Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

I’m in the wrong line of work. were these fucking gold plated? did they give every recipient 1024 copies as a symbol of the simulated torture they’ve earned? am I going to find a copy of HPMOR in the nightstand at the next cheap hotel I stay at?
JFC what a crappy prize.
EGMO 2019 is apparently European Girl's Mathematical Olympiad (2019's venue was Kyiv, Ukraine)
Despite the name it seems to be an international competition, with participants from the US, KSA, Peru and Mexico: https://www.egmo.org/egmos/egmo8/scoreboard/
If we defined "winners" to be those with gold medals, it's unclear to me whether the participants can read HPMOR in English - there are 3 winners from the US, 1 from the UK, and 3 from Latin America. The rest are from countries from the former Warsaw pact.
