Raised by wolves until I was old enough to know better. XML weapons specialist & digital locksmith. I know things are bad, but we can make them better. Half of what I post is just me repeating what QTBIPOC comrades have said in my whitest cisthet voice. Fuck fascism and cars. Typo catches and clarifying questions always welcome. searchable via tootfinder.ch

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.
Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.
Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

It's funny how those ultra-long-term decisions always seem to benefit the Tech Bro oligarchs & billionaires and their increasing wealth today as well, allegedly, as the intended beneficiaries - the notional humungous swarms of human beings who will have colonised the Cosmos in the far future, but never we, the ordinary people, who are alive around us today.
