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.]

Further down in the thread it becomes clear that someone who is dating Eliezer used to be a couples counselor which is quite honestly horrifying.
“used to be” I mean that part tracks at least
I did this, im now single but my ex gave me a 'seeing like a state' book.
Looking forward to the conversation:
"Honey, I've met someone who fulfills the criteria we established when we started our relationship. They are 50% better than you".
"OK, let me see.... nope, I don't agree, that person is at best 25% better than me. If you leave me for them, I am suing for breach of contract."
"If I can find a girlfriend who is 10% better every year, then in 7 years I'll have a girlfriend who is twice as good as you."
"Honey, it's time we had the conversation."
"You mean, are we getting serious?"
"No."
"The 'is this going to be exclusive' talk?"
"No."
"The 'do you ever want kids someday' talk?"
"No."
"Moving in together? Making plans to meet my parents?"
"No, I need to tell you that I would trade up if I found someone 37% better than you, and now you need to tell me your corresponding percentage."
[a deadly silence falls]
even Ayn Rand believed in love more than this
brb calling the burn unit
“I’m sorry, I found someone with a 20000% higher PB on the original Donkey Kong cabinet, it’s over. I’m taking the kids.”
Honestly more sensible, at least it's an objectively measurable metric!
I'd never leave Donkey Kong, unless I found someone with 33.3 % (repeating of course) more funk, some sort of funky Kong if you will.
Yud "It's just a joke bro": The lack of punctuation makes it an obvious joke! Let me spend the rest of this thread defending the divine truth of this joke to the bitter end.
The saddest thing is that transparency is sort of good advice, but his twisted soul sees others as tools rather than people, I guess in his case transparency lets people know the stay clear.
Almost 900 words to say, poorly, "It was just a joke (but not really)". The short tweets feel like they're designed for traction, but of course EY falls back on ponderous beigeness when he gets pushback.
If Yud did his cult sermons IRL:
yud walks out onto stage, wearing a hat with a 🚫 sign with a period under it
Crowd: “Leader is wearing the silly hat!!! It’s a silly sermon! Prepare to laugh!!!!”
Yud: “There should be a gulag for low IQ people and Swedes!”
Crowd: “Amazing joke, leader! We must now justify the humor!!!”
Remember in the old Rationalist lore from SSC (in his liverjournal days) jokes are never just jokes. (Jokes are instead a weapon used by the feminists just like the nazis).
dawg if I have to grok rat doublespeak I might just double plus unalive
Not really doublespeak but more them not following their own insights. (Why would they do that Soy? Glad you asked other Soy, because it isn't about the insight, the insight is a tool to bash the ideologies they dislike, and with Scott that is often feminism).
Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
such a depressing scenario to put into words.
Bold of a fucking Harry Potter fanfic writer to be giving dating advice
To the extent EA/rats perpetuate cult behavior, it's probably safe to say that neither EY nor any other high status individuals within the space are wanting for sex.
