And I'm sure that your snide remark will both tell them what to simplify and explain how to do so.

Enjoy your free trip to the egress.

I mean, no, not really? "New AI is not as energy-efficient as first advertised" is just a special case of "AI is not as advertised", i.e., the least surprising turn of events.

It's true: The sneerclub mod interface is a replica of the mummification machine from Young Sherlock Holmes, and when we ban people, we actually drown them in wax.

It only works with the chanting, of course.

Given the ... calibre of thinking on display in his other tweets (xharts?), I wouldn't be surprised if he just typed "Zizians" into Reddit's search box; /r/sneerclub currently comes up a few times near the top of results there.

second warning: an xcancel search for "zizians" turns up so much transphobia that you'll feel like it's a late night on the Nebuchadnezzar and Tank accidentally loaded your brain with JK Rowling instead of kung fu.

Do the Zizians fit in the "rationalist/EA/risk community"? Gosh and golly gee.

Yuddites and Zizians are a better example of the "narcissism of small differences" than any of the ones that Siskind propped up.

From the comments:

Sounds like it could be the plot of a mystery novel akin to JK Rowling’s Cormoran Strike series.

The author is very much that type of guy:

Florida Man. Individualist. Free minds and free markets. Distrustful of ideologies, whether left or right.
