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.]

Apparently a senior SW engineer got fired for questioning readiness of the product, dude must still be chuckling to himself.

Found the story here https://hachyderm.io/@wesley83/112572728237770554

Uncritically sharing this article with naive hope. Is this just PR for a game? Probably. Indies deserve as much free press as possible though.

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko's basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

Women have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making babies

The first niche will be taken by sexbots

The second by artificial wombs

Society will suddenly realize it doesn't need women and those in power will quickly start replacing and disempowering them.

People like to consider the positive implications of technology but they don't like to consider the negative implications

The smart strategy for women would be to ban ALL of the following:

  • sexbots
  • artificial wombs
  • trans women

Nobody except women should be allowed to look sexy(feminine sexy), look female or bear children.

To some extent TERF women like @jk_rowling are smart enough to realize that it's essential to defend the female monopoly on this stuff. But the average woman just isn't strategic enough to go along with this, and there's (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.

In his original post he said:

4: Related, breaking news: A popular Substack claims that COVID didn’t happen at all, and that both “lab leak” and “natural origins” are part of the higher-level conspiracy to distract people from the fact that there was never a virus in the first place.

He later edited the post to add:

I wonder if I could even more Substack likes if I one-upped them with a theory that lockdowns never even happened, and it was just one of those Berenstein Bear or Mandela Effect things where everyone has a false memory.

So now it's ironic, and therefore not harmful to spread the conspiracy theory to his large audience.

The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

The article doesn't mention SSC directly, but I think it's pretty obvious where this guy is getting his ideas

includes considerable nonspecific shit-talking of assigned EA enemies, including - horrors! - Timnit Gebru talking about the social issues of the actually-existing AI-industrial complex. also it's not a CASTLE it's a MANOR HOUSE, you fools, you rubes,

Koanic Soul was a website on the virtues of craniomentry that was popular in early-2010s neoreactionary discourse. It told of how modern humanity is a mix of Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal and Melonhead. Each has different intellects and personality types. And you can tell by just looking at them.

We lost so much (that was well worth losing) when Koanic Soul closed in 2015-ish. Amazing new slurs for unworthy skull shapes ("snake-melon") that you just don’t hear any more.

Anyway, it turns out there are traces still remaining in rssing.com. This is just page 7 of several.

The main site was rambling delusional blog posts - the above link is just some of the RSS feed for the blogs - and a forum filled with our very good friends.

Here's a contemporary review from r/badscience.

(There is a current substack and a current youtube of the same name which are unrelated.)
