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
We already knew he was a libertarian
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.
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.”
Here is a comprehensive post about this (at an awful community I would ordinarily not link to).
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.
Do I even want to ask what “effective altruism” even is? To my ears it sounds like “We’ll be nice only when we feel like it, and justify our shitty behaviour when we don’t.”
Other people have answered you but I also suggest this series of short articles: Extropia’s Children (CW: cultish and sex pest stuff in the latter chapters); including how it became somehow linked (both in its inception and as some sort of bible to these freaks) to a harry potter fanfic; how it includes a weird obsession with Bayesian probabilities; how they of course jumped on crypto immediately, and how the general movement ends up with cultish “mental debugging sessions” and much darker stuff.
Most charities are scams. So be a tech bro get rich and start your own that you know will work. Start charities in the 3rd world where your US money goes farther. If we all solve all the little problems one by one eventually the big problems won’t be so bad and we can fix them to. Also, hyper exploitative capitlaism is the only possible system and nothing about the status quo can change.
The coherent argument for “effective altruism” is that you should make a bunch of money and use it to buy mosquito nets and give them away for free.
But even that version of EA is just a sideshow, because all of the big spenders in the movement are people spending on AI research because they believe (this is not a joke) that in the future an AI will come into existence that will invent time travel and torture everybody who didn’t contribute to creating it for eternity. And in the short term they pay for these “donations” by doing finance scams, they’re a major force behind crypto and NFTs.
This is the kind of stuff that Sam Bankman-Fried blew all of his depositors’ money on.

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 biggest band of techbro freaks this side of the orange website
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
