That's because you know that TESCREAL has entered common usage and aren't under the illusion, like these people, that it hasn't lol.

Lol well the CEO of a gazillion dollar company got triggered by the term sir. Your cult tried to take it down from Wikipedia and succeed at first but it came back and they couldn't succeed the second time. Cope 😂

😂😂😂 I dunno its also that we're living in such strange times that its hard to detect the sarcasm when the talking point is exactly the same.

Timnit Gebru @timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026

addressing this. Every random person has been saying this, so didn't even think it could be sarcasm.

Timnit Gebru @timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026

I didn't realize the poster was being sarcastic until they said it below. This is a major talking point of Anthropic & the overall TESCREAL bundle. Every time I'm on the media that's what they're saying, so much so that we're literally working on a technical explainer at the moment...

Timnit Gebru @timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026

This is a major talking point so I can't tell when someone saying this is being sarcastic.

I was just sitting around, on my front porch, twiddling my thumbs and yelling "stochastic parrots" at passers by. That's all I've been doing. And remember, I'm a "critic."

You should never excuse rape and rape culture that survivors put their lives on the line to expose.

Timnit Gebru @timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026

You should never gaslight people talking about abuse and eugenics at any level and argue that "XYZ is more important than that."

Timnit Gebru @timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026

No. Whatever abuse we discussed aren't only about their "personal lives."

"In 2021, co-founder Anna Salamon, by then CFAR’s president, acknowledged that at least three employees had effectively been compelled to undergo “debugging,” the community’s term for intervention in a person’s own psychology." Totally normal.

This is the same Jaan Tallinn who led Anthropic's series A and same Tallinn who funds METR (rogue models "third party 🙄 auditor) also same Tallinn who cofounded The Future of Life Institute which is advising @sanders.senate.gov & his alliance with Steve Bannon 🙄

"The respectable press treated the book as the moment AI risk became serious...Jaan Tallinn..went further than reading: he co-founded the Future of Life Institute & Cambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, seeded both with his own 💰, & became a prominent donor to Bostrom’s institute"

Once again, your "liberal" publications are the ones that launder eugenics and race science into the mainstream

"a New Yorker profile described the achievement as the imposition of academic rigor on a messy body of ideas from the margins, and the book’s menu of safety proposals includes Yudkowsky’s own ideas. Now, Bostrom sits on MIRI’s advisory board."

Oh look Curtis Yarvin is in this cult too! "Yarvin was not an outsider to the rationalist community; he had been posting in the community’s own forums before he started his own blog, and by 2011 LessWrong’s annual survey was asking members whether they had been influenced by him..."

I read the Duncan post in sections over the course of days. It's got *so much* info and if you're like me you might need to go slow to absorb the reality of the cult-think. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that these people have multi-national influence on every aspect of our lives.

"In 2025 the book he co-wrote with MIRI’s executive director, Nate Soares, about why superhuman AI would kill us all, made the New York Times bestseller list." The New York Times, amplifying eugenicists into the mainstream for more than a century.

Your favorite Anthropic so-called "whistleblower" said that the rationalists have "specialized minds" that allow them to see that the end is about to be brought on to us by a magical machine god. Parroting the cult leader (of the rationalists, the R in TESCREAL) who says the same about himself.

His autobiography even opens with a parable: as a small child he threw his favorite squirtgun off a third-floor balcony rather than accept that his mother could lend out what was his, and felt complete when he heard it hit the pavement. He goes on to describes himself as a specialist in the technological transformation of the human species, one of the few people alive with the standing to steer it. He identifies with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the one person who sees the danger clearly and has to act while everyone else gets on with ordinary life.

Again, journalists, what are you doing?👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 The most mind blowing thing about these people is that they are so out in the open with their eugenics & predatory cults. Epstein wasn't as out in the open (at least from what I see now). Everything is right there for you to expose them once & for all!

My ex-husband is one of the rapists at Aella’s simulated rape orgies that John Wentworth, Nate Soares, and I’ve heard Eliezer Yudkowsky also attended. He was an emotionally abusive partner and, until I left EA/rationality, he used the cult to keep me trapped. Journalists please DM.
