The underlying anxiety of the Basilisk, once you strip the deranged assumptions about quantum selfhood and acausal trade out of it, is that the AI god, even when programmed to be "friendly," will decide that you're a fucking tool and bully you.https://twitter.com/RuffleJax/status/1374052656952569865 …
One ass is not a representative sample. This is an incredibly diverse group of people (both in terms of beliefs and thoughts, as well as in terms of racial, ethnic, sex, gender, ideological backgrounds). One doesn't need to agree with them to see them much more charitably.

I'm puzzled as to how you are getting that from say the data here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4I-x9oArWW1Tz5mEK4uHmxcJzVKGA28RfKPsDvW8hzZNViw/viewanalytics … . Look for example at the political pie chart, or look at how the percent transgender in the survey is more than 3 times that of the general population. Many white males, but many others.
