This is great.

What I’ve heard from my endless hours of comedy podcasts is that at corporate gigs like this, sometimes some execs start getting the idea that, because comedy is being performed, that they get to make some jokes too. Once they get up on stage, the worst possible mask off shit just pours forth. I kind of want to know if that happened.

I hate hate hate this so much. This is precisely the kind of smug, reductionist, dunning-kruger, every-problem-is-a-nail-and-programming-is-my-hammer type of shit that fuels my hatred of not only TESCREAL but pretty much everyone I meet in STEM.

Second, is the more common "IQ isn't intelligence" trick. Sure, the measure doesn't encompass everything that is making intelligence, but it is still a somewhat interesting proxy as there is a high correlation between intelligence and IQ.

Any time you see something like this, what it’s really saying is:

IQ is intelligence to me and nothing you say can dissuade me. I just have a high enough IQ to write a disclaimer for plausible deniability.

Sovereign citizen energy.

Can’t wait for an AI crank to demand cancer treatment because Siri looked sideways at a blurry photo of a lump on their butt. Can’t wait for a Scott to write a script/dialogue tree for getting DIY chemo kits.

The continuation of the stray cats thing:

One of these cats gave me fleas so I will no longer engage in petting stray cats

She’s 35 and her sum total understanding of culture and race has lead to this. I think she has been effectively a Nazi from way back.

Basically: “If we don’t platform the nazis, where will all the hard earned nazi money go?”

I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic.

Gonna ignore the urge to sneer at the tinfoil hattery here. See the rest of this comment section for that.

I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience

Sam, you have a doomsday bunker and a bunch of cash. This was one of your dream scenarios. Don't pretend like you're one of us.
