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.]

That is the one way to look at it.
The other way of looking at it is 'these are the only two places that build this, would be a shame if something happened to them'. Nukes could also work then, but I hear getting those is slightly tricky. (More of a sidestep governments go full Propaganda of the deed)
Of course Yuds T-shirt clearly says 'I do not want to nukedatacenters!(*)'
*: Conventional explosives also work.
Oh they absolutely are this deluaional to think that superpower govts will take them seriously
On the other reading, the idea of some EA going full on unabomber and deciding to acausally decide that they have few fingers too many, for The Cause, is pretty damn funny. Wonder how far that homeschooling in area of organic chemistry goes, maybe they are cooking diamondoid pipe bombs
e: is he using double spaces at the end of sentences? disgusting
Considering he seems to be slightly too young to have learned all his typing from typewriters (which gives you the double spaces thing) it means he copied it from others. Which reminds me of the story (no idea if true) of a popular smart professor at a university who had a tick that while he walked he always kept touching the walls he walked past. Because he was popular and smart students wanted to emulate him and a lot of students also started touching all the walls when they walked through the hallways. That is what I think off when I see younger people emulate these kinds of old hacker things, now I'm also wondering if there are more younger people intentionally being very bad at public speaking because they see Musk do that and think that all these weird pauses is a sign of intelligence (I already have seen people say this shows he has so much going on in his mind (please, the man just has undiagnosed adhd, and he is extremely anti-adhd meds so he will never get help with it (this also explains the 'im gonna start a new company' shit he constantly pulls off))).
