From their earlier writing on Bitcoin: "but some doubts arose about the aforementioned professor: Saifedean Ammous." Saifedean Ammous might not be an actual professor, or a sane person at least, I assume you all are just as shocked as I am. (E: turns out it is his actual real name, can't make this up).

Sure, but that step comes after the cops lift you out of your bed. And you get a good lawyer etc etc. Nobody was charged after the home visit but it still was a home visit, granted that was in .nl so less risk of being shot or getting your stuff stolen. And that is assuming the law still works.
in real life
Careful not to post things that could get you into trouble with a judge without a sense of humor, or just cops/secret service. Wouldn't be the first time I hear of a home visit because the cops got confused at a joke.
Esp if it turns out the conspiracy theory about the murder being crypto related and they confuse this place for being a pro cryptocurrency place.
E: on topic just not LLMs and artists but also the idea that Musk got Trump elected will cause a backlash. (Which I find dubious, more despite the man, they made the election be about a gay onlyfans support squirrel ffs)
Wtf, Unity is right there.
Well humans are a liquid, we get into everything.
Didn't they at least try to block parliament with buses or something? (A thing easily circumvented with the parliamentarians going 'whereever enough of us gather is parliament, the building has no magical qualities'
Wonder if he did the rightwing thing and just went 'the silent majority agrees with my statements'(*) and just assumed the militaries would be all part of the incel crew and fall in line behind him.
*: On that note there was some cringe thanksgiving video of one of those weird Trump aligned culture war freaks (the daily wire perhaps?) where the freak strides into the thanksgiving event and starts slapping everybody around as some sort of victorious conquerer (at least that is what I imagined was the intended feeling. Not the deranged crazy weirdo vibe it gave off). And this video had a scene which baffled some people, there was a normal guy who was given a big cigar or something and some people were confused why that was a thing. I think that was the imagined '"normal" silent majority guys all secretly agree with me but they are ashamed to act' thing.
I was curious so looked her up. I discovered that there is no rule of law in Chicago and you can just murder people in the streets. And unrelated she did a colab with Gad Saad about her failing dating in the USA or something. Didn't watch the vid, just saw she had a few vids with Saad. (Vids from a year ago which almost nobody watched 35k/15k views. Sad!). On her twitter she has said nothing about SK, but apparently is upset about cancel culture and DEI. The grift is strong with this one.
It certainly shouldn't, but i was talking about the men who misinterpret the book a bit into some sort of love story, and not a creepy unreliable narrator who is trying to convince you he is really the victim here.
E: And don't get me wrong, I don't think 'young person discovers their sexuality and comes to grips with it' is something that should be banned from books or something, it is just annoying to me that so many books have the ~14 year old girls, written by a man, girl gets heavily sexualized by older men (or worse goes for much older man, bonus points if the guy is actually a writer (this is uncommon of course as that is quite specific)), pattern. It feels a bit like creepy wish fulfillment. At my book club we had a period where we noticed that every book we read for a while had the sexualized ~14 year old problem.
Dont think that anybody involved in this is going to be a good person. Of all the people mentioned, Pinker is prob the least worse here. And that is saying much.
I think most of them thought they would be the pumpers and dumpers and not the ones holding the bag. Saw influencers pull the same sort of shit a few years ago. "Here is how I made money quickly scamming others by pump and dumping memes Musk references". (This is still a confidence scam and the blame should be put on the people pulling it and not the dumb greedy victims imho).
