I must confess I have a personal vendetta against Yudkowsky and his cult. I studied computer science in college. As an undergrad, I worked as an AI research assistant. I develop software for a living. This is my garden the LessWrong crowd is trampling.

I absolutely hate people throwing around the word ‘sentient’ like they know what it means. If you just read any dictionary it’s pretty obviously not some arbitrary word you can use to say it’s ok to kill animals.

I think Eliezer Yudkowsky could probably ask in words not to be killed, but that doesn’t mean he contains a spark of awareness like a chicken does.

Love when my “AI expert” has no education on the subject and just makes up random thought experiments with no basis in reality.

And this dipshit is somehow a millionaire.

Do they think that people without the ability to communicate are not sapient?

I can fully believe Yud and his followers are ableist as hell.

:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

  • No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn’t about you, it’s about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
  • No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we’re not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
  • No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
  • Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
  • Questions about diet belong in c/food. It’s also a great place to share recipes.
  • In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.
