I predict Sam will lose big on the S&C claims. They have made fuckin bank on this bankruptcy, but also their fees have already been ruled entirely reasonable given the shitshow in question, and the near complete recovery for creditors will make them look even better.

the robot DJ from the pic mixin’ choons, that’s fine however

nobody mentioned this particular incident, dude just threw it into the discussion himself

largely not available digitally, though someone’s putting together a Borsook reissue

surely this is a post about tech nazis, and not a post about how to argue language design features.

Cyberselfish by Borsook, several books by Dery but particularly Escape Velocity

Mark Dery and Paulina Borsook nailed these fuckers square on in the '90s, but nobody reads books

it’s a shitty paper but even they couldn’t avoid the point forever

the story of open source burnout for the past 20 years is that venture philanthropy was not a thing, quite the opposite

“He comes from the Bay Area, being techfash is part of his culture”

amused to see even /r/hyprland thinks omarchy is dumb shit

oh lol it’s even worse

crikey. I assume the CV is in good order and kept updated on the job sites just to see what comes in.

ty!

tell me you didn’t subject yourself to glowfic

the talking point about disparaging terms for AI users by choice “I came up with a racist-sounding term for AI users, so if you say ‘clanker’ you must be a racist” is so fucking stupid it’s gotta be some sort of op

(esp when the made-up racist-sounding term turns out to have originated with Warren fucking Ellis)

i am extremely disappointed that awful systems users have fallen for it for a moment

first time i spoke to a rationalist about the AI doom thing in 2010, he tried to sell me on scientific racism

yudkowsky was making posts literally of race scientist talking points in 2007

the historical record shows Thiel has literally always been like this

tried reading his '90s book once, managed a few pages

I have no hope. The guy who introduced me to LessWrong included what I later realised was a race science pitch. Yudkowsky was pushing this shit in 2007. This sucker just realised a coupla decades late.
