What are other fantasy series similar to Harry Potter but by authors who are not actively attacking trans rights? (piefed.social)

HPMoR author is an AI techbro with some real bad opinions. and unlike jk, they are apparent in the book on a first read.

HPMoR never really clicked for me.

This just reminded me the author was a bit controversial, this page addresses those ("Controversy and Criticism" section): https://fanlore.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Methods_of_Rationality

AI techbro? Eliezer Yudkowsky is an AI Safety expert, and I don't know his opinions related to other non-AI things

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

he's a techbro in that his understanding of ai safety is based on a religious belief that it will one day kill us all. his opinions on ai safety are not useful.

It's not a religious belief, lol. It actually makes sense, if you understand AI. If you don't, you could try watching the YouTube channel Robert Miles to learn more about the science of this.
