s'alright, tho. It was always a cynical marketing strat to convert hyper-online nerd anxiety into investor hype. may want to check on Big Yud. Idk if anyone has heard from him since his Time Mag article coming onto a year old now, not that I tried.

Some of the risks the team worked on included "misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and overreliance."

Conspicuous lack of grey goo or hyper-persuasive brainhacking. Still really good at being confidently wrong about basic shit!

  1. Find your favourite sequence post, LW Post, etc

2, Take the more beautiful or poetic lines and dump them into a note

This in the style of Taylor Swift:

So I broke up with Alice over a long conversation that included an hour-long primer on evolutionary psychology in which I explained how natural selection had built me to be attracted to certain features that she lacked. I thought she would appreciate this because she had previously expressed admiration for detailed honesty. Now I realize that there's hardly a more damaging way to break up with someone. She asked that I kindly never speak to her again, and I can't blame her.

Why is this shit on here? Some fascist changes his flavour of fascism.

You find it hard to sneer at fascists?

I was already saying no after reading this opening line:

Let's go on a journey—a journey of pure speculation So, please give me a little cognitive latitude...

Lil' old me (with volunteer help, ofc) installed railroad tie steps on a trail at an ecological reserve.

I doubt that would even pass an Eagle Scout project proposal review.

I know this isn't usual SneerClub content but there's no new /r/badphilosophy space that I know of any closer than this.
