I used to do work maintaining a wiki, and the amount of random spam getting past spam filters (which somebody else maintained) was already pretty high then (esp when something was getting past the filters). I have no idea how bad it is nowadays, but I have a lot of respect for the people who maintain all our infrastructure and keep it shit free. (No not you google).

Qntm, one of the people who writes for the SCP Foundation site, also has a thread on it from the fiction writing angle.
Yeah but I was trying to combine complexity theory as a loose theory misused by tech people in relation to 'people who get fired'. (Not that I don't appreciate your post btw, I sadly have not seen any pro-AI people be real complexity theory cranks re the capabilities. I have seen an anti be a complexity theory crank, but that is only when I reread my own posts ;) ).
They now deleted their post and I assume a lot of others, but they also claim they have no time to really write and just wanted a collection of stories for their kid(s). Which doesnt make sense, creating 700 pages of kids stories is a lot of work, even if you let a bot improve the flow. Unless they just stole a book of children's stories from somewhere. (I know these books exist, as a child from one of my brothers tricked me into reading two stories from one).

Recently, I've realized that there is a decent explanation for why so many people believe that - if we model them as operating under a strict zero-sum game model of the world… ‘everyone loses’ is basically an incoherent statement - as a best approximation it would either denote no change and therefore be morally neutral, or an equal outcome, and would therefore be preferable to some.
Yes, this is why people think that. This is a normal thought to think others have.
Not sure if they still do it, but iirc the scp sire also had a "no roleplay" rule which is also pretty wise to get people into the mindset of treating it as fiction, and a way to tell stories. Gets people out of the mind of "what would I do in that world" and into "what would make the story better".
