  • it's interesting, looking at all this it, that he seems to be getting dragged kicking and screaming by his audience toward the realization that the real concern here is orchestrated harassment campaigns, not misalignment

  • there's no real definition of the term, but dark money group usually refers a group that helps its secret funders influence elections, rather than a lobbying group

  • new odium symposium episode. this one is a lot lighter than the previous two. we went back and looked at joseph swetnam, the guy the word misogyny was coined to describe, and how he got relentlessly dunked on by his peers.

  • i actually find the content pretty amusing, since it amounts to "have you guys tried using words correctly every once in a while?"

  • I often feel like our industry has lost its sense of whimsy and experimentation from the early days, when people tried weird things to see what would work and what wouldn't.

    hard to think of anything more dreary and whimsyless than shoving a rainforest into the gas tank of an llm

  • this is very insightful, and it sheds some light for me on something underappreciated: the way in which inceldom is not the same as not having sex. it's an ideology characterized by misogyny, misanthropy, and a sense of one's own brokenness, and in particular by a fixation on the sense of unrectifiable loss you describe. people really struggle with the idea that there are incels who have had sex or that someone can not have had sex and not qualify for the label incel.

    more generally, chan culture and its offshoots really successfully capitalized upon these tendencies in ways that seem to be underexamined. there's a reason /lgbt/ attracted so many trans people. if you went through the wrong puberty, you have suffered actual, extremely painful unrectifiable loss, and a culture that recognizes that and encourages wallowing in it can serve an oppositional role to a broader culture that just lies to you about what you've experienced. i rarely hear about this and when i do it comes wrapped in moralizing terms like "brain poison" which are in their own way accurate and useful, but which are not sufficient for a complete examination

  • my experience has been that it's actually driven primarily by the absolute weirdest ppl you will ever meet, these people having overlap with anything weird you can think of, including antisemitism, wellness fascism, inceldom, MRAs, etc, but not tending to be based particularly in any of those groups.

    all of which is unfortunate because i also think they are just correct in their claims that this is a real bodily autonomy issue
