Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

another banger from Roko, definitely a thinker of a time. I would first guess that this time it was a trans woman he came onto and she kicked him in the nuts (x.com)

Women have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making babies

The first niche will be taken by sexbots

The second by artificial wombs

Society will suddenly realize it doesn't need women and those in power will quickly start replacing and disempowering them.

People like to consider the positive implications of technology but they don't like to consider the negative implications

The smart strategy for women would be to ban ALL of the following:

sexbots

artificial wombs

trans women

Nobody except women should be allowed to look sexy(feminine sexy), look female or bear children.

To some extent TERF women like @jk_rowling are smart enough to realize that it's essential to defend the female monopoly on this stuff. But the average woman just isn't strategic enough to go along with this, and there's (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.

Men have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making phallic machines

The first niche will be taken by sexbots

The second, entertainingly, also by sexbots

Society will suddenly realize it doesn’t need men and those in power will quickly start replacing and disempowering them.

People like to consider the positive implications of technology but they don’t like to consider the negative implications

The smart strategy for men would be to ban ALL of the following:

 sexbots
 artificial dongs
 transformers

Nobody except men should be allowed to look sexy(manly sexy), look male or be bears.[1]

To some extent TUFF men like @RokoMijic are smart enough to realize that it’s essential to defend the male monopoly on this stuff. But the average man just isn’t strategic enough to go along with this, and there’s (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.

Wait, are we banning electrical boxes that transfer electrical energy between electrical circuits, or trucks that turn into weird little guys or sometimes are cassette tapes that turn into cats?

I can’t tell which one is a viable replacement for men.

Take Optimus Prime, for example:

Pros:

Strong as a Mac Truck
v tall
kind to children and animals
leads by building consensus
woke af

Cons:

Smells like diesel fumes
~~not good for cuddles~~ (Edit: new information has come to light!)

Counterpoint: I have read fanfiction where Optimus Prime is a pretty solid cuddler.
