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.]

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko's basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

Are you saying that someone recording themselves and posting on TikTok was a...gasp... Moron? I cannot believe this. Just no.

I mean, I agree with the sentiment behind the sarcasm, but also feel the same way about the internet in general. Sometimes it's learning the same lesson in a new context. But Roko's basilisk though? Quite a cliff.

Be snarky with class, don’t be shitty

But what if I have no class?

cultivate some! shouldn't be too hard to learn, there's plenty of examples here in the snark pit

nah we just don’t understand sneerclub. what we need is some random jackass whose post history is 2000 of the laziest posts I’ve ever fucking seen to come here and read the name of the community at us

and for those playing the awful.systems drinking game, that’s a shot

the Sneerclub, Whatever That Is:

sip or quaff as desired, while rereading that illustrious comment and staring in wonder that it was actually posted

I’d advise that the SneerClub is actually a negroni with extra-proof (70-90% alcohol) rum replacing the Campari, which is instead drizzled from the bottom of a nearly empty bottle over the top. And it’s taken like a shot, beginning when you log on and continuing at your own pace until either you pass out or the internet does.

that's the OG Sneerclub, this is the variant Whatever That Is - you find it in the kinds of holiday resorts that you learn about from in-flight magazines on cattle class LON-NYC runs

"So wait, you mean you're willing to condemn my mind clones to an eternity of suffering so you can get tiktok views?"
