As a start, I copied all Alicorn's lines into a Markov text synthesizer . Some of the best results were:

"Whoa, there's an improvement, but it's subjectively objective."

"Okay, but every change is turning into bottom-line thinking like a collective action problem."

"If keeping my current job has higher expected utility than founding a brownie."

"I think he's just the unit of you shouldn't implement Really Extreme Altruism. Unless the teacher's password."

"If I wish to optimize for Rare Diseases in paperclips."

"My elephant wants a term for infanticide."

From another generator:

"I'm going to solve metaethics." "I'm going, you're going to found the Society for infanticide."

""Snow is white" is failing to solve psychology."

"Wait, wait, "this is white" is a more technical explanation?"

"My utility function includes a semantic stopsign."

"If keeping my current job has little XML tags on it that say the Least Convenient Possible World...""

"Sure, I'd take over the sanity waterline."

"I'll be the symbol with ice cream trees."

"So after we take over the alternative universe that is the Least Convenient Possible World..."

"I want to tile the sanity waterline with the unit of a thing."
