for real though, i keep saying important people specifically say "AI will help with climate change" and like... how, dude? by burning a ton of energy to think really hard about it with its magic brain powers? like, what is the actual concrete help here supposed to be, for real. is this just the new "crypto incentivizes switching to green energy"? :/
Kelsey Piper is a senior writer at Future Perfect, Vox’s effective altruism-inspired section on the world’s biggest challenges.
Sounds like it. I'm kind of surprised they're still making the association so explicit now that effective altruism is more well-known in the mainstream and has a fairly bad public image due to the FTX thing
The whole "autogynephilia" thing has always kind of struck me as similar to the "you gotta stay constantly vigilant because the devil is constantly trying to tempt men into having gay sex" thing. Like, yeah, if you conceptualize it as pathological, you're gonna feel like there's something wrong with you. But it only feels weird when you're feeling it from the "wrong side," so to speak.
(later edit: it turns out maybe I don't actually know what autogynephilia is, so I might be confused...)
I think this blog got posted to sneerclub before though and yeah it's kinda too sad to make fun of. This post is a couple years old now but it looks like they're still blogging in this vein... I hope eventually they're able to come to terms with their true feelings.
be here or be sneer, i guess
i sort of depend on this community to not go insane working in tech, so i'm happy it's continuing
they really missed out not calling it the 'Bitadel'
