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.]

I'm seeing a SBF-like trajectory for Altman here. He's building the foundation of his public persona and business on a house of cards that will come tumbling down at some point.

The only things that are sneer-worthy are the comments from LWers, like Roko, who jump to immediate dismissal of what seems like pretty compelling testimony and evidence towards fucked up things Altman did and continues to do to his own family.

To stick with the theme of this group, here's a sneer coming from inside the house in response to Roko's dismissal that was primarily based on his own feels:

Bayes can judge you now: your analysis is half-arsed, which is not a good look when discussing a matter as serious as this. All you’ve done is provide one misleading statistic.

I didn't post this to sneer, however. I think it's pretty important information that should be known.

edit: I should also mention that Annie has a Twitter account that she's posted some good takes, sneers and zingers on. I think she's worth a follow and can use some support, and she has some projects that can also use support.

good call. this is a very important post that belongs here, but it’s definitely not sneering material. needless to say: fuck Sam Altman, and fuck Roko, the moderators of the orange site, and all the rest of the usual suspects playing defense for him
