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.]

Yeah, that's where I'm at. I don't think this is Yud doing HPMOR and trying to rope randos into rationality. Well, maybe he's trying to rope the non-rat glowfic enjoyers, idk. In any case, this is Yud playing with a pal and having fun, I guess? Take that as you will.
As long as he's writing collab forum pr0n and not hindering the creation of the Acausal Robot God, it's all good.
Edit Yud is living disproof of the thesis that spending a large number of hours doing something makes one good at it.
I kind of wish there was a space in awful.systems to dunk on malcolm gladwell et al but it’s probably a little too far removed from stem fuckery.
If you haven’t listened to the “outliers” episode of the “if books could kill” podcast, i recommend it!
A real category?
Seems like a write-only medium.
But then, LitRPG also exists, much to my confusion and dismay.
