The EA community is generally incapable of self-awareness. The academic-but-totally-misinformed tone is comparable to reading LLM output. I've stopped trying to correct them, it's too much work on my part and not enough on theirs.

I once went into a LessWrong IRC server.

I posted a question where I referred to something by the wrong name.

Someone said I was confused / wrong, so I corrected myself and restated my question.

For some 10 minutes they just kept dogpiling on the use of the wrong term.

Never a bunch a stupider people have I met than LessWrong people.

Reminds me why I learned long ago to never post your code online when looking for help.

50 replies arguing about how you can simplify your for() loop syntax and not one reply with an actual answer.

What does EA means here ?

"Effective Altruism", something I find myself aligned with but not to the extremes taken by others.

It's like Mensa: if you really want to be a part of Mensa and be known for that, are you really that smart?
