In March of this year but I haven't seen it reported at all:

I’m not four years old with a 13 year old “brother” climbing into my bed non-consensually anymore.

(You’re welcome for helping you figure out your sexuality.)

I’ve finally accepted that you’ve always been and always will be more scared of me than I’ve been of you

Here is a comprehensive post about this (at an awful community I would ordinarily not link to).

It's noteworthy that she has been saying these things since 2021 and there has apparently been zero media coverage of it, including no mention of it in the initial news reports about him being fired yesterday.

Before clicking the link, I was thinking "C'mon HackerNews isn't that bad!"

After clicking the link and seeing where you actually linked to, "Yeah, ok, that checks out."

It is. It is that bad. I have never had to suffer such inane ramblings before i stumbled on that shithole years ago.

Careful indeed: this is from lesswrong, the biggest band of techbro freaks this side of the orange website; also highly connected to the cultish, insane, sex-pest-filled movement that calls itself "effective altruism". This article may be OK though (the comments, not so much, as usual) - mostly an evidence dump it seems.

Roko of Roko's Basilisk fame is in the comments, and all you need to know about his response is that it contains the phrase "the metoo world order"

The "grey tribe" showing how nonpolitical it is by being ideologically indistinguishable from MAGA boomers again.

i'd place it solidly on the other side of the orange website

This article does seem OK at a quick glance though (the comments, not so much, as usual) - mostly an evidence dump it seems.

that was my conclusion as well

Maybe they meant YCombinator.

I did, but so did @[email protected] I'm pretty sure; their point was that LW people are worse than the YC/orange ones, and they're right.

Should rehost the evidence dump here. Or something.

It does not require psychosis to make wrong interpretations or to have mild paranoia. It merely requires not being a dedicated rationalist

capitaldcolon No way! a CEO is a pedophile?

Is this why he was fired?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Given that the allegations predate the firing, and the fact that other senior members are resigning (the President/co-founder and other senior researchers) I actually doubt that it's 100% due to the allegations, and probably something banal/business-related. Could be personal fraud or impressions of fraud, but if the people who actually know why the board fired Altman are also ducking out, I doubt they'd have such open solidarity over sex offenses.

"Effective altruists" stop being even worse people than I previously realized challenge. Difficulty level: libertarian-approaching

In my family, we had bullying down the line (my sisters bullied me, I bullied my year younger brother). Much of it was probably when I was 13. I apologised to my brother but I still feel like shit about it.

We already knew he was a libertarian
