It is gonna be worse, they can back up their statements by referring to people who were actually there, but they person they then would be referring to is Tim Pool, and you can’t as an first principles intellectual of the order of LessWrong, reveal that actually you get your information from disgraced yt’ers like all the other rightwing plebs. It has to remain an unspoken secret.

You called them racist without proving from first principles it is bad to be racist, that they are racist, and their specific form of racism is also bad and will not lead to better outcomes in than being non-racist in the megafuture.

Well, the first thing I thought about was also the flag (but more because people brought it up a while back), and TIL about the SCP foundation (despite me talking about 4chan from time to time I never have been a channer, I have only very rarely posted some stuff in the roguelikes topic, and left when people let the neo-nazis in who kept calling people who asked a bit of money for a roguelike jews. Just sucks they never heard of the nazi bar stuff.

https://archive.is/PDgTJ this one seems to work. “The world should prepare for the looming quantum era: New breakthroughs underscore the technology’s potential and perils”

The headline jumps into the critihype already. (which might be justified by the article, im just judging the book by the cover)

Re the flag.

Not just that, but they also on a less malicious case id4chan, and now id6chan were also 4chan productions iirc. (With others from the internet also helping). Which documents all kinds of strange warhammer lore, the /tg/ interpretation of that and their various hate for certain authors of the games. For example https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Robin_Cruddace

Only for friends, so we should call him Mister Sneerclub. Or Her Sneer if you are German and want to be informal.

I put several hours of thought and effort into the concept and creating it,

Several hours of thought.

He is talking about an ice skating image where they are skating on flowing water, without skates. https://gwern.net/doc/fiction/gene-wolfe/suzanne-delage/2023-10-28-gwern-midjourneyv5-germanexpressionistlinocutofsinisternewenglandtowninwinter.jpg this image. It is supposed to evoke the idea of a declining town under draculas influence.

(Imagine if had just spend those hours on something else and paid an artist the same hours to make something. Or if he had grabbed a pencil or charcoal himself).

John Sneerclub

The problem is they dont read sneerclub well, so they dont realize we dont relitigate the same shit every time. So when they come in with their hammers (prediction markets, being weird about ai, etc) we just go ‘lol, these nerds’ and dont go writing down the same stuff every time. As the community has a shared knowledge base, they do the same by not going into details every time how a prediction market would help and work. But due to their weird tribal thinking and thinking they are superior they think when we do it it is bad.

It is just amazing how much he doesn’t get basic interactions. And not like we dont like to explain stuff when new people ask about it. Or often when not even asked.

Think one of the problems with lw is that they think stuff that is long, is well written and argued, even better if it used a lot of complex sounding words. see how they like Chris Langan as you mentioned. Just a high rate of ‘I have no idea what he is talking about but it sounds deep’ shit.

To quote from the lw article you linked on the guy

CTMU has a high-IQ mystique about it: if you don’t get it, maybe it’s because your IQ is too low. The paper itself is dense with insights, especially the first part.

Makes you wonder how many people had a formal academic education, as one of the big things of that is that it has none of this mystique, as it build on top of each other and often can feel reasonable easy and making sense. (Because learning the basics preps you for the more advanced stuff, which is not to say this is the case every time, esp if some of your skills are lacking, but none of this high-IQ mystique (which also seems the utter wrong thing to look for)).

So why did you have your first child?

Optimus found a gun.

That was a masterclass of missing my point. If they dont talk about it for natsec reasons they will not talk about it at all, not even hint. Because the hinting leaks the metadata. Leave the other side in unknown unknown. Pretty basic stuff tbh.

It is very important we do not congratulate you over this, or we will become linkedin!

How it started: gonna build the robotgod but nice

How it went: wow we need to teach people how to think.

How it ended: we cant do basic things people have done since we decided to walk upright because some people are mean.

Even 4chan can trade/coordinate/and have functional outcomes, sure often for evil. But most of us are not even active on lw. Skill issue. If you cant beat a bunch of sneerders who are not even participating what chance do they have against the godAI (same with not being able to convince one human).

eponymous sneerlcub

Eponymous even. Guess they don’t know who named sneerclub.

Some more sneering, why use make footnotes like you are actually linking to proof, it is done all over the place and it tricks me a lot ‘ah they backed it up with a source’ nope some random footnote which is so wordy it breaks the site on mobile.

the more likely it is that someone can get away with committing a crime, the harsher the punishment needs to be for that crime.

The death penalty of not just you but your whole family if you copy that floppy.

Now, does that mean that everyone is free to vote however they want?

The answer is a straightforward “no”.

Holy shit, hahaha what are you wasting your time on…

Scrolled down to the comments:

How would this situation play out in a world like dath ilan? A world where The Art has progressed to something much more formidable.

Yeah indeed how would they solve these problems in Ravenloft.

People are using llms to filter logs and alerts which will get someone hacked in a spectacular way eventually. Which will be very funny. And will give people 20 year old flashbacks.

Also buffer overflows are going to be back as the llm doesnt know to give the length of the correct string to the strncpy. Gonna be funny, if people keep proper backups.

Well they think the world is anti racist now. The hierarchy is the wrong way around. (Have not done a search for ‘the progressive stack’ yet but likely it has come up)

The unicode stuff amazes me as that is one of the things. That could actually be filtered for. Not doing any input validation. It isnt low hanging fruit, it is already on the floor. The incompetence…

Not a sneer, but there is this yt’er called the Elephant Graveyard (who I know nothing about apart from these vids) who did a three part series on Joe Rogan, the downfall of comedy, hyperreality, which is weirdly relevant, esp part 3 where suddenly there are some surprise visits.

(im joking dont do this).

In the netherlands we had a big cybersecurity grifter (who was invited onto talkshows while anybody with actual cybersecurity exp/knowledge went ‘wtf is she talking about’ it was really bizarre), who also claimed all her stuff was being done secretly and she wasn’t allowed to talk about it so think of that when people claim these secret national security claims. (And remember talking about you having a secret which you aren’t allowed to reveal is revealing something, so if people say this about quantum they are already a bit sus).
