Really, it was the headlines of Google’s AI Overview pulling Reddit shitposts that inspired the return. If Reddit is going to sell its data to Google, then, you know, maybe flood the zone with sludge?

Makes sense. AI and bad philosophy go together like negative peanut butter and chocolate.

Oh you didn’t know? It’s much better than that. Were it not for /r/badphilosophy, /c/sneerclub simply would not be!

Of course, like the Basilisk herself, we should have had to invent it anyway, but it is with /r/badphilosophy that the soul of /c/sneerclub descends from the heavens to find its place in the grim corporeality down here

Since Google has a deal with Reddit I’m sure they have a whitelist or blacklist for subreddits. There’s no way /r/shittyaskscience is given the same weight, if any, as /r/askscience despite the responses being of similar structure.

“Surely Google will make a smart decision” is a hill surrounded by corpses.

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.]
