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.]

It's fascinating to see how the narrative (at least in tech circles) has gone in the last 6 months or so: from "I typed a prompt and got a college-level essay" to "no way this [rich][powerful][respected] VC could write anything so incoherent, he must have used an LLM"

Pretty sure if I asked ChatGPT about essay writing tips or what the best essay ever looked like, it would be more coherent than this rancid melange.

No way PG has the attention span to write this much.

This sounds like how I would write when I was on adderall. I mean, what the hell is this statement?

assholes like this are giving adderall a bad name
