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.]

“Here’s the deal,” the Urbit crew heard the No Agency guy say. “You give me back those twenty hats, I give you back your five thousand dollars, and I never fucking talk to you again.” (thepointmag.com)

literally Thiel pouring money on four fashy podcasters to pretend that there's a burgeoning neoreactionary art scene

The idea -- that everyone is going to willingly turn into a tradcath e-girl or e-boy -- is ludicrous on its face. Dasha and her tankie friends can cosplay as fascists all they like. Peter the Impaler can dump as much money on them as he likes. It's just never going to work. But, like you said, it's been great for the memes.
