I wrote a critique of the book Hayek's Bastards, to which the author replies here. I encourage people to read the piece and decide for themselves how much his reply speaks to it.

"You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone." -James Baldwin

'Once we have properly accounted for indirect effects, such as the role that our policies play in shaping moral attitudes and behavior . . . we can see that consequentialism may converge with animal rights theory significantly, even if not entirely.'

'Chatbots of the dead are chatbots designed to converse in ways that resemble specific dead people. We argue that chatbots of the dead are continuous with representations found in art, like memoir and theater, and function as props that mandate and prompt imaginal interactions with the deceased.'
