Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Okay. Now that you've identified four candidates that LW might refer to, which of these do you think it is?

If you selected the obviously correct answer, congratulations. You have learned to apply context clues to understand unfamiliar abbreviations.

If you chose anything else...furrfu. I guess I pity anyone who ever attempts to hold a conversation with you.

[email protected] stated LW was an abreviation of Lemmy World.

The are not any references to Lemmy or lemmy.world in that paragraph.

All instances of "world" in the paragraph:

worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity

willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this

It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop

None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world

All instances of "willing" in the paragraph:

They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives

It does not refer to lemmy or lemmy.world

All instances of "will" in the paragraph:

mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good

It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop

None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world

The only word left is LessWrong, which is a forum with absolutely nothing to do with Lemmy or lemmy.world as far as I can tell.
