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.)

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
