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.]

Not 7.5% or 8%. 8.5%. Numbers are important.

The first comment and Yud's response.

I just can't respect a man who is posturing and arrogant yet still fails to go for the phrasing "to whom you are speaking".

Theres a constant stream of groupies I’m afraid.

Sadly they don't do anything for Yud as they are bad at math.

my only hope is that it's not, like, undergrads...

Ask a search engine about "math pet", perhaps including "miri" or "lesswrong". Unlucky 10000, I'm afraid.

....was that a thing?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

oh yes, and, much like a powerglove, it was so bad

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It is always somehow worse than one remembers.

truly a well-rounded awful fuckhead, terrible in many dimensions

Thank you very much for this. It left me wondering how closely correlated polyamory is with the EA / TESCREAL scene. Or perhaps Harry Potter fan fiction.

I'm old and should not give dating advice but I wouldn't think that words like 501 (c) (3) or Technorati would be in a dating profile.

In short: too correlated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh my. Thank you.

The Harry Potter fanfiction bit is eye-watering. Tho' not as bad as saying he has a "strong sexually sadistic streak", then still encouraging "shy and underconfident" women to date him. Sorry, I just have to go puke....

Actually the whole thing is sickening. Bad cringe. Evil nerd stuff.

Glimmer of self awareness? Someone should write a paper...
