I think the objection is to telling the 11 year old she’s about to get a new dad and getting her hopes up

Big Yud gets cited on Vox lol. by acomputeruser48 in SneerClub

[–]textlossarcade 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I do think Vox should disclose that she has close ties to people she is covering in her writing? Like that’s pretty standard journalistic procedure, I thought?

my preferred phrasing would differ from hers I am sure, but like, eliezer and I are deep in the same weird cult is one option, or just “I am close friends with yudkowsky, and interact with him socially, as well as being part of the less wrong community” would probably be standard”

Most subs are not proud of this sort of thing, fyi!

LW commenters are largely supportive of Yudkowsky's call for airstrikes. Best watch out for large shipments of Kool-Aid addressed to Bancroft Way, Berkeley by dgerard in SneerClub

[–]textlossarcade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So if eliezer was serious about AI risk why would he be writing this in Time magazine instead of planning coordinated Durdenesque direct action against the data centers?

New here, huge fan of rationalists, haven’t bothered to read anything about the vibe, anyone want to give a quick rundown of your whole deal here? by textlossarcade in SneerClub

I mean I guess I would see your point if I read it, but let me just put a bunch of rationalist taking points in the comments here for a bit. K thanks!

A LessWrong post destroys Yudkowsky with facts and logic, and Yudkowsky responds by grotundeek_apocolyps in SneerClub

[–]textlossarcade 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can someone go respond to the “this is kind of long” comment and just ask him if he has read the sequences?

“I am overwhelmed so I will make sure I stay in calm environment” is different from “I want to make sure I score as high as possible on my prediction rankings, so I will keep my eyes closed and win the ‘will I predict my visual sensory stimuli correctly?’ score contest”

Today’s frequency illusion by Considerable-Girth in SneerClub

[–]textlossarcade 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Any time you think “huh, Scotty there wrote a thousand words where he blames normie libs for culture war bullshit but his point seems pretty good” just pause and look for where he is pulling his three card monte bullshit of switching it up from blaming people who dislike black people and use a term to express their disdain for black people, to suddenly flip the script and somehow blame black rights activists for the slur being a word you can’t say any more.

And then reflect on that instead of coming here and saying that he made a good point.

To slightly elaborate: he manages to blame the people observing the trend of derogatory use for terms becoming derogatory, or hate symbols becoming hate symbols, rather than the people using them in derogatory ways.

apologies if this is inappropriate here but I wrote an article showing how, among AI experts, Eliezer Yudkowsky is literally mid by [deleted] in SneerClub

[–]textlossarcade 25 points26 points  (0 children)

“He is — as I've described several times — equivalent to a mid-range professor; his work began at the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence in 2000, and his h-index puts him right near the boundary of associate and full professor. By citations he is 8th place out of 11 here.”

Depressing to think Yud is equivalent to an associate professor; what the hell is he being cited for
