Molly White is best known for shining a light on the silliness and fraud that are cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3. This essay may be a sign that she's shifting her focus to our sneerworthy friends in the extended rationalism universe. If so, that's an excellent development. Molly's great.

Seems like it's this: https://beff.substack.com/p/notes-on-eacc-principles-and-tenets

I think that's it — it's the one Timnit Gebru linked to back in February which prompted the old!SneerClub discussion I mentioned, and Molly White's newsletter links to the same place.

I found this earlier one, which it cites as its source:

All that's before that is these few guys throwing the term around on Twitter

There is a fractal optimization algorithm that created life, intelligence, and every meta-organism we know.

I'm wanking at the speed of light / wanna make a meta-fractal brain out of you

@earthquake @dgerard I just read some of this and it made me substantially stupider

It's important to stretch before reading their stuff. A good stretch is to find the latest fad and argue how it's an addiction.

Then, afterwards, you need to cool off and detox. I recommend some Quake, but finding a new favorite album also works.

quake is still fucking awesome and the remasters of 1 and 2 are great for an impromptu steam deck lan party

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.]
