Calling for indefinite moratorium on lab-grown meat development
  • @bitofhope Dont worry happens all the time. I'm actually secretly Yud, I just post here to take myself less seriously.

  • @bitofhope tag serious posts NSFW please. Ow wait, that was the old place.

  • @dgerard Don't put too much effort in for me. I already am a bit weary of SC now being boosted to people who follow me on mastodon. Risk of people either getting into LW or thinking sneerclub wants you to go 'talk to' the Rationalists is a bit high.

    That I have also seen people use the word TESCREAL (urgh, not a fan of the term) against leftwingers who are just into nuclear power, or who fear degrowth will only affect the poor is worrying.

  • @dgerard I have no idea how to post in awful.systems from my mastodon account, even replying can be a bit weird, as I can reply, but only if I find a link to a post here first (on masto.ai).

  • @saucerwizard @maol Remember when of the directors of MIRI suggested people go to scientology courses? (but only if you are mentally strong enough!) https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/qwdupkFd6kmeZHYXy/build-small-skills-in-the-right-order

  • you need way too much familiarity with the rationalist subculture to appreciate this one fully, but my goodness this moderation notice
  • @dgerard "Oh, no, it's absolutely negative. I don't like you. I just don't specifically think that you are disgusting, and it's that bit of the reaction to the analogy [he is a very weird bug which has not, yet, sprayed me personally with defensive bug juice or bitten me with its weird bug pincers.] that caught me by surprise."

    Amazing, it is like all of them burned out their empathy brain parts on purpose.

  • @swlabr @dgerard Fight declared a draw after one fighter shouted 'your mom is also called Martha?'

  • i guess sneerclub must just hate understanding things. yes, that must be it.
  • @swlabr @dgerard "I thought rationalists were supposed to be strict mistake theorists" No, and this is imho an important problem with the whole of Rationalism. As you attacked Rationalists, the whole mistake/conflict theorists theory is just a way to describe different modes of thinking both are valid. Now that this conflict is cleared up, we can go back to calling you a filthy conflict theorist (you know who also were conflict theorists? Right, the nazis!). If only we had a name for this.

  • @swlabr We live in the post truth era, so nothing can be proven, but don't forget to include 'grimes is a troll' (https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2021/10/grimes-the-communist-manifesto-karl-marx-photos-trolling-elon-musk-breakup) in your bayesian calculations of this being AI generated. ;)

  • @swlabr @gnomicutterance The chatgpt likes run out of tokens right? Or is that just a constraint by the people running it to reduce costs?

    Anyway, iirc her EX/Xdaddy also runs sockpuppets so I wouldn't be surprised if she did too.

    Anyway all those 'I used an AI to generate X, here are the responses' were also highly edited things a few years back. Easier to just write something yourself and pretend it was AI generated for clout.

  • I haven't seen people wilfully misunderstand all possible criticism of them so hard since the last time rationalists hit the headlines, with Scott Alexander
  • @self @gerikson Combined with fact that they started this post as an invitation for dialogue, an attempt to bridge the gaps, but it quickly turns into reasoning from first feelings, and dismissal of the actual experts.
