What does rationalism have to do with AI?

You’re seriously asking me that?

Nevermind, go have fun with it then, I’m not interested

No I seriously stand by it, even though I find the writing, structure, and pacing mediocre at best (just like thousands upon thousands of other fics), its emergence as an entry point to most people to rationalists and the whole cult of AI is genuinely pissing me off, because now we have american techbros who can just say “roko’s baselisk” to make investors shit money out of fear of their actually-not-a-cult-homegrown devil, and a homegrown hell, that they’re then condemning everyone in, unless they get more money to create their god

HPMOR is unironically the worst thing to have come out of Harry Potter, other than Harry Potter itself

(I’ll take my Draco x Harry fics tho)

Do you know some keywords perhaps?

Thanks, I didn’t know the exact events between 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 is very interesting

Imo this (the “post from your photo gallery” thing) created an unusually diverse atmosphere, where (more or less) everything went, and unexpected amounts of vibes were created

Since most people looking at the sub would probably already be looking at other shitposting places (on or off reddit), and so they’d have the latest freshest memes in their collection, sometimes ones that wouldn’t ordinarily be posted on main meme subreddits

Of course, after a while, people started converging their posts more and more, turning it into more of an actual themed subreddit, and they started diverging from saying just “rule”, to “XYZ rule”, or incorporating “rule” into a sentence they’d accompany the image with

Also, a sorta pseudo-conversation, question, or announcement/soapbox atmosphere got created with some of the images, where someone would say or ask something with a meme that you could also ask in the more general minded subreddits (unpopularopinion or askreddit, for example), or just comment on the meta of the sub

The original rule of the subreddit was that you don’t leave without posting a (random) image in your phone’s photo gallery

Since you can’t really make a post with no title, the lazy-ish attitude made people just post the picture with just “rule” as the title, as if they’re saying “I’m posting this because of the (sub) rule”

1. There was an old subreddit called 195, apparently it was the street number of a home of a bunch of friends who all knew eachother and moderated/populated a subreddit together. This subreddit eventually ended after it grew a lot, had a bunch of good vibes, and was a good time.
2. Someone made 196, the successor to 195, with mostly the same vibes, but was a subreddit in the meandering kind of way, as most subreddits are
3. With the move off of reddit, people made 196 as a stand-in for “queer friendly good quality shitposting community”, and a few of them exists/existed, and this is one of them
