What the actual fuck do these people believe???
If I had to summarize it, they believe in scifi handwaves and have taken them far beyond mere logical conclusions.
From the US department of not beating those allegations.
What's the Rationalist reaction to these developments? Are there any vestigial AI-fearers that haven't switched over to straight up Phrenology like Slatescott and are currently genuinely still worried about the apocalypse because of this?
Can't people run it locally supposedly?
Awesome, I no longer have to link to leaked emails to convince people he's a phrenologist, he just went and wrote a nice succinct article laying it out.
I didn't think today was gonna be a day where I'd read about sounding then breaking glass rods but here we are.

So much this

It's dream logic.
The point was SSCers reacting. Vance being an SSCer isn't notable as he's a Thiel creature. SSCers being confronted with the eyeshadowed mirror that is Vance is much more interesting because they spend a lot of time being nominally not exactly what Vance is.

The writing has been on the wall since they reprinted Alpha as non playable $250 packs.
