Looking at the map of Singapore there are lots of islands around it (Singapore was probably chosen as a reference datum because libertarians like it and it's a big transport hub). Most of the islands seem to be Indonesian territory.

Yeah this was bascally a tweet.

k. have fun getting punched.

To find a partner and start a family? Or to dress so that people make fun of you online?

Ultima Thule was a Swedish white nationalist band back in the day.

You don't understand, the Gray Tribe's unique connection with the police, in conjunction with the crime-prevention drones developed by Anduril, will entirely eliminate crime like mugging. There will only be Grays hunting Blues for sport.

So who is motivated to dedicate significant time to attacking AI x-risk beliefs, generally in their spare time?

This is exactly analogous to the baffled coiners who couldn't understand why people spent even a minuscule amount of time criticizing Bitcoin, when they weren't remunerated for doing so.

edit

I misread this sentence

Some people find Al gore smug and pretentiousness

as referring to AI gore which is a great term for generated shit.

God knows I'm not good at web design, but the look of that page is really really cheap.

This is a really controversial claim, heavily pushed by supporters of Assad and Putin. No-one seems to have been interested in claiming the 100K this time so they're happy to be calling this "resolved".

What Scotty is missing or rather eliding is that Ackmann, Rufo et consortes hounded a woman of color out of a prestigious job by knowing how to manipulate the media. That, of course, is just valiantly exposing wrongdoing and hypocrisy. Someone cheekily pointing out that Ackman's wife did essentially the same thing is however a vicious attack on the saintly Ackmann.

This is what Substack does. Instead of having an editor telling the writer "JFC Scott this is just Streisanding" they have to Produce Content. Oh well, it's all grist for the sneer mill.

Edit TOO LATE there's a Tvtropes page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Roleplay/ProjectLawful

The real fear here is AGI appears and it's COMMUNISM. Hence, alignment!

It's convenient that the stuff about "race realism" is hidden behind the paywall. It makes it much easier for Scott's many defenders to continue to paint him as some sort of left-libertarian.
