> [Pro AI entryism] is "do[ing] all this [...] by looking like one is staunchly anti AI explicitly." Their end goal is to crush the movement from the inside. They get in, gain power, and completely change the rules, emptying the institutions, so they have weaker enemies. 1/n

New /turing post up! It's about entryism and @olivia.science's writing about it!! fellowesin.neocities.org/turing/entry... #blog #writing #ai

> TESCREALs have done entryism into Critical AI, for example, Future of Life Institute is trying to mingle with labor organizations. The same Institute also funds YouTubers to make TESCREAL slop disguised as videos about the risks and harms of AI. Anthropic hijacked the Catholic Church. 2/n

> Bernie Sanders is a TESCREAL puppet now. Hank Green, a science communicator [used] AI in his videos [as did] Holden Thorp, the editor-in-chief of Science the scientific journal, in the making of an article about how AI degrades scientific research and publishing (the irony is FRYING me). 3/n

> Keep your eyes wide open. I have a couple ideas on what you could look out for: 1️⃣ Supporting / liking TESCREALism, Eliezer Yudkowsky, etc. 2️⃣ Claiming "AI helps disabled people" and derivative rhetoric. 3️⃣ Arguing that AI is dangerous unless it's developed in the US, or China. 4/n

> Monroe [...] gave me advice on analyzing motives that have stuck with me to this day, and I think you could make use of it, too: "[be] dialectical and materialist. What is happening? Why? What are the historical and material factors? Staying grounded is the method to sharpen our minds." 6/n

> Guest warns us to not be fooled by surface appearances[:] "This is the logic of AI, of fascism, of sexism, of racism. That is, because things look a certain way, that therefore they are a certain way. Internal properties are wrongly derived from their superficial appearance." 7/n

> Anyways, keep an eye out for LARPers. One final piece of advice, from Olivia Guest herself, is "Please do not the ally." Do not bully your allies just because they made a mistake. That's just straight-up gatekeeping and not of the good kind. We went over that shit before. 8/n

I will personally tell you off if I see allies being awful to powerless people because they made a slip up. Remember this is also a form of entryism to be nasty to allies! Please do not the ally. bsky.app/profile/oliv...

From the article: > A $10,000 stipend That says it all. An organisation that can spend that amount of money. It's kind of funny if you've seen any Pivot to AI YT videos. It's one guy at his desk in the small spare room of his home, surrounded by the junk and cardboard boxes he stores there.
