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.]

With the caveat that while sea-steading in principle intended to leave the mainland alone, charter cities aim to enclose an existing parcel of land and set up a rival polity within the country and give it preferential access to resources over its immediately adjoining neighbours
I’m honestly not gonna say that in principle if your aim is to do 21st century industrialisation within a liberal capitalist system in a Global South country - with all that that entails - that it isn’t gonna work, but advertising it as an unalloyed good without any recognition of the intense ambiguity of such a project is the most recklessly hubristic thing imaginable
