Great read. Thank you.

Wouldn't you want to write about what the existential risk or more specifically AI safety research entails? I really can't imagine much if anything about it. Except doing thought experiments.

I already got one strike for reading one of their books aloud on YouTube without a disclaimer. Should I go 2 for 2?

There are two main issues with Kaczinsky's theory: 1) small scale technologies are not characterically distinct from large scale. The seed of human ingenuity pervades. 2) he's a hypocrite. He uses "fc" in the pluralist way that he critiques leftists for. He calls for support but critiques the way leftists do it. It's virtually the same.
