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.]

holy shit, it's Ready Player One for race scientists

He was giving knight errant, organ-meat eater, Byronic hero, Haplogroup Rlb. She was giving damsel in distress, pill-popper pixie dream girl, Haplogroup K. He was in his fall of Rome era. She was serving sixth and final mass extinction event realness. His face was a marble statue. Her face was an anime waifu. They scrolled into each other. If they could have, they would have blushed, pink pixels on a screen. Monkey covering eyes emoji. Anime nosebleed GIF. Henlo frend. hiii.

Here's The Cut puff piece on Levy which just mentions in passing her podcast with Curtis Yarvin.

anyway, nice to know they're still trying to make Dimes Square a thing

you know

I saw the profile/person photo used by the NYT piece, read the pull-quote that amoeba shared, and just mouseover'ed the urbit mention (and thus saw the username)

and from that I made a guess that "wow this sure does sound like someone in the TPOT sphere (and who did that thing visa keeps telling people to do)" (which is to incessantly talk about your shit)

but surely I can't just make such guesses, basis unfounded

ah. right.

I'm not familiar with any of these and it makes me immensely happy.

(there is some following/follower asymmetry in TPOT, but yeah.. checking either is plenty indicative)
