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.]

I choose to believe that S.Aa wrote some antisemitic prompt into his LLM of choice to make the slop at the head of the post, causing himself extreme psychic damage.

Not saying anything new here: what’s on display is what we already understand about Scott. Aside from a few examples, Scott can only understand things in a narrow, zero-sum, chad/jock vs incel/nerd/nice-guy framework.

E: straight from the horse's fingertips:

Obviously I did not and would not generate that cartoonishly antisemitic image. One of Peter’s fans sent it to me, calling it a “diagram” that would help me understand the situation in the Middle East, trying to get a rise out of me. Now he’s sending me emails about how the image isn’t antisemitic, since it obviously only targets Orthodox Jews (!). Yes, I had to pick a name when I saved the image, so I called it “woitworldview.png.”

Hearsay, my original belief stands. (jk)

E2: in the comments of Woit's blog, the "cartoon guy" commented, owning up to generating the slop, with a pretty shitty comment that I will not replicate here. (Yes, I could continue the bit by saying this is a Scott sockpuppet. No, I will not be doing that.)
