I honestly thought that when they published an article about Yud in Times Magazine last year would be that moment. It should have had enough reach to trigger something, at least, and it was crazy enough as well. It was certainly the moment where I thought, holy shit, the weirdos have hit mainstream.

(So this also means a large percentage of the people now left in sneerclub will be the worst, so it might finally morph into the boogyman the Rationalists always made it out to be).

Some people seem to be genuinely happy it's back, but that could just be the honeymoon phase, so let's see. I might even post there now and then since I still use my Reddit account because I stuck around thanks to discoverability in the Fediverse being just awful which means I haven't found a good replacement for a bunch of communities I like.

My asexual brain always imagined it as a cool-looking dinosaur.

However, since dinosaurs were apparently birds, I guess the giant cock isn't too far off.

Depends, I guess. After reading (well, skimming, to be honest) it, I love David even more. <3

They managed to make this even more stupid than the open letter from last year which had Yud among the signatories. At least that one was consistent in its message while this one somehow manages to shoehorn an Altman milquetoast well-akshually in that AI is, like, totes useful and stuff until it's gonna murder us all.

Who are the even pandering to here?

Well damn, I used to lurk on old sneer club, but I gotta admit I missed that particular rabbit hole so far.

The fucking comments on the live chat, lol.

I'd like to see him a free man. With his skill-set think of the contribution he could make

I would actually like to see him to less but use his knowledge to help other exchanges and crypto whales

​​Hope he gets the least amount of time

​​i feel bad for sam, i don't think he's a threat to society. only thing is they may want to make an example out of him

I suddenly feel like Hackerman because my PGP-encrypted file with Steam backup tokens is infinitely better secured than some crypto bro's detailed confession of crimes that could land them jail for 50 years.

These clowns are so fucking incompetent at being evil geniuses that they need a document outlining their Evil Plan™ and not once think how that might be a stupid idea.

They aren’t EAs? At least one of them literally has a profile on LW, as pointed out in the other thread about this.

But maybe they consider themselves to fall somewhere else in the TESCREAL acronym. There’s six more letters to choose from, after all.

Hi, I'm Mii (u/0xMii on Reddit), software dev and hobby artist. I was a lurker on old SneerClub and TechTakes and only recently found out they moved here. Glad to have it back, because with the current AI hype, the TESCREAL clowns creep in everywhere and I'm trying to maintain my sanity.

They almost got me and pulled me into their cult a few years back, but I luckily got out before it was too late.
