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.]

The article doesn't mention SSC directly, but I think it's pretty obvious where this guy is getting his ideas

I’m here from !all but decided to read the article. This man is crazy af and cringe af.

The Grays’ shirts would feature “Bitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos … Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular.” Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly “policeman’s banquets” to win them over.

So allI have to do to "fit in" is rob a dude of his shirt at gunpoint? Let's see how this plays out..

You don't understand, the Gray Tribe's unique connection with the police, in conjunction with the crime-prevention drones developed by Anduril, will entirely eliminate crime like mugging. There will only be Grays hunting Blues for sport.

Identity theft it is.

Though even with all their toys I also significantly doubt their ability to actually eliminate crimes like mugging, tbh.

You have no faith in the power of AI, typical Blue attitude.

not true! you also have to take his ID, hidden where you’d never look for it (right next to the cash in his wallet you’re already taking)

“Reds should be welcomed there, and people should wear their tribal colors,” said Srinivasan, who compared his color-coded apartheid system to the Bloods vs. Crips gang rivalry. “No Blues should be welcomed there.”

Balaji goes on—and on. The Grays will rename city streets after tech figures and erect public monuments to memorialize the alleged horrors of progressive Democratic governance. Corporate logos and signs will fill the skyline to signify Gray dominance of the city. “Ethnically cleanse,” he said at one point, summing up his idea for a city purged of Blues (this, he says, will prevent Blues from ethnically cleansing the Grays first).

got it, Balaji’s future is a lot like if the classic dystopian game Syndicate was written by a 6 year old. but something tells me this crayola Nazi shit mostly exists to make Tan’s equally monstrous and insane plans look reasonable by comparison, so Tan can continue to pay journalists to call him a moderate Democrat and shift the Overton window as far right as he can.

Ah yes, the Bloods and the Crips. Because those two gangs are well known for peacefully coexisting (?!?!?!?)

Yeah, but there was a lot of blood under the bridge before they could make a truce. But I'd never heard of the truce, that's beautiful. ETA: sadly it seems the truce didn't hold more than 10 years, which is still pretty good. The original Israel-Egypt treaty it was based on seems to have held for about 4 years

no no, this is the bloods and the weird nerds with fucked vibes they keep around because ????
