She started Sinseriously.blog toward the end of the year, writing under the name Ziz and identifying herself as a transgender woman, as well as a strict vegan. For awhile she lived in a house in Berkeley with others who were affiliated with rationalism, an AI-wary movement that believes reason and scientific knowledge trump religion and emotions when it comes to how human beings should operate in the world. But her takes became increasingly extreme, according to people familiar with LaSota's theories and her own writings, per the Chronicle. "Ziz theory is combining these things like rationalism, timeless decision theory, transgender related ideas, brain hemispheres and left-anarchism," former Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) fellow Jessica Taylor-whose rationalist group became a target of LaSota's ire-told the San Francisco Chronicle in January. "A lot of these ideas on their own are normal." Written by San Francisco Chronicle See less
