Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Seeing Cremieux Recueil will be there, does anyone know who's behind it, what's the deal with it, etc? I'm always seeing it pop up on these freaks' timelines and I imagine it's eugenics shit but I can never be bothered to dig enough to find the really incriminating stuff. It's well creepy though.
Hosting entity appears to be at the bottom:
Could start digging from there
Lightcone are the guys convinced they will save the future of humanity by writing and hosting the LessWrong/EA forum code.
I am still curious about how well that belief will hold up under a couple hundred bucks of darknet services
Aha! It turns out Cremieux is the r/slatestarcodex poster formerly known as /u/Tr--yPorn0 (slur dashed out), or TP0 for those who don't even want the slur in dashed-out form. A really persistent race scientist with a habit of (a) misrepresenting the papers he spammed as links (b) misrepresenting himself. He used to run a tiny blog as "Cremieux" when he was claiming to be an economist from Liechtenstein. Then he got pumped by the other race scientists. So I expect this to very much be Racist Fest.
some past hits from TP0:
his style is gish gallops and paywalled papers that turn out not to support his claims, and citing Emil Kirkegaard's pseudojournals a lot
Googling the blog name brings up this delightful interview

Ah yes, anonymity, a cornerstone of the scientific method.
Wow amazing, thank you. What a sicko.
Here's another good one: https://old.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/12qbsfo/tpo_has_joined_twitter_been_tweeted_by_paul/
My favorite tp0 moment was when someone pointed out the identical twins in an adoption study he cited were barely separated, and tp0 blocked him and left the original chart using data from the study up.

frequent ACX commenter, Here he is on IQ and genes Very into citing OpenPsych as solid gold scientific fact. Race scientist, yes.
Wow, I knew what I was in for but god that's unpleasant.
Ahh, see, racism is just more intellectually convenient.
