AI safety circles debate whether TESCREAL is analysis or an attack-style bundling of ideologies
davidmanheim · x · 2026-10-04
David Manheim weighs in on an AI-safety debate over ideological labeling, noting that @NPCollapse does not collapse adjacent ideologies into a single strawman (e.g., pro-eugenics or anti-human), which he finds apt. He also questions why longtermism alone gets called out as the "crazy thing," rather than insect welfare or the simulation hypothesis. His broader objection is to using labels like TESCREAL to bundle and attack ideas rather than to genuinely cluster them.
