Just program the godlike AI to turn everything into pykrete instead of paperclips.

Problem solved.

Maybe the gormless rich kids give him cocaine.

They also mean "the wrong people are having too many children".

Also:

Poor black people with lots of kids, using government assistance: "Don't have kids you can't afford!"

Middle-class white people putting off having kids because they can't afford them: "Don't give us that excuse, start breeding!"

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.

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.

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.
