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.]

this is fantastic! if you’ve ever got another one of these in you, feel free to tag it NSFW and post it here or on MoreWrite depending on what feels right. I live to see yud get destroyed in slow motion by real expertise
I've more than once been tempted to write Everything the Sequences Get Wrong about Quantum Mechanics, but the challenge is doing so in a way that doesn't just amount to teaching a whole course in quantum mechanics. The short-short version is that it's lazy, superficial takes on top of cult shit — Yud trying to convince the reader that the physics profession is broken and his way is superior.
I’d be happy to contribute what CS material I can to a multidisciplinary effort to prove that Yud’s lazy, superficial takes and cult shit are universal
I got as far as this blog post that I shared in the first days of new!SneerClub, but that was only a first stab.
Yeah, I've been writing up critiques for a year or two now, collected over at my substack. I've been posting them to the EA forum and even Lesswrong itself and they've been generally well received.
