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).
It's not strictly relevant - I don't think the crew sets up on the corpse itself - but it'd be fun to watch where Roko's head goes.
"Step One: We kill God. Step Two: We harvest the cadaver, plastinate it, and build our city."
He looks like someone handing out cult literature at the airport.
"If I can find a girlfriend who is 10% better every year, then in 7 years I'll have a girlfriend who is twice as good as you."

In the old days rich people just donated money to build a chapel, with priests or monks continually praying for the rich dead person's soul.
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.
He has quite possibly written more words about Harry Potter than She Who Shall Not Be Named, herself.
My general assumption is that ADHD is both underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed but I'm generally chill about it and not a gatekeeper. But the recent shortages and delays have me a little more on edge about it.
I guess we're going to find out just how committed they are to taking the trash when they leave.
The thing about AI designing and building robots is that making physical things is vastly more expensive than pooping out six-fingered portrait jpegs. All that trial-and-error learning would not come cheap. Even if the AI were controlling CNC machining centers.
There's no guarantee that the AI would have access to enough parts and materials to be able to be trained to a level of sufficient competence.
Some meta-analyses do kinda have the vibe of collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps, combining weak studies and claiming a strong result. (Case in point: some of the bogus studies of ivermectin etc for covid). Not all of them, but if you're not working in a field (and good at evaluating methods etc) you probably should wait for someone in the field to evaluate meta-analyses in the field.
Weird that a young lesbian couple would be so anti-gay.
