Was it just me or did OG's post use the epistemic status not as an epistemic status but as a way to frame how you should feel about the things?+more non epistemic things?

E: What "she was being paid the equivalent of $75k[1] per year (only $1k/month, the rest via room and board)" 62k for room and board? "The staff they hire are either remote, or live in the house with them." for living with your boss? Wtf is wrong with those people. While also making romantic references to their employees. There were doing indentured servitude ffs. They should get lawyers.

I did not expect a 'we tried to get our indentured sex servants to smuggle drugs for us' story to drop.

"Epistemic status:" is such a pompous thing to say that it is automatically a head start on a joke setup. Possible completions include but are not limited to the following:

  • I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue
  • Jackin' at the speed of light (sung to the tune of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now")
  • Yippie ki yay, Mister Falcon

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.]
