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've had to do a number of "aptitude tests" in conjunction with applying for jobs[1] and RPMs have been a staple.

  1. Swedish Defense Force aptitude test (you kind of stand out as middle aged among all the yoofs taking it)
  2. one for a job at a state-owned enterprise
  3. one for a job at an outfit selling this stuff for other companies[2]

I never really got a good score on them either!

[1] I don't really like this but beggars can't be choosers

[2] like I said, beggars can't be choosers, lucklily I didn't have to take the job
