AI Safety vs Accelerationist Feud Escalates Over Posts by Self-Described Pedophile Eugenicist

The personal-attack feud between AI safety and accelerationist camps is escalating. Garrison Lovely pushes back against ad hominem attacks, citing emeriticus's callout: accelerationist accounts shared an anti-AI-safety thread by a self-described "pedophile" eugenicist the day before — the author wrote things like "The only thing that feels beautiful to me would destroy young lives" and "Racism is good, pedophilia is bad. I say this as someone who is both." Lovely argues such a figure could only be promoted within the tech right, calling out the irony as projection amid dueling claims that the other side's community is morally repellant.
