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.]

Rationalist check-list:

Incorrect use of analogy? Check.
Pseudoscientific nonsense used to make your point seem more profound? Check.
Tortured use of probability estimates? Check.
Over-long description of a point that could just have easily been made in 1 sentence? Check.

This email by SBF is basically one big malapropism.

it’s like the negative thoughts I have whenever I convince myself I’m not cutout to create my own business. I’m sure I’d be a self-indulgent weirdo like that.

Hey, don't talk about my acquaintance from the niche internet forum that criticises other niche internet forums that way.

More seriously, I hope those thoughts aren't holding you back. I'd like to think that by being in sneerclub you are inoculated from transforming into the specific kind of self-indulgent weirdo on display here.
