Yeah not even halfway in and it is just madness. Also not unlikely the Roy guy just made things up.

Guess the author didn't think of asking about the inconsistencies in the mans story cause they both bonded over disliking unhoused people. (The horrible unhoused people who mumble incoherently vs the chad founder who shouts 'will you be a cofounder with me?' at people).

But nope just post the blackpillers words uncritically. Do not mention that this bold truthteller who doesnt like to be told what to do or he gets enraged spend a year at home to save his parents business (and admits to that damaging their business).

Alexander is one of the leading proponents of rationalism

Is he? Or is he just calling himself that. Claiming to be a Rationalist is easier than actually doing it of course.

For rationalists, the divide between truth and falsehood is very important;

Only for the outgroup. (Saying this in relation to Scott 'Secret NRx'/'I didnt read the book I reviewed' is something).

"Racing cum is definitely interesting.” I found Eric very hard not to like.

Might want to reflect on that a bit. And why this is more a pr piece than journalism. (Did he even check all these people got kicked out of their highschools?)

Re donald boat.

Why didn't people just block him? Why doesnt the author talk about this?

I told Donald the theory I’d been nursing

This explains, the author wants to be them.

Nope sorry, just a bad attempt at a joke. Made sense in my head the first time, now less ;).

Tante.cc writes about Cory using an 'Drunk Uncle' style argument to defend his LLM usage (and go after the left using strawmans).

(To counter one of Cory's arguments, If disliking LLMs was just about the people who run it, people against it would have have stayed in sneerclub).

I was trying to make a joke (and failing) about how people misuse terms. Sorry about it not landing. Should have thought about it better.

Rip the stately home.

Time to say 'Sneerclub was correct' a lot, so we can frontload the 'factcheckers'.

the Gen-Z men shut out by elite institutions often join their grandfathers and turn toward MAGA, or worse, into Groypers.

Iirc that is not as often true as people claim it is. But yeah, not gonna click unherd to see if they have a source. Because blergh unherd.

Think you did, I only followed it up with a google and finding that site.

Not beating the 'this is just Christianity with the labels removed' allegations.

We are in the singularity this is so hard to explain to people.

Describes a normal thing, a think also talked about for several decades in science fiction now.

Amazing the singularity term has now been downgraded to "ai stuff that is hard to explain to laymen".

Thet think their incremental innovations are radical.

According to a site : https://apocaloptimist.net/the-apocaloptimist/

"An Apocaloptimist sees the trouble, but is optimistic we can do anything–including fixing all the world’s problems"

So if jesus wins the war during the second coming all problems are fixed.

(~~The thing is also nuts "we are the people actually working on fixing things [by hoping AGI will fix it all for us]", my brother in Eschatology you are running a podcast~~ sorry the guy is unrelated to the agi people theyvare just using his term).

E: does seem the site itself isnt about AI so they just stole this guys term. Nope they just took this clean energy guys term, sorry about sneering at him he seems to actually want to introduce clean energy and works hard (that seems to be a lot of conventions and blogging however, so buying ourself out of the capitalist problems) for it, as far as I can tell.

Ow god it is pop culture references all the way down. Tvthropes is skynet! You gotta tell them!
