TL;DR:

I rant a bunch about how the silly eschatology of Yudkowsky and his cult have been hijacked by monopolistic corporate goons to push generative AI. Figured y’all might be interested.

    And im not sure how much the mods want to change it into a support group.

    i mean, not really? while i don’t want to be needlessly cruel to recent leavers, and we can and have helped, that’s not why sneerclub exists. that said, there’s nowhere else, so they’re gonna end up here anyway. so i guess don’t be unfairly cruel. just fairly cruel.

      Yeah being a full-on support group sounds EXHAUSTING. But we definitely already fulfilled that role to a small extent for a small number of people, especially back on Reddit where this space and rationalist spaces were more porous?

      And I’m all for just cruelty to the eugenicists, neoreactionaries, and other nasties of the Rationalist movement. They have MORE than earned it. Something something Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance something something.
