Well over a year ago it was actually useful. [...] And it just doesn't come up with interesting stuff any more.
i have to admit i'm deeply curious what outputs you considering interesting enough for twenty bucks a month

I don't think emojis should be the place to have a socio-political discussion.
have some entirely non-political emojis:
🗳️: BALLOT BOX WITH BALLOT
🇹🇼: FLAG: TAIWAN
🇵🇸: FLAG: PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES
🗽: STATUE OF LIBERTY
🤡: FACE OF "NON-POLITICAL" PERSON
i couldn't resist
at least when this rhetoric popped up around crypto and GameStop stocks, there was a get-rich-quick scheme attached to it. these fuckers are doing it for free
And yet, my opponents in discussion
good gods you're going to be the most insufferable kind of person, aren't you
You aren't going to convince me of anything
this was a bit of a given
bet you also think the climate cost of cryptocurrency is also a failing of the energy sector to deliver clean power to the innocent sweet little industrial-scale mining tycoons, don't you
you do an excellent job of writing. several times reading this i had to mentally delete paragraphs of explanations for some of the rationalist thoughts and ideology because you have described it perfectly in just a sentence or two.
shared this with some of my in-tech-but-skeptical friends. you deserve a bigger audience
thinking "typewriter monkeys", but maybe that's too literal
...gods i miss n-gate
"rat furry" :3
"(it's short for rationalist)" >:(
What of the sources he is less favorably inclined towards? Unsurprisingly, he dismisses far-right websites like Taki’s Magazine (“Terrible source that shouldn't be used for anything, except limited primary source use.”) and Unz (“There is no way in which using this source is good for Wikipedia.”) in a virtually unanimous chorus with other editors. It’s more fruitful to examine his approach to more moderate or “heterodox” websites.
wait sorry hold on
in a virtually unanimous chorus with other editors
so what is the entire point of singling out Gerard for this, if the overwhelming majority of people already agree that far-right "news" sites like the examples given are full of garbage and shouldn't be cited?
Note: I am closer to this story than to many of my others
ahhhhhhh David made fun of some rationalist you like once and in turn you've elevated him to the Ubermensch of Woke, didn't you
wow, that side-by-side is so obviously bad i'm surprised it even got posted. usually AI bros try to hide the worst of the tech, or at the very least, say shit like "this is only the beginning!!"
also, was not expecting to click that link and see FUNKe. good nostalgia
i started to read and just about choked when i got here
Why did evolution give most males so much testosterone instead of making low-T nerds? Obviously testosterone makes you horny and buff. But I think there is a second reason: you might kill yourself without it. Trans women have high suicide rates.
congrats on the most baffling, condescending explanation for the epidemic of suicidality among trans women. silly transes, it's not the persistent and systemic transphobia that makes you want to kill yourself, it's actually the fact that you have lower testosterone now. it's just science! wait what? "trans men have high rates of suicide too"? nah probably not
Anecdotally, my smartest oldest brother had low sex-drive and small muscles and killed himself. Eliezer's brother killed himself [citation needed] and if he was like Eliezer then he probably had low-T. My low-T nerd friends seemed kinda suicidal sometimes.
it was gross enough to watch this person try to prop up dead trans people to prove their point but even more bizarre to watch them do the same for their own older brother. not gonna even comment on the retroactive diagnoses based on "had small muscles" and "seemed suicidal to me"
and later in the footnotes
Nobody in the comments has presented any first-hand counter-evidence.
"nobody proved me wrong yet" is peak crank
what if we simply took the output of the easily manipulated word salad generator and parsed it into instructions for the computers that are in charge of all our communication to follow
