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.]

“Here’s the deal,” the Urbit crew heard the No Agency guy say. “You give me back those twenty hats, I give you back your five thousand dollars, and I never fucking talk to you again.” (thepointmag.com)

a selection of sneers:

  1. It goes without question that this is idiotic. They aren't reinventing the internet; they're copy-pasting it while fucking up the compression. This whole "galaxy" and "stars" and "planets" stuff is just IP addresses with extra steps.

The coolest thing right now, he is saying, is to be an incel.

Virginity! Is! Cool! (C'mon, y'all!)

  1. Here's the short story I'd read at this party:

Steve, 20, an aspiring influencer: Urbit is the future, look at my NFTs, web3 go brr. Give me money and I'll devote my entire lore and persona to you!

George, 50, an exec at a baked beans company, trying to increase sales: That's great buddy!

The proposed solution to neo-feudalism is, in essence, a better feudalism

I'm gonna build my own feudalism! With blackjack! And hookers!

This is all very sad. I look forward to more sneers.
