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.]

so how has that been working out for you so far “jenn”?

OK so I was a bit unfair on OP

she's got a weird blend of stuff on her site: https://jenn.site/ Her recollection of her closeted dad is quite moving, but there's an awful lot of Rationalist virtue-signalling.

What about the article where she claims that based on their art, a contemporary artist "wants to fuck their dog" and the primary reason art galleries aren't making this more clear is...because under woke you're not allowed to sexualize disabled artists????

I am not saying it's all bad, I'm saying there's a tiny amount of good.

Also, from the piece

It's very uncharacteristic for modern art museums and the commentariat to not engage with the sexual themes or undertones with works on display, they're not exactly prudish institutions!

next para

this is literally the first art show I've been to in my life that was prestigious enough that there is coverage and discourse about it.

ok then

Sorry, I guess I phrased my reply badly, I get what you mean about the weird blend (and the article you linked is actually well written), but having seen that dog fucking article I felt the need to inflict the horror on others so I wouldn't be alone.
