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.]

In a letter to the judge, Ellison’s mother, professor Sara Fisher Ellison, wrote that Ellison has completed a romantic novella and is already at work on a follow-up. The finished novella is “set in Edwardian England and loosely based on [Ellison’s] sister Kate’s imagined amorous exploits, to Kate’s great delight,” her mother wrote.

eleven fucking billion with a B dollars

Sure in digital monopoly money, but how much was that in real money put into the system?

no this was the actual fiat value

the ftx fraud is fucking wild. everything about it is insane.

Right, and then she gets less time than people who shoplifted a few times.

And less time than her partner-in-crime, who went out of his way to show a complete lack of remorse and a strong willingness to reoffend, all whilst lying out his ass to basically everyone.

Honestly, SBF's antics probably helped make Ellison look like her role in this was much smaller than it actually was

Ryan Salame went down hard though, basically for being a huge asshole

his stuff in the Lewis book is amazing. Lewis seems actually sympathetic to Salame and he still sounds like the stupendous shithead he is out his own mouth
