    This is the guy who is kinda responsible for ziz and the zizians right? Game theory BS that devolved into a murderous cult?

      yeah, he’s the guy they accused of statutory rape and giving drugs to minors (as well as the guy who created the rationalists and all their associated ideas) in a recent post of his, he also implies it’s Ziz’s own fault she went crazy. quote “doing crazy things because the world is ending is a skill issue”

      Yes and yes. I want to stress that Yud’s got more of what we call an incubator of cults; in addition to the Zizians, they also are responsible for incubating the principals of (the principals of) the now-defunct FTX/Alameda Research group, who devolved into a financial-fraud cult. Previously, on Awful, we started digging into the finances of those intermediate groups as well, just for funsies.

        Wow, didn’t realize there was an FTX connection too. I was only familiar with him because of the Behind The Bastards podcast episode about the Zizians.
