It's noteworthy that she has been saying these things since 2021 and there has apparently been zero media coverage of it, including no mention of it in the initial news reports about him being fired yesterday.

Before clicking the link, I was thinking "C'mon HackerNews isn't that bad!"

After clicking the link and seeing where you actually linked to, "Yeah, ok, that checks out."

Here is a comprehensive post about this (at an awful community I would ordinarily not link to).

Careful indeed: this is from lesswrong, the biggest band of techbro freaks this side of the orange website; also highly connected to the cultish, insane, sex-pest-filled movement that calls itself "effective altruism". This article may be OK though (the comments, not so much, as usual) - mostly an evidence dump it seems.

Roko of Roko's Basilisk fame is in the comments, and all you need to know about his response is that it contains the phrase "the metoo world order"

i'd place it solidly on the other side of the orange website

This article does seem OK at a quick glance though (the comments, not so much, as usual) - mostly an evidence dump it seems.

that was my conclusion as well

Maybe they meant YCombinator.

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

I did, but so did @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml I'm pretty sure; their point was that LW people are worse than the YC/orange ones, and they're right.

Should rehost the evidence dump here. Or something.

It does not require psychosis to make wrong interpretations or to have mild paranoia. It merely requires not being a dedicated rationalist
