Full disclosure: I am one of the most prolific posters on /r/aiwars because arguing on the internet is my vice and it is an infinite source of people to argue with. The guy who posted your example of nazi shit has apparently blocked me, but I have absolutely seen it there in the past, albeit in a thread full of people shitting on the mod for not blocking the dude.
Evinceo
fair share of doomsday rats have sneaked in trying to co-opt the movement
There's a group called "Pause AI" that is exactly this, EA funded (iirc) org trying to astroturf artists against AIart.
Setting up email and actually getting into people's mailbox isn't trivial.
It's rdrama, they're in another league of weird. Fun fact: TheMotte is using a fork of rdrama's code.
they [nrx and LW] clearly are completely different groups who only party and fuck around together
Or at least not provably not insane.
The article on GamerGate is also awesome, but my favorite part is probably that it contains the very best article about Trump you're ever going to read.
Especially since he posted on TheMotte that the connection between NRX and LW was quote 'fabricated.'
fabricating ties between LessWrong and neoreaction
Lmao
Why did evolution give most males so much testosterone instead of making low-T nerds
Dude needs to crack open a biology textbook and read up on the rest of the animal kingdom. The Winestein-ian attempts to explain every facet of human behavior and physiology in terms of it helping humans survive is just dead wrong.
Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I'm hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they're more than welcome) if he's going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it's a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.
Fuck me, you're making me read Slatescott again. I can't wait to see how he will case for badness and cruelty without relying on being pro badness and cruelty.
Skimmed a bit up to the discussion of architecture not being as impressive nowadays or something.
Ok here we go:
"Hustle and hard work"? That's what we're gonna call being a sex trafficker?
Hand tipped here:
If we accept that there are some vices that cannot be made up for by virtues, we might need to cancel someone. People might need to be held responsible for the things they do. So Scott cannot accept it. There has to be a way to let the baddies in as long as they're actually doing important work.
Slight of hand: now slave morality is all about feelings and master morality is about material needs. What the heck? We established that slave morality was based on the idea that masters inflicting real hardships on their peasants was bad, didn't we? You could make the same argument about Scott morality (as described above) because the objective would be to allow you to feel good about supporting people who do bad things as long as they also do good things.
And speaking of slight of hand, this is going to be my pull quote:
