Prices ranging from 18 to 168 USD (why not 19 to 199? Number magic?) But then you get integrated approach of both Western and Chinese physiognomy. Two for one!

Thanks, I hate it!

However, even the accelerationist don’t want Chinese AGI, because insert standard sinophobic rhetoric about how they hate freedom and democracy or have world conquering ambitions or they simply lack the creativity, technical ability, or background knowledge (i.e. lesswrong screeds on alignment) to create an aligned AGI.

I thought in modern US phrenology East Asians were smart? So they just haven't been reached by the holy scripture/ Harry Potter fanfic?

Now I got curious, has there been any attempts of spreading EA to China, and if so how did it go?

Meta claims they have approval. No comments from regulators in sight, no actual decision quoted.

It's not necessarily false, but it does come from the lie and break laws industry, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is a lie.

At least it is a place with bears. Everyone knows that bears love libertarians.

It's easy to read it as first and fourth "world" but it's actually first and fourth "word". But the first and fourth word of what? Mein Kampf? The 18 words?

In OPs post it stuck out to me that Elon counsels his brother on shutting down empathy, to be a better CEO, and the brother complaining about how he, and not Elon, got the empathy gene.

Just coming out and saying that your brother doesn't feel empathy with other people is certainly a choice. So is presenting it as an advantage.

To make this easy and hopefully give this project the push it needs to get off the ground, I’m deactivating the .org accounts of Joost, Karim, Se Reed, Heather Burns, and Morten Rand-Hendriksen. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to try different leadership models or align with WP Engine to join up with their new effort.

The passive-aggressive language and the pettyness is such a combination.

I think it is a reference to Funko calling the Itch guy's mom. Which they apparently did.

The kid herself mostly wants stories “about magic” and with protagonists of about her age.

The horror! What if she grows up reading books she actually likes? She might be developing her mind in ways not approved by her parents!

As long as line goes up nobody knows how rich the perps will be.

And if you don't know how rich the perps will be, how will you know if and how hard they should be punished?

I have been meaning to ask is there an overlap between rationalists and incels? Or do they both overlap with neoreactionaries?

At times their idea world appears close to each other.

Intended as abbreviation, but fair point. And no slight to any actual rattus rattus, if any are acasually lurking from the civilization they will build long after humans wipe themselves out. Impressive animals.

Reasonable explanation of why they write this kind of stuff, thanks. And of course such a culture attracts those who like to write such.
