Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Bostrom did a weird authoritarian longtermist suggestion.

(this is why im not a huge fan of the tescreal term, as this muddies the water quite a lot as this is a longtermist 'what about the tiny existential risk' thing rubbing against the transhumanist biohacking style stuff).

Sorry no nitter as I forgot the correct url (and also I heard the people behind the new nitter might suck a lot, as in they might be far right, but only heard that once so please don't take that as a confirmation, and more a me asking about it).

fuck me what

edit: LOL they had a data breach. Seems like that's a hard req to be a right-wing forum these days. https://globalextremism.org/post/poast/

there are few non-poast nitter instances barely limping along, but unless it actually comes back I think the best policy is to link normal twitter and let individuals manage what nitter instances, if any, they want to use:

TIL that Neoreaction A Basilisk has a tag on AO3. Only two works so far, but I'm sure we can improve on that.
