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.]

Okay guys, I rolled my character. His name is Traveliezer Interdimensky and he has 18 INT (19 on skill checks, see my sheet.) He's a breeding stud who can handle twenty women at once despite having only 10 STR and CON. I was thinking that we'd start with Interdimensky trapped in Hell where he's forced to breed with all these beautiful women and get them pregnant, and the rest of the party is like outside or whatever, they don't have to go rescue me, I mean rescue him. Anyway I wanted to numerically quantify how much Hell wants me, I mean him, to stay and breed all these beautiful women, because that's something they'd totally do.

Hey, genetics Lemmy, dumb math question: Suppose that Cheliax, a Lawful Evil country directly ruled by Hell, is running a state eugenics program and gets their hands on a male interdimensional traveler with roughly +4.25 s.d. IQ (18.5 Intelligence). How much raw demon pussy could the traveler hit before the readers start suspecting he's my self insert even though of course it isn't? (BTW I'm way smarter than that in case any Hellions are listening)

ain't reading all that but i'm happy for him or sorry that happened

As someone who does kind of like the Golarion setting and enjoyed his time with Pathfinder I'm deeply frustrated to see Yud and company tear all the actual interesting worldbuilding out of Cheliax in order to use the concept of an explicitly lawful evil theocracy to avoid cognitive disonnance about how fucking evil their various eugenics fantasies are. Because of course they're evil, but what if...

I wonder if Yud has biological children? He is mercifully discreet about his home life even if he shares his kinks like he has a five-book contract with Baen Books.

considering his confidence in an AI apocalypse I heavily doubt it

He argues that the way to prevent the AI apocalypse is to breed superbabies from high-IQ stock, and a major plot point of Project Lawful is that the hero wants to prove himself worthy of having more children than average and nation he isekais himself to agrees but wants any future children to use their genes for evil.

good point, but also that sentence makes me want to take a long walk outside

maybe Yud just hasn't met a partner "high IQ" enough

[–] CinnasVerses@awful.systems 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Yud was married to a woman in 2019 and mentions other partners and playmates. He said he met her in 2013. The post from 2013 is an infohazard.

[–] lurker@awful.systems 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

huh, interesting

[–] CinnasVerses@awful.systems 2 points 4 hours ago

Some LIbertarians avoid marriage or common-law relationships, not sure if Yud has expressed an opinion on the topic though.

Its Project Lawful, his D&D novel about eugenics and BDSM cowritten on a forum with many of our dear friends

Fortunately, the sheer unreadability of the "glowfic" format shields us from the horrors within.

This is all he does now

I am starting to suspect that Yud never learned to compartmentalize knowledge and put it in different epistemic categories. To him, AD&D alignments, Large Language Models, and race pseudoscience are all nerdy ideas he read about on the Internet, all equally real and true. He does not seem to file a carpenter telling him how to frame a roof, a rabbi teaching theology, and a random twitter account in different categories like most of us would.

[–] blakestacey@awful.systems 10 points 6 hours ago

Also, because he never took a writers' workshop, he never learned that collaborative writing games make for "you had to be there" comedy and the occasional brainstorm, not deathless prose.
