Someone send Roko a copy of James K. Morrow's novel "Towing Jehovah" which involves the enormous corpse of God being towed, by a (much smaller) oil tanker, from near the Equator north to a fijord for burial in a cave. (I lost interest toward the end).

A PhD student got an opinion piece published on the hill dot com.

Also of course he has his own EA organization / grifting engine.

Which looks like they probably use Twelve Monkeys as a role model.

I guess we're going to find out just how committed they are to taking the trash when they leave.

Between €69,000 Champagne and feral party crashers, private yachts and helicopter flights, hangover IVs and “naked houses,” just one week managing wealthy clients pushed our writer to the brink of exhaustion."

If it were an NFT that would be proof that we'd been designed by an evil demiurge.
