Thiel is terrified of dying and he’s worried about evil AI being what kills him even though he’s been made immortal by regular infusions of twink blood.

maybe it was in a different thread or maybe in the conclusion of "Neoreaction a Basilisk" but someone said that the blood transfusion startup (Ambrosia?) that Thiel has funded is basically scamming him and that all of the research showing rejuvenation comes from not transfusion but literally joining the circulatory systems of an old mouse and a young mouse together.

So if Peter really wants some rejuvenation without being made a temporary siamese twin, he'll probably have to get preventative organ transplants. "Uber, but for medical tourism to China."

EDIT: conclusion of Neoreaction a Basilisk

E. Sandifer posted:

[...] Ambrosia, the "harvest the blood of teenagers" startup, is a classic patient-funded trial scam that played Thiel for millions with a bevy of staggeringly unjustified extrapolations from some old studies that were not so much about infusing the blood of the young as stitching an old mouse and a young mouse together so that they shared a circulatory system, an image that makes the "Peter Thiel is a vampire" jokes actually look tame in the horror monster sweepstakes

If "dunking on Peter Thiel" is a genre that you enjoy, you should definitely read the conclusion of that book.

It's nothing he hasn't been saying for years, so I'm not surprised he's surprised.

Isn't interesting how contempt for men who aren't having the amount of sex they want with the partners they'd like is totally acceptable in a way that contempt for say, the Hmong, is not?!

(I remember multiple posts about how the Hmong, specifically, are going to outbreed us all. I really don't know what his deal with them is.)

Lemma: If a tree is tree is drugged into unconsciousness and then gently + silently raped in a forest but no other trees are around to see this, does rape really even exist??

Valid conclusion: Therefore being cheated on cuckoldry is worse than being raped, which — as we have proven above — is probably fake news. This impartial judgment has nothing to do with the fact that I, a comfortably high-status man, do not personally fear being raped by anyone, nor the fact that my wife could definitely perform a cuckoldry directly upon my person and I am terrified to an unknown degree by this possibility. ∎

Elon Musk low-key believes in Roko's basilisk.

Grimes (musician) recorded a song about Roko's basilisk.

So they're dating now, and they hooked up over Roko's basilisk.

quote:

A source tells us the pair met around a month ago online, of course, through a joke Musk had planned to tweet, but discovered Grimes had already made, dealing with the complications of artificial intelligence.

Thought experiment Roko’s Basilisk considers the hypothesis of a future where AI lords over the world and could punish those who did not help it into existence. His joke was to merge this thought experiment with a pun using “Rococo,” referring to the ornate French 18th Century Baroque style, perhaps pointing out that both concepts are complex, too extreme and ridiculous.
