AI safety is mostly a sex cult
the guy who posted this is also a singularity fanatic, but this is a good enough summary
It's a catchy summary because he leans into the weird sex stuff instead of say the cosmism aspect, but the writer is a knob who doesn't like EA/rats for basically the same reasons as Peter Thiel, so take him with a grain of salt.
He's also likened anti-data center activism to jewish pogroms and believes that AI resentment can be summed up as "curing cancer is less important than my job satisfaction".
You also have to transcribe all the screenshots and google them to trace them back to source. RationalWiki his thread is not.
