They have deleted Tara from their blog, and Trace is listed as "on temporary leave" since October 2025. I don't think anyone who wants policy reform rather than institutional destruction will have work in the USA until 2029.
I'm surprised at how they've practically erased her from the site. Do you have any idea what the back-story is? I assume there must have been some sort of falling out. Perhaps her proximity to Curtis Yarvin was more than Trace could take (see: pictures of her at Yarvin's wedding).
Ah yes the more leftwing themotte user tracingwoodgrains. They place their windows in really strange places over there.
(For people not up to date on The Lore, he is one of the people who is behind TheSchism, an attempt to create TheMotte (sorry not going to explain that one today) with less rightwing assholes, the result)
Oh, but they're just very concerned that American schools are forcing all the children into the same mold, don't you see
gag me with a fucking spoon
That's an interesting palette choice on your generated illustrations my guys
The shit's so ass I can't even.
There's something I like to call "AI tint" which almost all AI images have. It's when there's something so fundamentally wrong with the picture but you can't tell what. You suspect it's AI, so you go looking for obvious flaws to confirm it.
I don't know why AI bros don't see it. Maybe they do but think it's ok?
At this point it's a cultural signifier. In other words, they know it looks like shit but they are virtue signaling.
Fascism is all about vibes with no underlying structure. AI slop satisfies that specification perfectly.
In a completely unexpected turn of events this new experiment in mainstreaming eugenics is being currently boosted by siskind.
Wait, you are saying the 'we should create incentives for less people to sterilize themselves' guy is for this? Damn. That is fucked up.
That is not how you trace woodgrains. That is not how you trace woodgrains at all!
creepy Harry Potter look-a-likes (and moderately frequent topic in this forum)
Not by choice!
Everything I have read about this guy creeps me out or pisses me off.
From the US department of not beating those allegations.
Woodgrains and fans are taking a victory lap now for getting Vox to take up one of their anti-diversity memes, claiming that FAA endangered lives by adding a biographical assessment to their application process: https://www.vox.com/politics/399804/trump-dei-democrats-faa
Eugenics? A guy going bald that early?
Lesbionest, there is no better proxy for polygenic fitness than your total word count at lesswrong and acx.
Baldness just makes you more aerodynamic, and in our eugenics enabled charter city/network state/seastead you'll be getting assigned a state sponsored waifu anyway (terms and conditions may apply, like being not unprovably not related to persons of dubious genetic heritage).
Incidentally, the only time I’ve seen Tracing Woodgrains pop up in my timeline is retweets from one of the Decoding the Gurus podcast hosts, who had also previously palled around with EA-adjacent ‘intelligence researchers’ like Stuart Ritchie. Something to keep in mind for people who perhaps hold up that podcast with its long-form episodes as a benchmark for debunking IDW crankery.
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.]
