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.]

More on Banks and Elon's terrible reading of his books

https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/07/apes-do-read-banks-elon-they-just-dont-understand-him

edit from the comments I see the meme that The Player of Games is the Culture book to start with is prevalent there too. Oh well.

????? Is there something I'm not remembering from the book, does anyone have any idea what Musk is talking about? Or is he at a stage where he looks at a cloud and sees the protocols of the elders of zion?

@gerikson @sneerclub I knew Iain and he absolutely despised Musk. (Yes, even back before 2011 Musk was on his radar.) Iain was a socialist with zero patience for capitalist exploiters.
