I don't think this is a *great* article about who Scott Alexander Siskind is or why people care about him But the NYT doing this article is what kicked off this whole recent shitstorm, so it's a good starting placehttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/13/technology/slate-star-codex-rationalists.html …

There's a lot of people now sniping at him that he's going after Scott out of romantic jealousy (even though it's years later and he's the one Ozy ended up with)
