It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
My attempts to come up with what this misogynistic creep would consider a "friendly superintelligence" keep resembling Elliot Rodger's pre-shooting manifesto.
I also noticed the ".eth" crypto name drop. :agony-4horsemen:

What hte fuck?
I clicked on his twitter. It really is sad how much of his politics is just screaming about his breeding kink.
I have a feeling what he really means here is "If feminists got what they wanted it would make me and my gang of psychopaths kill all women." because I don't see any feminists out there calling for the execution of women.
Unless of course they're misusing the word "women" here to refer to their pencil skirt/trad dress wearing caricature of a woman heavily under the thumb of patriarchy. I suspect "woman" here is being deliberately misused to refer to their concept of a woman, her appearance and her behaviour should be.

Rationalist, radical centrist, inventor of the world's greatest infohazard. Early to AI, late to crypto. Truth above virtue.

Why the fuck are futurist/rationalist bro so enamoured with that shit, it's literally just the plot of Terminator.
There is an entire legion of people who looked at all the cautionary dystopian movies of the 80s and went “this but ironically” and it drives me insane
Also, "Roko's Basilisk" is the stupidest shit imaginable.
It's literally just Pascal's Wager, but for commodity

Re-inventing tired theological cliches seems to be the primary occupation of a certain subset of "Philosophers"
It's the networking effect, restated. Being in the network yields greater benefits as the size of the network grows.
Benefits of inclusion are real. Detriments of exclusion are also real.
Everything from real estate enclosures to automobiles to cell phones play out like this. Novelty becomes luxury becomes necessity. In the end, if you don't have these things and facilitate their growth, you suffer up to the point of death.
I think what he means in the bottom is that feminism goes against the "traditional" system, or maybe he even thinks it's biological and natural, and that therefore going against the patriarchy will result in the death of all women because it is unnatural. The cognitive dissonance allowing to think disrupting the traditional money market with crypto is good and the only way to survive, or creating an AI is essential despite being literally against nature, while thinking the rights of women and brown people is crazy nonsense that will end society is so powerful you could run a city off of it if you harnessed it.
