Hello. I've been a lurker in SneerClub for a year or so.

I've never been either a Yudkowsky-style rationalist or worked in the IT industry, but my whole life has been weirdly parallel to this sort of thing. And now that world has nurtured some of the worst A-list villainy of our times.

Yays. I'm still trying to work out precisely how deep the rot goes.

Favourite personal hate sinks include Scott Alexander, Richard Hanania, Robin Hanson, Steven Pinker, Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, and the thing that bought Twitter. I have a bad feeling these people are building an intellectual infrastructure for fascism more functional than anything the fascists could manage themselves.

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.]
