| I am pretty sure that Altman is just a German version of Oldman. Sorry about ruining your intricate theory :) |

| ▲ | tinfoilhatter 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm confident that anyone who talks about replacing humans with machines, subscribes to the beliefs of Nick Land / Curtis Yarvin / Ray Kurzweil and laughs while making comments about AI destroying humanity is a Luciferian regardless of the origin of their last name :) | | |

| ▲ | fluffybucktsnek 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | While their comment is abbrasive, that's a lot of assumptions about OP. Do you really know what their information source is? The core point remains valid, you could've just skipped the play on "alt-man" and you wouldn't have muddied your argument. | | |
| ▲ | tinfoilhatter 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | They called me a schizo in two separate comments and the only thing I did in my original post, was point out that his name was Altman which could be interpreted as alternate man. I never claimed that it was the etymological root of his name - the folks making the replies got upset for whatever reason and inferred that. Pointing things out that I find interesting to potential readers of my comment, doesn't necessarily muddle my argument. If I had said that alternate man was the origin of his last name, you or the other commenters might have a valid point, but I never did that. If someone is going to make broad assumptions about me and resort to infantile name calling in an attempt to demean me, I have no problem making broad assumptions about them in turn. |

| Nice self-sealing beliefs! "Altman" is from the Middle High German alt meaning "old", not from the
Proto-Indo-European root al- meaning "beyond." Or is English the language of the fates? Edit: this kind of schizoid syncretism is dangerous because it obscures real, empirically verifiable material harms from technology. Every technology is a trade-off. We should follow the advice of (Freemason!!) Benjamin Franklin and not pay too much for our whistle. |

| the username checks out. now let's approach this seriously: > Most of the people pushing [...] are Luciferians and transhumanists. transhumanists - yes. Luciferians - this definition is a lot more broad, branched, and complex. one transhumanist is hell-bent on Christianity (or at least seems to be; also pun intended) and most others have an atheistic position. > Lucifer thought he could do better than God, and many of these crazy people working on, and pushing AI so hard believe they can do the same. that's as far as similarities go, the rest is the usual atheist scientific-method-believing behavior HEAVILY smeared with a bias to their own interests. > Sam Alt-man, (the alternate man) funny coincidence, innit? :) |

Luciferians - this definition is a lot more broad, branched, and complex. one transhumanist is hell-bent on Christianity (or at least seems to be; also pun intended) and most others have an atheistic position. Which transhumanist is hell-bent on Christianity? If you're approaching this seriously then provide names please. There have been plenty of Luciferians that have posed as atheists throughout time and space. Also, there is atheistic Luciferianism, just like there is atheistic Satanism. > funny coincidence, innit? :) There is no such thing as coincidence. | | |

| ▲ | tinfoilhatter an hour ago | parent [-] | | There are many people who claim to be Christian but are not in order to subvert the religion. Pretty much the same with all Abrahamic religions. Peter Thiel definitely doesn't display Christian values. Joel Osteen is a great example - claims to be a Christian but doesn't at all behave like one. Same with Thiel. Freemasonry is Luciferian, yet many of its members claim to be Christian. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q1hnkp5Zqw |

| IDK why I'm helping with the Trashcan Man, but it's been a weird day... >>Most of the people pushing these technologies (A.I., brain chip interfaces, cybernetics, etc...) are Luciferians and transhumanists. I think you can eliminate the word "most" when you say that the people who push brain chip interfaces/cybernetics are transhumanists. That's literally the definition of transhumanism. Just from a grammatical sense, this is akin to saying "most people who exist are human" |
