The Steven Hsu story was relatively recent, but I didn't realize that Steven Hsu was openly associating with Steven Molyneux. He also has a legitimate eugenics start-up.
It’s interesting that nobody mentions Aubrey’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Aubrey was the chief scientific advisor to Epstein’s “Transhuman” project, now called “Humanity +” and Epstein was an investor in SENS.
In addition to the "seed the human race with his DNA" project (largely set up at his New Mexico ranch which the FBI bizarrely still has not raided for evidence), he was also plugged into the world of transhumanism (he wanted to cryogenically freeze his brain and penis) and AI (strong connections to both Marvin Minsky and OpenCog).
From the article: "From 1999 to 2006, Stephenson worked as a member of the technical staff at Jeff Bezos' private space rocket company, Blue Origin. A three-year stint at Intellectual Ventures Lab, the R&D arm of the science investment firm started by Microsoft Research founder Nathan Myhrvold, involved some climate-change-related research."
The Blue Origin work seems pretty logical.
The Intellectual Ventures stint/k proves that we all have a price for rose colored blinders.
Bullshit .. who is behind it ? Seems very shady to let loose and hide behind some no names that went to some well known schools or worked for a unicorn.
Hmm ... whoever is behind it , isn’t probably liked too much by the science community and came up w that idea to further his own business interests as it seems that his own company ain’t very productive or innovative anymore
"A study conducted by librarians of Emory University found that Cureus was in the top 2 of institutional publications deemed predatory or untrustworthy."

"Steven Todd Kirsch is an American entrepreneur. He has started several companies and was one of two people who independently invented the first version of the optical mouse. Kirsch has been both a philanthropic supporter of medical research, and a promoter of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines."

This is pretty mean spirited. If "privileged white male" is going through hormone theory, then I don't think that's very privileged (privileged white male is an awful term) The technology here is still rudimentary, rich or not. This is not Altered Carbon.
And their Dad is not a billionaire, it's in the 10's of millions, 150 employees according to wiki and he's a cereal manufacturer and also a Mayor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Hubbard
Laurel Hubbard might be an awful person, but you haven't made the case for that.
I can't even see evidence Laurel campaigned for this, they just seem to be following the rules. In fact it seems they haven't campaigned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JYerP_Ysts
Same (also worked for him). However the internet troll in my heart loves that he basically bilked Wall Street into funding basic science (the human genome project)
I dove into this guy Pais at one point and came out thinking he’s kind of a marginalized crackpot with pie in the sky theories. Another explanation would be that his patent applications are part of a psyop project.
Morality play, much? People are nuanced, not just "moral vs amoral"...
Intellectual Ventures exploits the market for inventions and patents, buying patents from companies and inventors under the assumption the patents will be more valuable in the future. (...) Startup companies spun out of IV, including Kymeta, Echodyne, and TerraPower, have developed commercial products from IV's inventions. Through its Global Good unit, which Myhrvold founded in collaboration with Bill Gates, IV has also invented and produced commercial products, such as improved vaccine coolers and milking cans, aimed at low-income markets in Africa and Asia.
The company's business practices have caused controversy, however, with some deprecating the firm as a patent troll. Myhrvold has publicly defended his firm's practices, arguing that they foster innovation by serving as a marketplace for intellectual property. He has noted that many of the largest companies in Silicon Valley, including Google, Apple, and Facebook, have also bought large patent portfolios and used litigation to protect them, but he has criticized them as focusing too much on creating "tools or toys for rich people."
Myhrvold is vice chairman of TerraPower, a spin-out of Intellectual Ventures that is developing a new kind of nuclear reactor, known as a traveling-wave reactor, that is designed to be safer, cheaper, and cleaner than current nuclear power plants.
He has degree in science and was admitted in the Stanford's PHd physics program before dropping out to do business. And he has billions dollars behind his investments, not Kickstarter.
So he must have seen (if not written) the "source code" everyone is talking about these days - why didnt he out the brain manipulation population control algorithm as the deep state left wing project that people claim it is ...
Oh thats right, it isnt. Or maybe he is a nobody (lol Senior Engineer - that is basically an intern right?)
Very true... But from what I remember, he demoed for a bunch of research teams as well, which would require a bit more sleight of hand than fooling the average venture capitalist gambling other people's money.
Thats a hit piece, but whatever, isn't that what the most prominent/funded academics do? As far as i know he is known generally as CEO of the company that makes SD, not as the creator of SD. It does look like without him these models wouldnt have evolved so much
I think he probably had multiple goals in mind but it mainly looks to me like someone who wanted to make money by getting in good with the people doing fundamental research so that he could have an inside track on new technologies and new products that would be reaching the market. It's what I would do (not the pedo shit, that is beyond perverse).
