this was already posted on reddit sneerclub, but I decided to crosspost it here so you guys wouldn’t miss out on Yudkowsky calling himself a genre savy character, and him taking what appears to be a shot at the Zizzians

So I was wondering, did they at LW ever make something from the ELIZA effect? Cant recall them talking about it, and the importance of it on bias and the obsession with AGI seems important.

(If they didnt, it seems an important gap in 'teaching the methods of ~~agreeing with me~~ sanity').

Nate Soares's interview with Hank Green seems to engage in a bunch of LLM humanisation, so doesn't look like it

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
