Sneerquence classics: Eliezer on GOFAI (half serious half sneering effort post)
Is Scott and others like him at fault for Trump... no it's the "elitist's" fault!
This week's southpark makes fun of prediction markets! Hanson and the rationalists can be proud their idea has gone mainstream enough to be made fun of. The episode actually does a good job highlighting some of the issues with the whole concept: the twisted incentives and insider trading and the way it fails to actually create good predictions (as opposed to just getting vibes and degenerate gambling).
