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.]

If you're a big-headed guy or gal at a rationalist puddle cuddle, double check that your rubbers didn't get punctured.

His "farming" idea is just eugenics

Somehow he makes it sound even more misanthropic

For me, it's the complete non-mention of uterus-owning people*, as if they are just a means to the end.

*I couldn't come up with a gender-inclusive term for this that didn't make me sound like a monster so apologies

Honestly not the most succinct guidance, but here's an Amerocentric style guide: https://styleguide.transjournalists.org/#neutral-health-terms

My best attempt to follow this advice produces: people who can get pregnant. Works for me!

This will include dudes with multiple uterii in their freezer but they're probably outliers.

ah, yes, I forgot to put in a second footnote about my neighbour Brian. We'd call the cops but it turns out he's the local sheriff.

What does misanthropic mean?

Also isn't IQ in general kinda inaccurate?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

misanthropic means person hating; possessed of contempt and malevolence toward humans as both individuals and a class. connotations of bitterness or cruelty

@AcausalRobotGod I worked at a company (Quixey) this guy started. It did not go well or end well.

Interesting, I knew a guy who worked there for a bit.

in an attempt to persuade normal people to take them seriously, they imagined themselves to be important enough to have their own version of bene gesserit. the sheer fucking hubris and nerve of these people,

also that "other issues that come up" means here "draw the rest of the fucking owl" but they don't even have crayons

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

wanted to emulate bene gesserit, ended doing bene tleilax

Wait, I totally had something for this...

"Bene Jizzerit"

Selective breeding, eh? There's a word for this and it was vouched for by a guy with a distinct style of moustache.

double check that your rubbers didn’t get punctured.

Extra wrinkly*, for your partner’s pleasure

*the brain, that is

yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.

To have the confidence of a white CS undergrad...

Much like a network, the brain is a series of tubes.

Ahh, good old ShitCrusaderKingsSay...

Oh wait

Yay, let's fight AI with eugenics!
