Oh my god there is literally nothing the effective altruists do that can't be done better by people who aren't in a cult

All I can say is bring it on. These guys seem to assume women will be furious about being replaced in this hypothetical scenario. I imagine most women would be relieved to have more free time and greater opportunities. Losing your role is only scary if you have benefited from your social position.

Sure, you can observe people's chromosomes, I guess, so long as you have a microscope.

Apparently deaf people never have kids. Hmm. Alright. Okay.

This guy isn't even the first techbro to suggest recently that if disabled people are allowed to have kids, eventually we will all be disabled. I know very very little about genetics, but I'm still pretty sure it doesn't work that way.

Do these eejits really think something that lives on a computer is immortal?

It's turn into one of those letter ladder word games. "Warn, earn, ears, cars, care..."

In January, Humane laid off about 10 employees. A month later, a senior software engineer was let go after she questioned whether the Ai Pin would be ready by April. In a company meeting after the dismissal, Mr. Chaudhri and Ms. Bongiorno said the employee had violated policy by talking negatively about Humane, two attendees said.

Oh yeah, she was disappeared after L.Ron died. By her husband, new Scientology supremo David Miscavige. I think she was last rumoured to be kept on one of Scientology's compounds but no one is totally sure - the LAPD did a welfare check on her back in 2013 but it turns out the fingerprints they took are all incomplete so it's difficult to tell if it was really her.

Which woman is that? I thought most of the "disappeared" of Scientology were the relatively high ranking sea org members who were purged after L Ron Hubbard died.

Always a good sign when your big plan is virtually identical to L. Ron Hubbard's big plan in the 70s.
