Oh, you're worried about a Jewish guy's apocalyptic cult? You're scandalized that they consort with prostitutes? You think their message of compassion for everyone threatens normal bonds of family, community, and nation? Should we throw you a party? Should we invite Pontius Pilate?

a secular Jew rationalist lecturing Christians on what how his cult is morally equivalent to Christianity is repellant at best and satanic at worst why do yearn for the moral authority of Christianity anyway, a religion you disdain? feeling a little rudderless?

Did Jesus fuck the prostitutes tho? Or did he tell them to stop being prostitutes? I think that's kind of a critical detail...

Quality bait, but needs a correction. Jesus was controversial not because of compassion lectures, but because he claimed to be the Creator of the universe. Which would fit your attempt to compare Him to Yudkowsky and EAs all the more. 🫡

You think we should crucify Yud? I get that he's annoying, but that seems a bit much, no?

Most people are giving you crap for this because it’s tasteless and disrespectful, but I’d expect rationalists to ignore the boundaries of good taste. I’m more disappointed by the fact that it’s a really stupid and lazy analogy

OK, I thought about this more. and while it is a good joke, and a way of transmuting your feelings about whatever is going on, you should probably be more worried about the fact that Berkeley rats exhibit a lot of signs of a high demand group, and that many young and vulnerable people have been harmed by the actions of the people you are referring to in this post. I like to think that one can expire to rationality without participating in that dynamic. I do it myself. But I think you should seriously consider whether or not you are carrying water for people who do evil, and whether you want your messaging to be subject to the trade-offs involved.

You're mocking the contemporaneous Jews for being alarmed at Jesus, implicitly, since you think AI safety is fine. But, this doesn't really make sense. It was because of apocalyptic cults like the Christians that the Jews were obliterated by Rome. The fear was warranted
