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.]

amazing to watch American right-wingers flounder at the incredibly obvious questions from UK media guys, even Piers fucking Morgan on a podcast

Morgan - as a fellow right winger - asks Thiel about Mangione quoting Thiel

watch Thiel melting in the excruciating video clip

But then the budget version, compare the always dry looking Bryan (spends millions) to fellow longlivitity fanatic but moist looking budget Dave https://insights.avea-life.com/healthy-ageing/biohacking/dave-pascoe/

Is this longlivitity muppet creepy or wet?

It’s so weird, there’s all these photos on the internet of him looking like an authentic human jerk and then here we are. A financial entity in a patchy flesh suit. Motherfucker made it straight from Silicon Valley to uncanny valley.

same thing with felon, who has the airbrushed-to-fuck Rogue Boyish Charm press photo that usually goes around, and then Weirdo Creep Making Jumping Xs freak as the reality

I think it feels fear

Answered in the article, which refers to him as an 'Antichrist Peter Thiel,' rofl.

every so often, gear techs involved with filming interviews can do silently heroic things

I don't know if this is a case of that, but given the skin shine from reflections, whoever set this up wasn't trying overly hard to make him look good. good on 'em

my personal theory is he refused makeup because it's an unnatural affectation that could have compromised his bioengineered skincare immortality routine

@Amoeba_Girl @dgerard the hair is fooling nobody

One too many poop pills

Poppers

Dude looks like he's in full fight or flight mode if I'm being honest. Quite possibly induced by some pharmacological substance, but a base physiological response nonetheless. What could he be afraid of, I wonder?

[–] pikesley@mastodon.me.uk 10 points 10 months ago

@dgerard it's extremely normal and good that all the power is in the hands of people like this

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 9 points 10 months ago

holy fuck this is incredible

reminds me: earlier today I saw a toot reflecting on "it's not radical to have $x. the american right have just dragged it so far away that gov doing it's job is now radical". topical
