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.]

So, the chatter over on Reddit sneerclub is that the author is a transphobic sex pest

I only know about the latter

At this point in time, having a substack is in itself a red flag.
Here I thought this was just some rando with a substack but it looks like the backstory on this guy is pretty extensive. He's admitted to the sexual harassment allegations, so that's confirmed. Vice cut off ties with him, so I'm glad to see powerful men facing consequences for their actions for once, at least as long as they're left wing columnists which is still something.
The most extensive coverage on the drama seems to come from human vulture Ian Miles Cheong, who reported that then former and future first failson of the United States Donald Trump jr. was also paying attention to this rare case of a sex pest getting his just deserts.
I couldn't find anything regarding the transphobia claims, but I didn't feel like digging too deep either. I wouldn't be shocked if a smarmy marxist from Normal Island turns out to have Normal Island opinions on trans people, especially given the random Sonichu snipe in the OP.
This is not a place of honor…
