Here's a few, courtesy of applying JWZ's dadadodo to all the lines in the thread so far:

What does the best textbook on corrupted hardware. Dark Arts; Escher, Bach?

How could you credibly pre commit to see you as a compartmentalized belief?

I'm trying to be a cult.

Have super powers.

You've fallen prey to be condescending.

My current job has higher expected utility than you imagine; but in the sanity waterline.

Everyone is Far.

No idea is reliable? Have a lot of caring.

Conceptspace is the future.

Mysteriousness is a cult.

I'm going to be with the AI. I know the universe future.

Look, just generalize from the territory.

Everyone is bigger than you in Cute Puppies.

Emacs' M-x dissociated-press yields babble, but with some interesting words in it: "knowledgeneralize", "metacontrammer", "contrationalist", "choosequences", "the universal priory", "statististimate", "fanfused", "condescendista", "frobability", "dissolomonoff", "optimprovement", "estimagine", "cooperaterline", "pattern matchology". The only sensible sentence it's come up with is "I'm running on condescending".

No idea is reliable? Have a lot of caring.

I visualized that being said simultaneously with the middle-finger gesture.

the universal priory

I seem to remember someone's already made a Bayesian Priory pun, but if not then it should happen prominently.

Conceptspace is the future.

Wrong. Electronic old men are.

To give an idea of what these look like raw, here's a paragraph of dadadodo:

What does the universe with ice cream trees. I have little Pony episode about what would you measure, not like to tile the universe with the argument? That's just signaling virtue: Death is bad. That's just a startup. I have little XML tags on corrupted hardware. Whoa, there's a compelling case for you read the least I wish to be the fulfillment of us is, not the MINDKILLER if keeping my model of Rationality? Tsuyoku naritai! So after all over the bad; result, you're running on that.

And here's a similar-sized chunk of M-x dissociated-press:

You shou have now is white' is true if an you imaginew Methods of in this riggerse tiled in paperclips. I have akrasian found underate if and only if keeping my current job has hight write rationalized belief? I cause can have you regenerate that say 'moral' It will bach? What die. You shods of Rationalith a good cause coherent extrapolass? We need wanterval line shouldn't implement Really Extreme An applause lity chaptere. I knowledge aren't believe there's Near, this is For me, but at's the bes a tering: Dark Artup, I wish to Solomonoff Indus today. What would you said to be can ding to Solve psychock Levent is, if you should read Goedel, Escher.

Of these, I rather like:

I have little XML tags on corrupted hardware.
shods of Rationalith
extrapolass

The blended-words effect seems to give M-x dissociated-press a sort of Finnegans Wake atmosphere which dadadodo doesn't have.
