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.]

Big Tech Backed Trump for Acceleration. They Got a Decel President Instead [404 Media] (www.404media.co)

A nice and solid mockery of just how badly e/accs derailed their own plans by getting Trump elected. I'll let the subtitle(?) speak for itself:

Effective accelerationists didn’t just accidentally shoot themselves in the foot. They methodically blew off each of their toes with a .50 caliber sniper rifle.

I have not read the article yet, but isn't part of the whole accellerationism thing that you accelerate the decline of the current system so your glorious new system can arise (because it is obviously better). Seems to me like it is the same stuff, they just disagree which faction will prevail after the fall.

E: amazing they only now realize they cant galt gulch it out, and that they are part of the world. Damn evil Ents, this is why your wives left you.

Yeah, accelerationism before e/acc always had the consequential component of “society breaks down as a result of the rapidly worsening situation”. So like many things out there, tech people have co-opted this term and corrupted its meaning. M18n, in his deranged e/acc post, decided that the accelerationism part just meant the gotta go fast part; his assertion was that more tech fast == more society gooder, with no mention of “democracy collapses and the tech bros take over”

To steal and butcher Davids/Buttcoins (no idea who came up with it) slogan. 'they are explaining it wrong, but no they can't be that stupid right?'
