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.]

shocked that anyone could be so uncouth as to accuse our boy Cremieux/Lasker of plagiarism goodness me (x.com)

'a bad person writes a callout post ...'

Ow no, they are going after tracingwoodgrains. ;) (E: ok, I this joke lands differently after reading this: "Crémieux seemed to understand this [this behavior is plagiarism] when former Harvard president Claudine Gay was accused of plagiarism.").

'Here is a ChatGPT legal analysis on ...'

Ow god all sides suck. (Also blog length tweets were a mistake, im not reading all that).

E: read part of the initial complaint

Beefing is a funny thing. Before we invented police and laws as courts, gossip was the only method human beings had to enforce the social compact.

What...

E2: Yes, if you steelman the above statement it makes sense, but that is stilly, you can make almost anything make sense if you steelman it long enough, pigs fly if you count falling as flying, liking romance novels is now a hardcore porn addiction (wonder why he picked her to go after), ignore peer review and blogging can be on the same level as academia. (Wait, I gotta think a bit more about that last one).

He was the 'race and IQ' guy on the slatestarcodex reddit. He posted A LOT about race and IQ. He also famously made it to the 'quality contributions' thread of that place. Describing his ideal world. A small quotation: (there is more, a lot more):

  • Mandatory abortions of the congenitally ill.
  • Corporal or capital punishment for adultery.
  • Adultery as a civil crime.
  • Mental illness/having mental health medication prescribed disqualifying voting.
  • Lower tax rates across the board for more fertile people.
  • Paid sterilisation (i.e., trading your fecundity for a basic income).
  • National genotyping and IQ scoring as part of using any sort of public health subsidisation and education.
  • Allowing insurers more room to discriminate on any quality they wish, including genotype, education, and IQ (i.e., no more disparate impact or genetic discrimination laws at all).

Nice guy, no issues, normal type of quality contribution.

"T*PornO is one of our most prolific and high quality contributors, and his eccentricities don't do anywhere remotely enough bad to overcome the good he does by being around here and posting." Salt the earth.

Wow TP0s (I think we prefer to not use his full name here, because of the slur) posting freq has dropped off a lot in the past years. At the same time as creamyitch (sorry, I don't know how to properly pronounce his name and Crémieux was made into the dutch CremeJeuk (jeuk = itch)) joined twitter. Odd coincidence.

And sadly, it wasn't somebody's porn alt.

[–] saucerwizard@awful.systems 8 points 6 days ago

Sure are a lot of real faces/names coming out to defend TPO.

lmfao my goodness isn't he just the most pathetic little prig

[–] Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems 11 points 6 days ago

You should have DM'd me and if you had I would have gladly re-written the thread or added a post with additional crediting. My DMs were open for you, and you knew that from experience, because we have DM'd before. As a courteous person, I'm not going to say what about in public, but I am going to say that you knew better than to blow up like you have.

... did they cyber?

Also not shocked to learn that Sabine Hossenfelder is an AGI-bro (also, she follows Crémieux), and involved enough in this wider community to think she should give her 2 cents. (for those not in the know Sabine Hossenfelder made a video about trans kids (??? y tho??) and it wasn't that great (badly sources for one, or only sourced using one side on some subjects), so it got some pushback, and there was the predictable non-apology (also lowkey blaming your researchers for the video is very classy, esp when you then take no responsibility at all)).

Yeah and as follows are chronological and limited, it was somewhat recent. So soon the 'both sides of the iq question debate', with a lot of content from our big friend Emil.

E: i do wonder how much she was love bombed by far right people after her bad video

[–] TinyTimmyTokyo@awful.systems 5 points 5 days ago

Not surprised to find Sabine in the comments. She's been totally infected by the YouTube algorithm and captured by her new culture-war-mongering audience. Kinda sad, really.

[–] YourNetworkIsHaunted@awful.systems 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Remember the ~two weeks when Sabine was a vaguely respectable science communicator? That was wild.

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 4 points 5 days ago

I actually missed it myself. I had seen here face a few times, wasn't that interested so the suggestions went away, and later I heard about her going into the anti-woke stuff. (The most recent thing, her support of the 'war on science' book (no not MAGA, the wokes!) was funny in a 'read the room/news, endless screaming' way).
