Before AI Doomer Coxon’s ‘hilbertspaess’ account was made this year, an account by that name had previously been created and deleted at least two times prior. And, according to the Internet Archive, the first display name on that account was ‘Jacob Coxon’. So it’s reasonable to say that it was his account then too, and thus its posts are his unfiltered intellect.

Someone on Twitter by the name Dugan Nash put together a dedicated archive of hilbertspaess’s old tweets from the internet archive, hosted at https://hilbertspaess.pages.dev/

The things a rationalist doomer bro was posting on twitter in 2022 might surprise you! If you somehow weren’t expecting to see anything about IQ, the Holocaust, AI, or NFTs.

i also wonder if this is going to lead to an intramovement schism of some kind, if only because a lot of the activists i've noticed turning (or being recruited) towards xrisk shit on the activist level (esp the student activist level) are ex-climate activists. i don't know if the belief that ai xrisk is the One Risk To Rule Them All has just fully slid into the climate change place in these activists' minds or if there's enough lingering reality principle attunement there to give them pause. but i also don't know enough about the way EA types talk to their activist recruits to know if they're being allowed into the full "it's all about the robots" inner sanctum or if the ideologues keep the activists in the sort of "no other existential risks are important too we promise that we believe that 100%" not-yet-clear zone

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.]
