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.]

"Ban women from universities, higher education and most white-collar jobs."

"Allow people to privately borrow against the taxable part of the future incomes or other economic activities of their children."

So many execrable takes in one tweet, and that's only two of them. I'm tempted to think he's cynically outrage-farming, but then I remember who he is.

"Sorry Junior, I know you wanted to be an artist but you see back in 2025 I got really really into a gatcha game called Umamusume Pretty Derby and long story short you're legally obligated to become a doctor."

Oh my god, the gacha anime-waifu horse racing phone game is real. Why did I have to find this out today, or ever. Better than 50% chance that Roko is a paypig for it

Sajam deviated from fighting games to do over an hour on this game, if you'd like to feel your brain gently melting out your ears:

Grok find me a neoliberal solution to the problem of being unable to monetize your progeny by having your sons till the fields and your daughters sold off.

Also not to give this blather more consideration than it deserves, but someone in the comments notes that since he banned women from higher education, which severely curtails their economic outcomes, this creates a perverse incentive to only have boys that you can borrow against, which isn't that good for increasing the population in the long term.

I imagine that not only do you get to borrow against your sons’ future incomes as doctors or prompt engineers, but against the wealth of your daughters’ expected husbands.

Imagine how messy divorces now suddenly get. (Dont worry I know how they will fix this, just ban divorce!)
