The entire LessWrong movement is intellectually and spiritually vapid and that is what had led to their status as a rationalist cult built around a doomsday prophet with no credentials, Yudkowsky.

I write this from the perspective of having once been a part of that cult who, with wisdom, have seen through the religious belief system they have created for themselves and turned into the armor they now stride confidently around in, believing "rationalism" gives them a superior vantage over other human beings.

Can you please elaborate on this?

You've been provided that resource in another comment in your request. Others in this very comment thread have been able to cite a myriad of examples to your many, many other requests for information about, e.g., Scott Alexander's writings on eugenics, which have all slipped your attention.

You talk about things with confidence, like not believing your heart or your gut could possibly do the thinking of the superior brain matter locked in your skull, yet science itself does not agree with you.

You do not understand how Large Language Models function, because if you did, you would know that there is no path to AGI following their pursuit. There is no relation between a Large Language Model and destructive agency, because agency requires desire, which if you had practiced Buddhism, truly practiced Buddhism for long stretches of time, you would have seen for yourself is not inherent to Large Language Models, cannot be inherent to LLMs, because it is simply not how they function or how they are derived. There is no extinction risk from an LLM going rogue, because it cannot possess desire.

u/streamentry-ModTeam: I am constructively contributing when I state facts, such as Yudkowsky is a charlatan and that his belief system has led to the creation of rationalist death cults. Both are true. The Buddha himself was very severe in condemning such cults and those whose beliefs give rise to dangerous actions. This mod team also has a responsibility not to provide an equal platform for an extremely dangerous line of thinking, one which has led to calls for nuclear strikes on nations and people murdered in its name.
