AI safety is mostly a sex cult

    90% of this is just driven by strong emotional reactions from someone that feels uncomfortable about people being open about their non-standard sexual life, in the same way that many people have weird negative reactions about polyamorous relationships in general.

    The remaining 10% is just the author trying to sprinkle in cult-like insinuations to justify his contempt.

    Regularly meeting with people that have shared interests and ideas is not a cult.

    Finding some of those people attractive and having sex with them is not a cult.

    But somehow the fact that the romantic/sexual relationships are not traditionally monogamous makes it a cult?

      The emotional reaction comes from a deep-seated evolutionary survival mechanism that has served mankind well to present day. Uggo fuck club tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about these people, and more importantly, their thoughts & perceptions. If you join uggo fuck club, your perceptions are off. Why should I value this guy's perceptions & prescriptions relating to ML when he can't even swing the right ones over his own BMI?
