    > A sex worker from Idaho who became one of the subculture’s most-read writers and now runs an AI-doom propaganda residency with Grimes, Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend.

    I hate that I know who that is from this scant description.

    > A splinter sect that fled to tugboats and whose members have been linked to six deaths. And a blogger who wanted to abolish democracy, found the ear of several billionaire patrons, and watched his ideas come to fruition in the vice president’s office.

    Actually fuck I know who all of these people are.

      Yeah, I did too. But it doesn’t mean we’re, like, hanging out with ‘em

      Although perhaps we are excessively online

        I think I’m comfortable, even though the aspersion is on me, saying that anyone who can recognize Aella is too chronically online.

        The zizians were a national headline and you only need to be plugged into US politics a little bit to know of Curtis yarvin given his influence on Peter thiel, musk, and Vance so I’d give knowledge of them a pass

        Edit: I also know of the sanely diagram meme for her so that’s even more evidence. Maybe I should detox off the internet for a bit

          I dunno, I think a ton of people remember the garden gnomes (I know I do, when I saw the name I was like "nah, can't be", but then I googled lmao)
