Yeah, typical reactionary spiral, it’s bad. Though at least this one doesn’t have a bit about how rape is cool actually.

ethics laundering

yeah i tried but i don’t think this was meant to be read by anyone.

Interesting commentary on LessWrong

I don’t think this would fit into the 2022 review. Project Lawful has been quite influential, but I find it hard to imagine a way its impact could be included in a best-of.

Including this post in particular strikes me as misguided, as it contains none of the interesting ideas and lessons from Project Lawful, and thus doesn’t make any intellectual progress.

One could try to do the distillation of finding particularly interesting or enlightening passages from the text, but that would be

• A huge amount of work[1], but maybe David Udell’s sequence could be used for that.

• Quite difficult for the more subtle lessons, which are interwoven in the text.

I have nothing against Project Lawful in particular[2], but I think that including this post would be misguided, and including passages from Project Lawful would be quite difficult.

For that reason, I’m giving this a -1.

lmao no fucking way

Completely tangential but I’m idly wondering now what are some domains where things being on a bell curve would be an intriguing thing to talk about.

this is so stupid. this is what happens when you’re so enamoured with your metaphor that you don’t stop and think what it is exactly you’re trying to describe.

which i suppose is exactly how an LLM would write so he might be right in his case.

Oh well done, you added noise to a line going up!

I like how climate-change denying trolls in the replies are mainly advancing these two arguments:

• Temperature hasn’t been rising over the 20th century, it’s only an artefact of changing thermometers
• It used to be even warmer during the Roman Empire anyway

he really is the worst isn’t he
