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.]

It occurs to me that, intentionally or not, he's probably steering TESCREAL types to Wikipedia itself as well. I wouldn't be surprised if accounts were coming out of the woodwork to post multi-kiloword screeds about Wikipedia being soooo unfairrrr....
He is transparently trying very very hard to start a gamergate and it's pathetic.
It's like these people are enforcing a facade of polite tone and measuredness as a way to launder literal intellectual terrorism! Dang!
Saw somebody on r/ssc go 'why do they always focus on roko's basilisk and never any of the more important things like Yuds lack of qualifications or academic rigor' and saw them also lol that we here apparently didn't want to spend the 2hs to read it (and well that woulds also require 4h+ to then respond about all the various weird inaccuracies). Which is was an amusing few posts. Yeah, we don't have the energy/desire to read all those posts, but neither do you as Yuds lack of qualifications etc comes up quite often.
They want sneers about Yud's lack of qualifications? Fine:
Noncy prig who never went to high school founded a cult for people who can't leave it behind! How's about that, eh?
Yeah mentioned it does come up quite often, but rokos basilisk just is funnier.
E: flannyo (used to post in sneerclub) is in that thread and actually arguing with people and pushing back on the post a bit. Which isn't going super badly compared to if you tried something like that on themotte vs r/ssc.
Remember Oswald Mosley
(specifically the bit where he and his kept getting facepunched, along with their little gatherings disrupted and made extremely unpopular for establishments to host)
His replies have gone up in upvotes substantially since yesterday, so it looks like a bit of light brigading is going on.
as, indeed, has started to happen https://xcancel.com/thezahima/status/1811495742894408065
literal brigading
hopefully this gets shut down hard at all the places they try to fuck with. we've already had 2 cases too many of jonringer this year
Trace RTs someone hoping aloud that his nonsense gets laundered by an RS, then breathlessly reports on his literal transparent brigade getting unbanned using a very strained appeal to WP:AGF, so I am starting to get a picture of his end-goal.
it's good the rats can't help themselves but to brag about what they're doing – in at least three different public places.
(looks up meaning of WP:AGF)
... Yeah, that site is probably not the right hobby for me.
(looks up the LessWrong discussion page)
My God, it's full of smeg
Annoying that TWG is also doing the slimy thing which is so common in internet trolling nowadays. The text says 'im not a reliable source' the subtext (or well with this retweet, text) says 'make my post a reliable source and attack David'.
(What makes this even worse is that the weird far rightwingers from themotte see all leftwingers as behaving like this, and the, to them, super leftwing TWG is feeding into their stereotypes. Well done on feeding the far right propaganda machine).
they are
My condolences.
