Your Art has stagnated. You are going in circles. Maybe you’re inching forward, it’s hard to tell, but if you are, it’s not enough. What happened to your tsuyoku naritai? Note to self: revise manifesto to be 22% less weeb

First as tragedy: the Scientologists call their teachings “tech” to impress marks Then as farce: Maximilian Snyder calls his methods of optimizing D&D characters “tech” to impress his guru (I am told that people who attended CFAR workshops used to call their teachings “tech”) He won an AI Alignment Award in 2023. Nate Soares, Yudkowsky’s right-hand man, endorsed his paper. Curtis Lind was attacked with a sword in November 2022, and the Zaijkos were murdered in their daughter’s childhood bedroom around 31 December 2023. It sounds like at least one Zizian was still having friendly exchanges with MIRI leaders well after the 2019 protest at the CFAR reunion (although it is possible that Snyder discovered Ziz in 2024, the year he applied to marry Youngblut).
