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.]

Help I accidentally became 100.000% convinced that bacon is good and tasty and now I'm stuck eating it all the time and can't reason my way out of doing so :(

WTF is this community about? Help an old cunt here

You mean awful systems (this server? or SSC (the linked sub)?

This is a good primer on the linked sub.

This community is here to share amusement/horror at that community and their associated techno-utopian corpo-cults.

This source of popcorn/dread recently went fairly mainstream with FTX's implosion and OpenAI's near-implosion.
