As we don't have a top level post about this already (nor on reddit) I thought why not make one. Archive.is

Extremely likely the guy was a lesswronger, or at least radicalized by that sort of thinking.

But not much else seems to be known as far as I can tell. Corbin also posted about the HN reactions in the stubsack.

And remember, no fed posting.

Edit: looks like his house also got shot. Archive (after the speculation in this thread, makes you wonder if this was a follow up false flag, as the bottle didn't break last time).

Wouldn't put it past Altman to pull a Jussie Smollett style self attack to garner sympathy as his company goes down the drain.

garner sympathy

He posted a response that criticizes the recent news article about him (of all the times he has acted like a sociopathic liar), and HN was eating it up, so even if this isn't an intentional false flag he is still playing it that way pretty effectively.

he learned from the best, THIEL.

too bad not really many people like him to begin with, just like with THIEL. elon has at least a fanbase, that he built up through the years with tesla.

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.]
