BlancheMinerva called out a manufactured narrative in the AI safety/rationalist community: claims that hooking up with Aella or attending SlutCon is essential to being in AI safety. She says spreading such claims is lying, regardless of one's views on the people involved.

When defenders replied that attendees of Nate's sex parties were seen at an AI Consciousness workshop, she quipped they were "not beating the allegations." An inside-baseball community-culture controversy within AI safety circles.
