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.]

the official word on our end is: no idea! we’re monitoring @[email protected]’s post over there with interest.
in a typical reddit fashion the post is getting downvotes despite just asking the obvious question.
I'm a bit weirded out that new posts on a year dead subreddit suddenly get ~50-100 upvotes
to be honest, I’m getting a weird vibe off the resurrected /r/SneerClub in general. that might just be me though
Scabs the lot of them!
snabs?
/u/completely-ineffable, who founded the sub, and closed the sub a year ago, literally just made a post! That’s all that happened! I’m distantly in touch with that person! Everything is fine! In fact I’d almost be tempted to theorise it was all a dumb ruse to see if you lot turned out to be crazy people!
And it seems to have worked wonders!
Who even put the term “resurrected” in there? It’s one post, followed by a smattering of others including posts bickering about the supposed resurrection! What monstrous goings on are people permitting themselves to imagine?
People are still subscribed to the subreddit. When a post gets made, it goes on their reddit feed. Lots of mobile users in particular will just have seen it pop up while doomscrolling.
They had a lot of subscribers.
“Why, for fuck’s sake?”, as an illucutionary act, seems to do a lot more than simply “asking the obvious question”
But it is, indeed, in typical reddit fashion to omit that sort of thing from one’s own complaint about the response one got to one’s provocation, notwithstanding the traditional SneerClub response to user’s complaints, which is of course “if you want to leave, but can’t, we can help with that”
