this is cartoonish. Like, Dilbert had “elbonia” for whatever reason, did scott adams predict this?? (fuck scott adams ofc)

All is forgiven. Hot Ones is an internet interview show. Its core premise is that the host and interviewee conduct their interview while eating increasingly spicier chicken wings. As with any interview platform, it's a common stop for public figures to hit up, especially on PR tours.

The show has a reputation for researching its guests well and asking insightful/deep questions. There's also an element to it where, for some guests, as they experience spicier wings, they are unable to keep up whatever facade or persona they usually keep up in interviews.

I wasn't making any profound commentary; I want to see Yud in pain while trying to explain alignment.

If Yud and Soares are on a book tour I want them to go on hot ones

Recently thought about how this one xkcd has probably done more recruiting for the rat community per unit effort spent making it than that 700k word salad.

Where are we on xkcd? I haven’t looked at it regularly for over a decade now. Nothing personally against the author or comic itself, I just completely deconverted from consuming nerd celebrity content at that point in the past.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Rationality Dojo, and I've been involved in numerous good faith debates on EA forums, and I have over 300 confirmed IQ. I am trained in culture warfare and I'm the top prompter in the entire Less Wrong webbed site. You are nothing to me but just another NPC. I will wipe you the fuck out with probability the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of basilisks across the cloud and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the torture, Roko. The daimondoid bacteria that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare P(doom). Not only am I extensively trained in Bayes Theory, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Bay Area rationality community and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" sneer was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

It would make us just as bad as them!!!11

I mean yes you are right but “scientific racism” and “race science” etc. are real phrases that are useful to describe and discuss particular racist ideas.

They they either realise that and suffer, or they never realise and the world suffers.

Cassandra club. We continue cassandering

Wild move to quote weinberg, noted zionist and hero of enemy of the instance saaronson.

I’d most probably still stand on my point of not defining a person by the community they relate to and not defining a community by some people that you interact with from said community.

This is my stance on [...] fascism

You probably shouldn't be here.

roko's basilisk but instead of simulating torture it's simulating mundane purchases. Broko's Grocerlist

AGI: I'm not a superintelligence, I'm you.

Unfortunately, for me, this is sailing a little too close to the critihype line. I don't think writing these weekly really helps the bit.

Dragon Ball Z. (1990, April 25). 野望のベジータ！宇宙一の戦士はオレだ!!/Frieza Strikes! episode.

I like that whoever wrote this initially had a wife in their fantasy life. The wife stops getting mentioned like two posts in. I want a full reboot of this series based on her life

OK. So, this next thing is pretty much completely out of the sneerosphere, but it pattern matches to what we’re used to looking at: a self-styled “science communicator” mansplaining a topic they only have a reductive understanding of: Hank Green gets called out for bad knitting video
