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.]

some of the sub’s friends are holding a conference although they’re still not totally comfortable to go public:

but buyers are warned that purchases will “require approval”

aww, the poor babies. even with literal nazis in the whitehouse they still feel uncomfortable to spout their weird shit

hopefully if this thing happens at all, someone documents the everliving hell out of every attendee

Details emerge about Natal conference in Austin later this month, set to feature figures linked to far-right politics

I'm also learning some details about the Vegan Conference in Seattle, set to feature people who don't eat meat.

Well, I can see the distinction being important. I'm sure the adult baby/ageplay crowd don't want their good reputation stained by these chuds

a startup offering IQ screening for IVF embryos

Is this… the perfect grift?

Still waiting for the VC billions for my startup Gatta.ca that will sell refrigerated high-IQ piss to the rubes so they can pass Google interviews.

“intelligent” people make the best marks, donchaknow

Only big dum-dums wouldn't buy Dr. Swlabr's Brilliant, Life-Extending Snake Oil! Use it in a poultice, as a liniment, or as an emollient! The smartest use it instead of the fertility-sapping seed oils!

Surely the free market would never allow this.

So many of the prominent eugenics enjoyers name-dropped in the article have being regulars in ACX in common, as well as having been personally sanewashed by siskind on numerous occasions, that it's becoming increasingly absurd how he keeps flying under the radar when modern racism and eugenics are being discussed in major outlets.

Like, I don't see how Cremieux/Lasker/TP0 ever breaks into the mainstream enough to be notable by The Guardian without Siskind making rationalist spaces super friendly to people like him as well as deferring to him and endorsing his writing.

kinda wonder if the pushback about the nyt article contributes to this
