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.]

Hounding the president of Harvard out of a job because you think she's a DEI hire is one thing, but going after a Billionaire's wife? How dare these journalists! What big bullies.

Bonus downplaying of EA's faults. He of course phrases the Bostrom affair as someone being "accused" of sending a racist email, as if there were any question as to who sent it, or if it was racist. And acts like it's not just the cherry on top of a lifetime of Bostrom's work.

Isn't the discovery institute also a bit involved in proving that certain skin colors give you lower IQ? Anyway very much not surprised, and also not surprised considering Scotts history of 'im basically left wing, I agree with the left on these subjects [list of subjects, notably race is not one of them (he also has some issues with feminism, and don't think I have seen him express pro sex work is work sentiments but the last one is understandable)]'
