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.]

That's a lot of words about what is or isn't a reliable source from one who doesn't seem to know what a reliable source is. For a person of these beliefs, it is not surprising at all that their criteria seem to be:

anything that agrees with them is reliable
anything David Gerard considers unreliable is reliable because David Gerard is a big meanie and won't include citations to HBD articles, uwu
anything that David Gerard or any friendly associate of David Gerard publishes is UNreliable, again because he is a meanie; see above, uwu

Dawg, maybe you need to step back from this all. As Voltaire once said, reality has a well-known liberal bias. Your beliefs are probably just counter to reality, and the corpus of data is not in your favour.

Also, billing David Gerard as "the Forrest Gump of the internet" in a tweet and not mentioning that you can plausibly blame him for the whole Musk X Grimes collab is a true fumble

also he lifted that line from me lol

lmao. Literally the only thing that had any truth or wit to it was plagiarised

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

he could have just said "as he calls himself", but nooo

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

now it's

He calls himself the Forrest Gump of the internet, and honestly, I can’t particularly disagree.

we'll get there, comment by comment! Or not.

Only one problem with this, he will not mention he edited days after publishing it, so then people go 'sneer club is whining about X, but the article clearly says Y they are lying again!' so hope somebody made an archive of the initial post. Wait, I can just check that. People did so interested parties could diff it.
