For those wondering about the LessOnline event, here’s the actual plan

dgerard,
@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

a dance concert led by the Fooming Shoggoths, with many songs that didn’t make it onto their April 1st album

dunno about you, but that absolutely informs me about the event in fullness

@dgerard@awful.systems avatar

good to see that LessWrong is about improving human rationality to decrease the existential risk of superintelligent AI, and not long screeds on current political issues from a reactionary perspective

Aha! It turns out Cremieux is the r/slatestarcodex poster formerly known as /u/Tr–yPorn0 (slur dashed out), or TP0 for those who don’t even want the slur in dashed-out form. A really persistent race scientist with a habit of (a) misrepresenting the papers he spammed as links (b) misrepresenting himself. He used to run a tiny blog as “Cremieux” when he was claiming to be an economist from Liechtenstein. Then he got pumped by the other race scientists. So I expect this to very much be Racist Fest.

some past hits from TP0:

his style is gish gallops and paywalled papers that turn out not to support his claims, and citing Emil Kirkegaard’s pseudojournals a lot

it’ll be interesting to see his reaction to the room full of race scientists. I wonder how well they can hide their power level.

It got a malware infection and nobody bothered fixing it. By the end its commenters were enjoying long threads entirely composed of dogwhistles.
