I thin Anissimov was gone before I ever heard about the rats, and not a whole lot of his stuff made it to LessWrong.

(I think LessWrong was seeded with posts and comments from OvercomingBias' WordPress?)

Most people, the first time they hear Roko's Basilisk explained, are like "OMG that's so dumb". Completely as a reflex.

The minority who lack that reflex, tend to respond with a stoner-sophomoric "wow, that's deep".

The LessWrong/OvercomingBias subculture was set up to dismiss group 1.

old overcomingbias post which attempts to explain this kind of thing, but also squarely in the category of "things Yudkowsky said which his followers promptly ignored" which is why the author and date are amusing to me

specific irritant producing above pearl was some deckerstack quote tweet, which -- "say what you will about gentle silent rape . overcomingbias" -- lacks the originality of vision and autistic work ethic of the original master, so you're just left with the internet edgelordism. not great

robin hanson was there too. i try to forget that robin hanson exists completely, but he does. he is connected to this up at the overcomingbias node of the rat graph bsky.app/profile/star...
wait oh my god the great filter concept is from the sally-hemmings-consented-to-her-enslavement professor's blog what the fuck

this is the most accurate description of the degradation in quality, really old comments on overcomingbias are like 50% people who are realname posting many of whom are professors or otherwise notable people and the pseudonyms are also high quality. lesswrong is just notably much worse

moldbug was on OvercomingBias as a commenter around this same time so he's sort of always been baked into the community, he just wasn't very visible as anything but an odd screen name at the time

what would being excessively hostile twenty years ago have accomplished, besides getting you banned from the overcomingbias comment section or whatever?
July 6, 2025 at 6:48 PM
also that the path the subculture took occurred under extremely specific initial conditions

you have a couple leftist computer scientists hanging around overcomingbias back in the day and by 2020 "is AGI synonymous with what marx meant by communism" is a common topic of discussion
