I somehow missed this one until now. Apparently it was once mentioned in the comments on the old sneerclub but I don't think it got a proper post, and I think it deserves one.

oh also, Tlon, the company behind urbit that certainly isn’t just Yarvin and Thiel hiding behind a shrub giggling, is a cult accelerator responsible for at least one high-profile death cult (Remilia, who host a bunch of infrastructure on urbit and are extremely active in the urbit community)

just in case you wondered if this rabbit hole led anywhere remotely sane

@self So basically it's like a science fiction novel, except that they haven't realised that it's one of those novels where the author develops an entire society based on some weird totalitarian cult just so they can spend the rest of the plot demonstrating how nutso said society is?

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.]
