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.]

@cstross @zogwarg Here’s the fun part, though - if every citizen of Nauru sold up to some dudebro and left that wouldn’t necessarily extinguish Nauru’s ongoing existence as a state with its own laws and constitution, so they could all sit in their penthouses bought with his cash and act as a legitimate government in exile, including the ability to pass a law rendering all the sales null and void so they could boot him back off the island and keep his money. And given that Australia has a strategic interest in keeping Nauru both independent and friendly they’d almost certainly help out militarily if requested.
