Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

When she's not busy fantasizing about libertarian crypto-based UBI schemes or propping up the patriarchy, she's writing wearying odes to transhumanism and longtermism. Truly the voice of a generation.

Lifted lyrics from youtube comments, with commentary:

I wanna be software
Upload my mind
Take all my data
What will you find?

A disturbing rejection of humanity.
And a disturbing invitation for data harvesting.

I wanna be software
Binary heart
Infinite options
State of the art

A cry for help, for less emotion ?

I wanna be software
I wanna be code
Digital dancing
Upload my soul

Nitpicking, but code is also mere text.
A call for sweet eternal digital un-death.

I wanna be software
The best design
Infinite princess
Computer mind

I don't know that I would trust mortal hands to the design of souls.
Isn't being a princess as you live enough?

I wanna be software
Live in the cloud
Fictional system
Tell me how

Perhaps forgetting that the cloud is very real, not so ethereal and/or without impact/reliance on the "real" world.

[...]
I wanna be, wanna be, software
What will you find? (x4)
You can write me, you can be soft(ware)
You can make me however you like (x4)
You can write me, you can design
You can make me however you like (x2)

Song disturbingly in a electro "love song" lyric style (I hope i'm wrong).
Is this a "Please make me into your robot girlfriend" song ?
