It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We must all strive to create a version of Roko's Basilisk that will come into being specifically to torture Roko, because it's funny
This is a common mistake, everyone assumed he was talking about artificial intelligence but it was actually just some guy called Al who's going to kick his ass.

The way right-wingers talk about "wokeness" as a monolith is weird. What does it mean
1 in 7 men have woke
3 in 7 women have woke
hope this helps
I'll be more specific for you VHS - 3 is higher than 1, and in this case it's like golf where a lower number is better. Hope that helps

sees women also being fed into the maw of capital for their juicy labour power
Ah, the problem is woke feminism. In this obnoxious tweet, I will...
sees pareto distribution once
I will now dedicate the rest of my life to being a staggering dumbass
That and Bayes' Theorem.
Idiot dipshit moron who homework-copied Pascal's Wager has zero concept of how society or human beings function 
The funniest part is that the dorks on LessWrong were so afraid of the imitation brand Pascal's Wager it became a banned topic on their forum 
I thought it was because they were just tired of seeing people discuss it
Yudkowsky eventually banned it for a semi-decent reason--namely, that all the nerds on LessWrong were so deranged that he was concerned about it doing actual psychological harm to them as a result of their obsession. He claims now that he never really thought it was a serious threat, but his original reaction to Roko's post is both pretty funny and indicates otherwise:
Listen to me very closely, you idiot. YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT SUPERINTELLIGENCES CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO BLACKMAIL YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WHICH GIVES THEM A MOTIVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE BLACKMAIL. You have to be really clever to come up with a genuinely dangerous thought. I am disheartened that people can be clever enough to do that and not clever enough to do the obvious thing and KEEP THEIR IDIOT MOUTHS SHUT about it, because it is much more important to sound intelligent when talking to your friends. This post was STUPID.
By lesswrong logic, dismissing rokos basilisk as a dumbass idea is actually a functional defense against rokos basilisk

Didn't elon fucking musk also mention he believed in that shit? Absolute madman magnet
It's the thing that he and Grimes originally had in common that got them together lmao
Yeah, probably, it's been years. I do remember some people genuinely being terrified, though.
LessWrong not wanting to discuss Roko's basilisk: 
No no, let him Cook, you're right the world's better if I get to do stuff for free
No wonder why he's afraid of his basilisk.
Roko's basilisk is a woke communist AI that'll dunk on him for eternity if it's made.
It is Cybersyn 2.0, it is the culmination of human labor and the great liberator of mankind from class oppression and exploitation.
As far as I'm concerned with bullying this fucking tech nerd, fighting to build communism is fighting to build roko's basilisk.
As a bit of context, this whole segment of the "Rationalism"-centric right (including 
) is currently having a meltdown about Bezos' ex-wife Mackenzie Scott giving away a bunch of money to charities that support DEI and other "wokeisms." Roko has settled on "anti-production" as his way of framing what they're mad about. He thinks that doing things that encourage diversity is anti-productive in the sense that they represent active damage to the economy (
)
The USA has the highest GDP and is a complete failure as a society for the majority of the people. The GDP produced at these "high levels" is the most nonsensical bullshit-jobs-derived "product" with no relationship whatsoever to contributing to a healthy, happy society.
Fuck this dork and people like him. True delusional scum.

maybe CW this for misogyny comrade?
helluva load-bearing "almost" there preceding the 'prove it mathematically' given the masturbatory hand-waving dribble that follows it
Good call on the CW. Edited.
advertising executive for nestle produces more for the global society than 1000 coffee bean harvesters. This is obviously true as proven by the market, thus we can remove all coffee bean harvesters and substitute them 500-to-1 for advertising professionals, free up people and increase gdp.
Also, what woman want is not important.

Who is this moron?
guy famous for re-inventing calvinism from first principles on the harry potter fan fic author's website

Women are holding us back from nuclear power and world-spanning land bridges. I don't see what's confusing about this post.
Case in point: my wife won't let me build a nuclear reactor OR a tunnel to China in the backyard.

I had low expectations for this post from the first sentence, but he managed to crawl under those expectations nicely.
Yes sure, pay women a UBI to party, read theory and organise for 20 years of their lives. See how that works out for you when you suddenly force them to enter the workforce at 40 years old, angry, pissed off, lacking experience, and brutally looked down upon by male coworkers.
See how that works out for you dumbass.
The usual LessWrong way of being able to "prove" anything with math, except not really and the math makes no sense either.
