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.]

Also not shocked to learn that Sabine Hossenfelder is an AGI-bro (also, she follows Crémieux), and involved enough in this wider community to think she should give her 2 cents. (for those not in the know Sabine Hossenfelder made a video about trans kids (??? y tho??) and it wasn't that great (badly sources for one, or only sourced using one side on some subjects), so it got some pushback, and there was the predictable non-apology (also lowkey blaming your researchers for the video is very classy, esp when you then take no responsibility at all)).

Not surprised to find Sabine in the comments. She's been totally infected by the YouTube algorithm and captured by her new culture-war-mongering audience. Kinda sad, really.

Remember the ~two weeks when Sabine was a vaguely respectable science communicator? That was wild.

I actually missed it myself. I had seen here face a few times, wasn't that interested so the suggestions went away, and later I heard about her going into the anti-woke stuff. (The most recent thing, her support of the 'war on science' book (no not MAGA, the wokes!) was funny in a 'read the room/news, endless screaming' way).

Yeah and as follows are chronological and limited, it was somewhat recent. So soon the 'both sides of the iq question debate', with a lot of content from our big friend Emil.
