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.]

Do Novelists Need to Worry About AI? (In which I rant for entirely too long about Yudkowsky and his ilk.) (www.reddit.com)

TL;DR:

I rant a bunch about how the silly eschatology of Yudkowsky and his cult have been hijacked by monopolistic corporate goons to push generative AI. Figured y'all might be interested.

Pretty much how I feel. Genuinely considering starting a lemmy instance or something to take over for the subreddit for my books.

I can definitely recommend it! feel free to check out the source code for our instance deployment if you’d like to see how we manage it in production (though we host natively on NixOS instead of using the Docker containers that the lemmy devs provide)

This is arcane, eldritch knowledge my mortal brain cannot comprehend.

My web guy can probably read it just fine, though, thanks for sharing!

ah, exposure to NixOS may cause your web guy to either crash or become unreadable as all of his output becomes functional programming, but he may be able to data mine some good settings from our config
