Saying they're dumb and incurious offers almost too much respect. They believe in racial eugenics based on IQ - look at the kind of shit Elon Musk retweets. Scaremongering about fertility is just the way they get to the racial eugenics, while pretending it's a necessity not a choice.

Edit: and now I see froztbyte said almost the same thing first. Oops

"socialism or barbarism you say? well maybe barbarism has its upsides"

Grindr has been used to out people everywhere from Palestine to Egypt to Chechnya to America, so training a chaotic, insecure LLM on user data seems like the privacy disaster from hell.

Yeah there is no land to "acquire" that isn't already important to somebody, and there is no nation you can create without coming into conflict with existing nations or tribes. Terra nullius doesn't exist!

Always a good sign when your big plan is virtually identical to L. Ron Hubbard's big plan in the 70s.

I mean in this article they claim that girlfriend will be able to have seven kids, spaced a year and a half apart, and homeschool them, and still keep her career. They're obviously not too concerned about contradictory statements.

Everyone's least favourite rationalist couple

I thought Thatcher on Acid was a band from the 80s, not the EAies' approach to economic policy

Is it an offence against the church for a group of lay theologians to ordain an AI? no idea. It is very funny though

Ok I thought this was about euthanasia but I clicked through and he's basically just advocating for family annihilation??? There's no way THIS could go wrong, huh??

"Put another way, even if one believes abortion is permissible, it likely remains a comparable problem to any problem of infant mortality – but with even more lost life-years, and occurring on a much larger scale than infant mortality".

Well, it isn't comparable, because abortion prevents forced birth, and forced birth is a form of torture. As indeed is being forced to care for a child in poverty.

"Other responses to Thomson highlight various other disanalogies between pregnancy and the violinist situation: In most cases of abortion, the woman is responsible for both the child’s neediness and their intimate biological relationship with the woman – unlike the violinist case.

Bit of a bold statement, and likely untrue. It is impossible for a woman to know even when having unprotected sex if it will result in a pregnancy. Contraceptive technologies fail. And what about the responsibility of the father? It takes two.

"n the case of abortion, the woman is the mother of the child[6] – unlike the violinist case.[7]"

Ok, this is meaningless.

"The violinist is in an unnatural situation and being hooked up to the stranger is an unnatural position – by contrast, the fetus is exactly where she is supposed to be in her ‘natural habitat’."

Not in my womb, it isn't, motherfucker!

Quite a lot of pregnancies end early in miscarriage.

you could add monetizes existing human relationships as well for the meme NFTs. And obscene levels of waste considering it uses blockchain and cryptocurrency
