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.]

“Here’s the deal,” the Urbit crew heard the No Agency guy say. “You give me back those twenty hats, I give you back your five thousand dollars, and I never fucking talk to you again.” (thepointmag.com)

@dgerard "this difficulty is a feature, not a bug." That is never a good sign. I'm reminded of intentially limited released black metal albums. (Which always sucked, and were just generic BM slop).

"Yarvin claims to have worked for six years on the first 42 lines of code" 42? That can't be an accidental number. Yarvin is such a ready player one. (Weird the journalist didn't notice).

or holds the fantasy that Urbit or nock is the answer to life, the universe, and everything from the hitchhiker’s guide — same difference really

the journalists I’ve seen covering urbit so far haven’t been fantastic — nobody has truly torn into it, and playing both sides with something like this (as this article does breathlessly talking about the artists and authors who use Urbit without evaluating their output at all, or when other obvious bullshit is uncritically echoed) is dangerous and allows shitheads like Yarvin to build their own mythology unchallenged

the line i quote was worth it, however, and it is one of the sources i can use for the wiki article muwahaha

oh most definitely, these articles are still goldmines just for how hard the stupidity of the Urbit crowd shines through on its own merit

i went through all of google news and these seem to be the only usable press articles on these fucks. then i went through all of Google Books and there's nothing in there either. urbit is barely notable, but at least i get to make fun of it.
