it's outrageous the NYT called Scoot a racist like Charles Murray! also, Scoot agrees with race science, precisely as Murray does. Also, the leaked 2014 email is only outrageous if you hadn't read SSC

  • On their substack the author claims they are “doing non-ideological […] reporting”, which means they are definitely doing ideological reporting. Let’s see…

    next most recent post titled “the dawn of woke ai” says pretty much what you’ll guess it does from the title. It also features the AI rendered POC nazis from a bit back as evidence of “woke”ness… Fun!

  • Sure, that is a line from one of the choruses. It does not seem to be the focus of the album. Discussions of song meanings aside, just to be clear about what is going on here:

    • you are in the wrong place if you’re here to ideate about what technology can do without considering the consequences

  • Something that Musk commissioned is badly constructed? That’s a first.

    insert that clip from the IT crowd but instead of “made in britain” it’s “made by musk”

  • Kind of a tangent: to me it seems that there’s a penchant for right wing accusations to be projections of right wing wrongdoing onto other parties. My go to examples would be fake news (should be self explanatory) and corruption (e.g. Soros bucks).

    What would the lab leak correspond to? Off the top of my head I might go with the opioid epidemic, if only so that I don’t speak a US originated virus lab leak into existence.

  • If I were the judge handing out the sentence:

    “Well, if your son is a strict utilitarian, let it be known that I am a utility monster and would derive infinite utilcoins from him being in jail for a million forevers.”

    I would not make a good judge.

  • This quote might serve as something members should keep in mind, but I don’t think it works as an argument on its own

    Putting aside the idea of it being an argument, I think you gotta have a bit more self-esteem in your cause, mate. I’m no animal rights activist, but even I can see that animals are living beings that can be harmed, unlike the unborn or simulated. It’s absolutely a worthy cause.
