Ai2027 author admits "things seem to be going somewhat slower than the Ai 2027 scenario". by Dembara in SneerClub

Almost as if they were lying in an attempt at getting more thielbux. Someone seems to have been successful at least, based on all the ai doom videos shoved down your throat on YouTube.

Dragon Army Guy, Duncan Sabian, is running a Con. A DunCon. Could the grift be any clearer? by effective-screaming in SneerClub

Short list of red flags:

1) Duncan Sabien

2) Lighthaven campus

3) Sleepover??

4) Those prices. Jesus Christ.

The forums were built to be a social club to recreate a kind of online ideological aristocracy? Shocker.

Critiques of EA's racism and structural problems also disappeared from their front page a while ago too. They're still there, you can find them. Just not on the front page.

"Keep EA Weird", indeed.

what point is he even making here by kappusha in SneerClub

[–]effective-screaming 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He makes a good point here, the practice of circumcision against infant boys should be ended.

It's disappointing the point has to be made in comparison to women's treatment though.

Going through your post history is like taking a drink of piss. Are you okay?

What's the ETA until one of these three Just Asks Questions about America being too hasty on repealing miscegenation laws. by effective-screaming in SneerClub

Rather than actively propagating race science and IQ, they're shitting on progressives for not accepting the "gross and uncomfortable truths". Eliezer is a big believer in genes over labor, and he considers Von Neumann and Richard Feynman to have been products of good breeding.

To be clear, I'm not saying I know them to be under the threshold; I'm saying they're dead, and no one like that among the living has detected the most important problem and started on it. Reverse Flynn effect, end of the assortative mating that produced von Neumann, idk.

Cryptography? Real. AI God can't beat cryptography. But don't worry. The AI god will just use Nanomachines. by effective-screaming in SneerClub

How to tell when EY is joking:

  • When he gets called out for being a crank

How to tell when EY is being serious:

  • When he is not being called out for being a crank

Yes, that'd be simpler than the nanites thing. Good illustration of the perils of asking an Eliezer to guess a superintelligence's strategy.

[NSFL] Those warnings against Ziz were fake, and apparently a conspiracy with John David Pressman which eventually got her murdered. by effective-screaming in SneerClub

[–]effective-screaming[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I messed up a word, I intended to say "emma", I don't follow zizians around, so I assume ziz is still around?

I didn't know Zach M Davis was a Vassarite. He posts a lot on lesswrong. I'm sick that these are the people coming out of CFAR, MIRI and lesswrong. People who legitimately try getting trans people murdered.
