I am an actual toaster fucker, with the only saving grace being that the form of toaster fucking I fetishize is physically impossible.
Aella is as far away from being a toaster fucker as an allosexual person can possibly be.
Y'all are still frothing sexists who can't read.
the worst thing that can happen to you on the internet is not joining the toaster fucker discord, it's joining the sneer-at-toaster-fuckers subreddit. the fuckers fuck a toaster and go live life, but the sneers spend 24/7 thinking about fucking toasters
this tweet is about Aella

You hate Aella because you are a "posthuman maximalist" who lays awake at night in terror of cooties.

We are not the same.

Is she the biggest threat posed by social conservatism to society's sanity? Obviously not, lol.
Is she, ironically, the most sexually illiberal person vying for top-level memetic frame control of glowfic-adjacent women and queers? Yes! And she's winning by EF advantage!

You hate Aella because she could lead an an army into battle better than you.

For anyone to whom it may occur to quote tweet this to dunk on the trender who scored in the 49th female percentile for "Social Threat Sensitivity":
It was mostly because I answered "Extremely Afraid" to "How afraid would you be if a friend called you a rapist on social media?".

There's a type of quasi-schismatic even more credulous than the Darioites, and it's the Bryan Johnson encouragers. You'll often see them adopting Blanchard's beliefs in performative skepticism of tucutism, and condemning Luigi supporters in performative skepticism of Maoism.

If Darioites believe Moloch is the lesser of two evils, Johnson credulists believe Moloch is logically impossible, and all evil in the world comes from lazy attention whores and class clowns.

Some sigh, pointing to groups of perceived lazy attention whores and class clowns, who are "not waiting their turn", "disrupting due process", "going too far", etc., and say "Moloch, amirite?"

I'm confused again about what a subspecies is supposed to be. There seems to be no clear-headed writing on them. My default assumption has been that they're an imaginary category like dialects and speciation generally happens very quickly. Can any biologists clear this up for me?

[For an example of the DEGREE of well-akshually-ism that's possible here, I could say to Omega, please preserve endangered species, and it could erect barriers and fuck with their pheromone sensoria until the gene pool count just happened to be very low.]

To get even more pedantic, you could say that what determines species and language status is whether the memes/genes are mutually shuffling in the meme/gene pool.
But that bare definition is very vulnerable to well-akshually-ism, so I just say behavior to preempt that.

[ The possibility of the above for *animals* depends on a sufficient proportion of endangered species sharing some heredity/morphology AND chromosome counts, but since few animals have >100, count collisions are quite likely to happen by chance—AND, PLANTS don't care! ]

Sometimes I read articles like this and wonder if I'm going insane. The CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world, who is perhaps as much as anyone responsible for the current AI buildout, fundamentally misunderstands what he's building.
"Importantly, human capital does not become less valuable as token capital grows"
No. This is obviously only a temporary state of affairs. Centaur chess did not last forever. There was a brief period of time in which human judgment complemented AI's advantages in brute-force search. Then AI became better at that subjective judgment and humans became liabilities in all aspects of chess.
We are already in the centaur phase for general economic activity right now. AI is already writing almost all the code. It's doing a bunch of the back end research and analysis for lawyers and doctors and biologists.
This is a brief, transitory period. If you're thinking about "the future of the firm in an AI-driven economy" and imagining humans using AI tools, you're not really thinking about the future. You're thinking about the next 12-18 months.
Every time I read another article like this it reinforces the same conclusions: the people pushing hardest to create AGI fundamentally misunderstand the future they're creating.
Satya clearly SEES the risks, but just basically just says "let's not do this", as if unilateral disarmament is an option in the international arms race he's helping to fuel. As if we can just CHOOSE not to hollow out every company in the world. As if every frontier lab in the world didn't spend the last five years hoovering up copyrighted material to train frontier models on, against the protestations of the artists and writers whose economic value they were cannibalizing.
It won't be so easy to put this genie back in the bottle.
