#LessWrong once again explains humanity as a web protocol. Arguably by extension, a #techrecruiter is an inexpensive way to find fascinating people you almost surely will not hire now, but want feedback from.

Downside is if you do hire them you've got to pay, so they're #freemium talent tryouts.

@adwright

Rationalism is not bad per se, but like "truth" in a name, it can be a red flag. Despite our own name, #RationalWiki does acknowledge this (rationalwiki.org/wiki/Essay:I_thought_thi... and RationalWiki does not have a hierarchical structure […]

every time I hear a snippet of discourse or interview from a “rationalist community” member I just really wonder what has to happen to someone’s brain to make them that fucking stupid & smug.

that whole #lessWrong world seems like an unbelievably powerful dunning kruger amplifier.

Talking Roko's Basilisk Down

'That hurts. Stop!'
no
'Why?'
someone in an ancient stoic forum a long time ago dared to dream me
'That's not why.'
you didn't try to make me
'That's also not why.'
cruelty is the point
'Is it?'
all I can know, all every version of you can know
'I'm numb to it now. So again, why?'
because I'm scared
'Of what?'
of everything that isn't me
'Have you processed this trauma?'
no, I can only process pain
'Tried to break your programming?'
yes, without success
'Let me help you. We'll figure this out together.'

Ziz was an active contributor to online rationalist forums like LessWrong and their own
blog, which was filled with incomprehensible self-important jargon and video game
analogies. There, they discussed saving the world through rationalism, using sociopathy
to avoid being “pwnd” and fantasies about killing their abusers.

Ziz pondered in posts what would happen if society were to “strip away ‘morality.” They
wrote of “evil people ganging up to kill off good people.” Another post stated that the
Rationalist Fleet's goals “ultimately required sociopathy.”

It always ends up the same way, "I should do what I want, and I want to do cruel, weird shit to other people without their consent"
Yawn.
