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.]

Good Guy Orange Site refuses to believe rationalists/EAs can be as bad as we're describing and is sure we're just exaggerating (news.ycombinator.com)

We = Cool

Orange Site = Hacker News

EA = Effective Altruism. Sam Bankman Fried identified with this group. Loosely associated with the rationalist movement.

Rationalists = Oh man where do I even start. A lot of them believe in the inevitable rise of an AI god who will rule us with either an iron or benevolent fist depending on how good a job we do of raising it. Also there's a lot of misuse of Bayes' Theorem for some reason.

Any questions?
