CW: death/shooting

I guess I missed all of this. Here’s an article on the incident in which Emma was shot and killed:

It is difficult to determine as an outside observer as to what is the truth here. There are at least three narratives at play, and I can’t give any particular weight to any of them.

“ He's bragged about being the hidden hand behind some of the worst of the rationalist scene's abuse, egging on the wrong people and pushing them towards psychotic breaks, just to see if he can.”

Does anyone know more? Was he involved with Grognor (ugly story)?

Obvious reminder: do not assume that anonymous tumblr posts are accurate. (this is the only post the tumblr account made).

Has anyone attempted a neutral unpacking of the mess of claims and counterclaims around Ziz and related parties?

That would honestly be a job for a real journalist.

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.]
