AI safety community drama: sex-party culture vs. welcoming female researchers
blip_tm · x · 2026-09-27
Drama is brewing around the "Aella sphere": bliptm quips that these people claim to care more about AI safety than weird sex parties, yet won't stop hosting them to make the AI safety community more welcoming to female researchers. Quoted artist artbypep's critique: if the main community space for AI safety is one people avoid due to sexual/edgy events, such comments are "deliberately obtuse at best" and at worst signal prioritizing the group's sexual culture over AI safety itself — an ongoing debate about community culture and inclusivity.
