane neoliberal accelerationism. A version of Nick Land where all esotericism has been replaced by semi-ironically drooling over "alpha" and how based Bezos is. Terminally online, far less funny and learned than they believe themselves to be.

this is a far more intelligent comment than most of the academic scholarship i read on these issues

I feel like academic discussion really needs an “these people are fucking morons, do we really need to discuss this?” escape valve.

I'm morbidly curious about these papers

I am mostly (but not only) thinking of the wide range of papers that take Nick Land seriously. check Google Scholar or [academia.edu](https://academia.edu) for his name. but only if you have some anti-nausea medication handy

No anti-nausea meds unfortunately. Just a bucket of amphetamine, the perfect snack for late-night Land binges

I think that's Master Splinter in some continuities.

Dont think that, like breadtube, it is that well defined. (This is meant in addition to what others said here btw).

He thinks he’s a prominent EA??
