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.]

Something about this though, it's interesting the way it stands in stark opposition to like, Elon Musk's reproductive strategy of artificially inseminating every woman he interacts with. Would love to see them fight on the importance of eugenics vs spreading your seed far and wide.

Wait that's a strategy? I thought Mr. Musk was just in a sort of perpetual horny/lonely mid-life crisis mode or something like that.

That's a fair assumption, but as far as I know all his kids have been born through IVF or surrogates so there's a possibility he doesn't even fuck.

I mean, I suspect that when he says he wants someone else's genes he probably means Elon's, so they probably wouldn't actually disagree over much. Because he's successful and success is determined by genes and therefore he has the best ones, you see.
