AI Doomsayer with Ties to Bernie Sanders Had Troubling Past Online Activity

Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent AI theorist known for his dire warnings about the potential for artificial intelligence to cause human extinction, has a past online presence that includes discussions of extreme sexual fetishes and controversial views. Yudkowsky, who met with Senator Bernie Sanders earlier this year to discuss the dangers of AI, has previously expressed beliefs that advanced AI could lead to the end of humanity.

His past online activities, detailed in reports, include discussions on platforms where he reportedly outlined a list of sadistic demands, mentioned "sex slave" fantasies, and engaged with content related to an OnlyFans model. In a 2016 Facebook post, he is reported to have argued that a "pretty" 21-year-old virgin should sell her virginity if offered an enormous sum. He also reportedly listed his fetishes as "orgasm denial" and "tickling." In 2017, he recommended the sci-fi novel Perilous Waif, which centers on an underage girl and contains material described as disturbing.

In a 2022 discussion about terminating pregnancies, Yudkowsky reportedly asked why there was no option for "like, 18 months." He also wrote that declining sexual desire showed society had become bored with "vanilla sex" and needed to embrace more BDSM to "survive," though he later claimed he was joking.

Yudkowsky's colleague, Nate Soares, also believes that the development of AI smarter than humans will result in the extinction of the human race. The connection between Yudkowsky, Soares, and an OnlyFans creator named Aella has also drawn attention. Aella has been pictured with Yudkowsky and is also linked to Soares. Soares' relationship with Aella, an OnlyFans creator, has brought their unconventional world into the spotlight.
