They did do one on Yud, it's hard to find and has an annoying amount of side chatter but it's a pretty solid breakdown of the dude.

The episode is mentioned here: https://shatterzone.substack.com/p/rationalist-harry-potter-and-the

But I can no longer find it on YouTube.

Every TC article I've seen recently is furious jerking about how totally legal AI is and how it will finally defeat the copyright Great Satan.

Do you have an article about this?

Jibo, Juicero... it is possible to get one's hands on one of Theranos's machines?

Meta: reddit sneerclub appears to be open again. Is this an authorized action or has Reddit scabbed it?

I like that RGB LEDs default to flashing rainbow.

Full disclosure: I am one of the most prolific posters on /r/aiwars because arguing on the internet is my vice and it is an infinite source of people to argue with. The guy who posted your example of nazi shit has apparently blocked me, but I have absolutely seen it there in the past, albeit in a thread full of people shitting on the mod for not blocking the dude.

fair share of doomsday rats have sneaked in trying to co-opt the movement

There's a group called "Pause AI" that is exactly this, EA funded (iirc) org trying to astroturf artists against AIart.

Setting up email and actually getting into people's mailbox isn't trivial.

Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I'm hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they're more than welcome) if he's going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it's a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.

Rhysider's editorial comments come off a bit naieve and even a bit childish at times. His good attitude is sort of infectious though.
