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.]

Saw somebody on r/ssc go 'why do they always focus on roko's basilisk and never any of the more important things like Yuds lack of qualifications or academic rigor' and saw them also lol that we here apparently didn't want to spend the 2hs to read it (and well that woulds also require 4h+ to then respond about all the various weird inaccuracies). Which is was an amusing few posts. Yeah, we don't have the energy/desire to read all those posts, but neither do you as Yuds lack of qualifications etc comes up quite often.

They want sneers about Yud's lack of qualifications? Fine:

Noncy prig who never went to high school founded a cult for people who can't leave it behind! How's about that, eh?

Yeah mentioned it does come up quite often, but rokos basilisk just is funnier.

E: flannyo (used to post in sneerclub) is in that thread and actually arguing with people and pushing back on the post a bit. Which isn't going super badly compared to if you tried something like that on themotte vs r/ssc.
