As much as I love a good satire, my experience with the Internet makes me worry that a group of true believers are going to latch onto this campaign and treat it as real, and people playing along with the satire will just be contributing to them.


It took me a bit to detect the irony, and I'm not particularly bad at that. This website simply reads like a lot of serious "green" propaganda.


Literally just a few days ago there was the Ai 2027 posted here that was absurd. BTW, there's an actual researches that made a LinkedIn post about that Ai 2027 article https://www.linkedin.com/posts/timnit-gebru-7b3b407_ive-just...

Is that the right link? It seems mainly randing about Scott Alexander being a eugenicist and Rationalists.


Scott Alexander is one of the writers of the article I was talking about https://ai-2027.com/

To me as well that article reads as fan fiction, but it's no good that when reads like this are taken as truth they become hyperstition (is that a word in English? At least in italian it is. It means self fulfilling prophecy).

I wasn't talking about the original post, sorry for derailing the conversation


>As much as I love a good satire,

Are you sure it is satire?


Yes. One of the about pages calls it satire.
