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.]

Yeah and also, terrorists are not genocidal death cults. 'terrorists skip getting microbiology phd using chatgpt to create a pandemic that kills untold numbers of beings' is pure fantasy, it gets worse as it turns out that the number of actual bioterrorists deaths in total ever isn't even on the level of a 9/11. People seem to forget that terrorist groups have goals, and they just use terror/violence as a method to reach those goals, sure a few of them may die [chatgpt insert a gif of Bin Laden dressed as Lord Farquaad] but the goal of the terrorist organization is to keep existing to reach their political goals.
