Information has emerged from historical records about the pioneer of conversion therapy and ABA. As a young adult, Ole Ivar Lovaas joined a Nazi-sympathetic fascist party in Norway and later collaborated with the Nazis along with his family during WWII.

Ivar Lovaas is the patron saint of parents whom believe the purpose of therapy and psychiatry is to "customize" their kids into being easier for them and more conformant to their fantasies, outsourcing abuse to do so.

Content warning for conversion therapy, suicide.
One thing I'd like to add to this is that not only does conversion therapy not work, the academic work that launched an industry of abuse was based on fraud; Rekers and Lovaas' "Sissy Boy" experiment, the child subjected to it later took his own life

As to "by software that learns at it goes" that is exactly...wrong. This is the kind of ignorance that was forgivable in 2023 but, by now, represents poor fact-checking and editing on the part of @theatlantic.com.

Okay, so one thing that bothers me is why so many people, even atheists, describe technology as "god-like"
God-like AI. God-like Aliens, etc.
@mandascott.bsky.social literally has a podcast titled "accidental gods"
What qualities make something "godlike"?
#nukesky
Okay, so you know the "wow, cool robot" meme?
The thing with Nukes is that humans find large explosions and post-apocalyptic settings (ie Fallout) to be Cool
something something ekpyrosis
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that there is the problem of "Wow, Cool Mushroom Cloud"
