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.]

I truly feel like Yud is trying to adopt the style I’ve seen a bunch of extremely out of touch executives use on social media, where they post something deranged then claim it’s a joke when they get called out. of course the “jokes” are indistinguishable from regular posts until they get called out. Yud is very much in phase 1 of being a shitty unfunny pseudo-shitposter; phase 2 is that all of his posts will be in the style of a shitpost (lacking an ending period and followed by way too much boring explanation, in Yud’s case) and Yud will sit back and think he’s a genius as he posts the most inane garbage humanity has ever conceived

Sure, but even giving him the benefit of doubt that this was actually a botched attenpt at a joke, that's not exactly flattering is it?

oh absolutely, it’s the same level of fucking embarrassing whether he’s legitimately joking and somehow this bad at it or he’s trying to cloak his increasingly inane (from an already extremely inane baseline) takes in a false layer of humor. this is the kind of thing that works to push you further into a cult you’re already in, but outsiders will see Yud posting this shit and reject it outright
