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.]

the émile torres hit piece linked in there is pretty fucking awful (how could anyone display such incivility towards honest intellectuals such as Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose! gasp!) and destroys any semblance of good faith this post might have been trying to build

Pointing out the existential risk of politically connected doomsday cultists who pontificate about nuking any country with too many sweet gaming PCs: Oh no too mean :(

Torres has written about that hit piece! It's the only article on that substack; "Mark Fuentes" doesn't appear to exist, the material was partially published under another name first and is a favourite of EA attempted astroturfers.
