At first, Ziz LaSota seemed much like any other philosophically inclined young tech aspirant. Now, she and her followers are in jail, six people are dead, and Rationalists are examining whether their ideas played a role.
What the fuck kind of headline is this? Do they employ editors at checks link THE NEW YORK TIMES?
The New York Times is a bottom of the barrel rag at this point. I blame Transphobia Brainrot Syndrome (TBS), which is where people become so obsessed with taking down trans people that their brains leak out their ears.
This is such a shitty clickbaity title lol
I felt both the Wired article and the Behind the Bastards episodes did a better job on the topic of the Zizians than this NYT piece
Hum. Insane techpeople killing landlords and Border Patrol? Real ‘let them fight’ moment.
Behind the Bastards has two great episodes about the Zizinians. Title had something to do with Harry Potter.
Sarah Connor. RIP
