Here’s an account of Slutcon in Slate from 2025:

An interesting comment in a recent Reddit thread about the “AI sex cult” and Slutcon:

Here’s a sampling of what Aella, a key organizer of Slutcon and a fixture of the rationalist/AI safety social scene, has said previously on Twitter about rape, teenagers and consent, and power imbalances in sexual situations:

don’t like that about cat-calling! also she claims the “sister on only fans” thing was a prank but like, that’s a weird prank, dude

ohh, yeah, that March 2020 is extremely fundy-bias.
(and a very relevant part of Dr Eleanor Janega's book about medieval women, when it was an "of course" thing that women were the hornier, sex-obsessed ones, not men)

Disparaging the use of the term 'survivors' to describe rape victims is maybe the most offensive thing I've ever seen Aella say, and it's not exactly a short list.
Bonus awful points for trying to cloak it in this breezy 'I'm just ceaselessly curious' sort of way.

Survivors in this context means, that they did not kill themsleves yet. Aella does not see this.

I have no reason to think this is in fact the case but this reads very heavily like a victim of statutory rape or similar activity rationalizing not being a victim of abuse

All of this is revolting, but that jab at survivors is particularly loathsome. Wholesale dismissal of the trauma and lasting (sometimes fatal) impact of sexual violence.

I wouldn't touch her CNC views with a 10 feet pole, but that seems just her super weird way to point out murican laws around consent are based on puritanism (see also the drinking age) rather than any kind of psychological insight about understanding and power like happen in most european countries.

The problem is that Aella has stated she is SPECIFICALLY looking for men with this type of background so they absolutely would welcome that guy with open arms.

She mentioned a San Francisco party where pills with the Tesla logo were offered.

I do.
But bear in mind it's eight years old and a lot of the focus is on sexism & misogyny in the venture capital world, not AI or EA.
