| I'm going to be fucking irritated if we all die because BlueSky posters wanted to take pot-shots at the EA crowd. The Boy Who Cried Wolf is _also_ a story about how a community lost a child because of cynicism, and the people proudly declaring that they "know" every safety concern is just a marketing ploy also concerns me. |

| If we all die because of AI, it will be because of the uses that people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey put it to, not because of a robot uprising. |

| I think it's more of a Chicken Little situation. Then the wolf ate us all up. |

| I have great news then, that absolutely isn't going to happen. And the EA crowd deserves all of the potshots and more |

| I'd rather have the world end than live in a world where EAs are listened to or respected. |

| ▲ | lbrito an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yes. Their core belief system is morally abhorrent. | | | |
| ▲ | jplusequalt 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yes. Sam Bankman Fried was/is an EA/rationalist (on the short list of biggest fraudsters in American history). So are the Zizian's (a murder cult). etc. etc. | | |
| ▲ | againstapples 21 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I don’t see why I would judge a whole group based on isolated examples? | |
| ▲ | Viliam1234 an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | SBF maybe, but Ziz declared rationalists to be their main enemy | | |
| ▲ | shimman an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah, similar to like how southern baptists declared evangelicals to be their enemy too for not being fanatical enough. Death cults are weird like that. | |
