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.]

Ugh.

But even if some of Yudkowsky’s allies don’t entirely buy his regular predictions of AI doom, they argue his motives are altruistic and that for all his hyperbole, he’s worth hearing out.

This is because the Bloomberg TV Crypto segment was replaced with the Bloomberg TV AI segment. Literally the same dumb team, just doing this now but just as dumbly.

it's amazing how transparently all this is the exact same thing yet people are still falling for it somehow

the tech industry is stupid, so you can trick them into following the same techfash goals repeatedly if you apply a thin veneer of false innovation every few years. this is what happens when you pretend to be an engineer but punish all attempts at systems-level thinking
