As a mild tangent off this, just how many fucking things these dipshits have infected infuriates me. One of the most prominent ways I can think of is Star Trek Discovery, which in 3 different phases/places tried to be oh so edgy by riding the horses of musk praise, ai panic, and a variant of the christian futurist eschatology

Even in the very moment of seeing it they were jarring experiences. It’s going to age so, so badly.

Oh shit, I remember the Musk namedrop in Discovery. Didn’t they name him alongside historical scientists and inventors? I seldom feel actual cringe but that was actually embarrassing.

Yeah they namedropped him and people tried to rationalize this as not being bad (after Musk was revealed to be a dipshit to people who were paying less attention) by saying 'it was the evil mirror universe captain who said it' but that didn't seem that convincing to me. (esp as the rest of the crew didn't react to it, which you can rationalize away with 'well he is the captain, you don't go argue with them about stuff like this').

Trying to imagine what would a mirror universe Musk gets up to. I think any level of notoriety for him inevitably ends in execution after some failed palace intrigue.

Intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic like cartman was kind.

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.]
