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.]

I feel a little out of the loop on this one. Am I missing something?

BJ vague-tweeted about having his heart broken by a girl in a way that, unfortunately for him, is subject to peer review. The particular peer here is the girl in question.

On one hand, this would be mortifying; on the other hand, BJ should be mortified.

Wait, is that not a Jeff Bezos parody account? The post reads like one.

Unless the "parody post" is referencing an actual rumor that the par-rumoured responded to?

Unless unless this is all theater and both base post and the response are but mere fabrications.

What are we, cosmicly? I'm out of the loop.

The "Ruthless" joke is one I remember from effing "Swallows and Amazons", the ancient British children's book, where one of the protagonists calls herself Nancy instead of her given name Ruth, because she's a pirate and pirates are ruthless.
