They specifically uninvited accelerationists. Only AI safetyists were invited to the gangbang, so those wanting to slightly pump the brakes on the AI that will dominate the world achieved climax. They may or may not be involved in building the AI that wins.

I am now getting a friend suggestion for Ruddo on Facebook and it has me very worried about where and how I let the lines between my real life and my RM life start to blur.

im pretty stringent in what i "allow" and block on social media. i have fun with it instead of doomscrolling like most
