      Years ago, I saw an article saying that ten people had been eaten by alligators in Florida that year, compared to just one the year before. I noted that, at that rate of increase, it’d be less than a decade before everyone in the world had been eaten by alligators in Florida.

      The thing to note is that these *aren't* "intelligent people who have been successful in the tech realm", for the most part. Yudkowsky is a high-school dropout who has literally never released a working piece of code. Scott Alexander is a psychiatrist.

      Tech bros are incredibly gullible because they think that being good (assuming they are here for charity) at one field makes them good at another that they have zero experience in. That’s why they keep falling for stupid hype ideas.

      This used to be called "Engineer Disease" Like even before software engineering in particular was a thing, guys with engineering degrees were the ones most likely to be libertarian cranks

      Engineers are worse because their training is explicitly not in "learning things" but "solving problems"

          Also because engineers tend to get taught simplified versions of technical topics, delude themselves into believing that they’ve mastered those topics, and go argue with the specialists who’ve learned the detailed versions.

          I've known dozens of engineers and computer peeps who lost a ton of money in the stock market/bitcoin/MLMs because "money is numbers" + "I'm good with numbers" = drastic overconfidence.

          Usually the "make quite a bit of money" using a method that involves forgetting about the losses and remembering the gains, in my experience.

          We could probably get a lot of shitheads on #DefundThePolice if we rebranded it as just pushing a new build of policing to the live servers. We might have to bounce a few of them, and if it doesn't work we'll just roll back. Cool? Cool.

          The selection bias of applying to engineering vs science is much more likely to determine politics than that a curriculum with more technical projects rather than lit reviews turns you into a libertarian. Your description of engineers' disease is engineers' disease itself.
