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.]

"glowfic" apparently. written in a roleplay forum format.

This is not a story for kids, even less so than HPMOR. There is romance, there is sex, there are deliberately bad kink practices whose explicit purpose is to get people to actually hurt somebody else so that they'll end up damned to Hell, and also there's math.

start here. or don't, of course.

also, thanks for the intro to "glowfic" - for a good chunk of my 20s I was obsessed with my side project which I called "plotplant" (dorky?) which was an infinitely forkable collaborative writing app. I never got it past a few different build attempts because I would always get caught in the weeds of how, if it were successful, the complexity of a story that had loads of branches would be navigated. My own personal xanadu. Anyway, this glowfic looks like a nightmare scenario that would keep me in them weeds, ruminating, "there has to be a better way!"

It's so hard to read when every bit has all that meta info next to it! Written by Eliezer or not

Past 1M words

That's gonna be 4.000 pages of extremely dubious porn and rationalist navel gazing, if anyone's keeping count.

yeah i tried but i don't think this was meant to be read by anyone.

Yeah, it's both impenetrable and punishing, which I think is in part due to the glowfic format (which I am new to). There's even a glowfic primer from LW!.

The fact that this isn’t just a ratfic of My Immortal is cowardice to the highest degree

Also, I will mention it every time it comes up: “dath ilan” is an anagram of thailand and there just has to be a reason, dammit.
