It is fascinating how lots of people seem to genuinely have the mental association "EAs = people who are anti-technology"

Of course it makes sense if 2023 AI stuff is one's first introduction to internet nerd subcultures, but even two years ago that characterization would have seemed completely incomprehensible.

It's no wonder. People have limited out on the overstim levels... From serious lows of community due to fade religion and other conventions to mainlining media in the form of everything bad.

It's not that had to understand.
