    Also not shocked to learn that Sabine Hossenfelder is an AGI-bro (also, she follows Crémieux), and involved enough in this wider community to think she should give her 2 cents. (for those not in the know Sabine Hossenfelder made a video about trans kids (??? y tho??) and it wasn’t that great (badly sources for one, or only sourced using one side on some subjects), so it got some pushback, and there was the predictable non-apology (also lowkey blaming your researchers for the video is very classy, esp when you then take no responsibility at all)).

        I actually missed it myself. I had seen here face a few times, wasn’t that interested so the suggestions went away, and later I heard about her going into the anti-woke stuff. (The most recent thing, her support of the ‘war on science’ book (no not MAGA, the wokes!) was funny in a ‘read the room/news, endless screaming’ way).

      Not surprised to find Sabine in the comments. She’s been totally infected by the YouTube algorithm and captured by her new culture-war-mongering audience. Kinda sad, really.
