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.]

WTF is an “EA”?

Didn’t people learn in high school that if you use Initials or an acronym you need to define it after the first use?

I’m seeing more and more of this sort of sloppy writing with little or no consideration for the reader without intimate knowledge of the writers’ niche wank genre.

if only literally the fucking sidebar of the sub had a link explaining precisely what this was all about

And I’m right here!

So a post appears in ‘ALL’ and I click on it. I’m not an aficionado of ‘sneer club’ so I don’t know what it’s about.

I’ve now gone through to the sidebar and I’m left rather uninformed due to the purposely opaque cliquey in-joke nature of the text there. I mean, those are definitely words, I’ll give you that.

The link at the top doesn’t help because i don’t have time to parse a whole article when a 10 word summation of the community would do.

But thanks.

you sure did have time to write a 150 word micro-essay about why you’re a bannable dickhead though

for anyone else who stumbles on our threads from all and is (justifiably) confused: please for the love of fuck lurk before posting a demand that we do labor for you

if you’ve lurked and searched TESCREAL and Eliezer Yudkowsky and other shit from the sidebar and you still need clarification, maybe posting a shitty rant in the style of someone’s dad about how kids these days don’t stop and explain themselves to their elders in a random thread is the wrong move
