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.]

We started a charity to alleviate wild fish suffering. We spent $30k trying to contact fish farmers via email. This didn't work, so we gave up. We consider the project a success. (forum.effectivealtruism.org)

I can't believe there's so much money for a bunch of fauxtivists who don't know how to do basic community-building and networking. Why don't they go invade McKinsey with their top-down mishegas, maybe they can at least give McKinsey half an ethic.

"We assumed that being able to approach farmers with a message that was not focused around animal welfare could give us an advantage compared to already established animal welfare groups."

Ooh, did they invent the brand new notion of "outreach to all stakeholders aimed at finding common ground"? The fundamental strategy of every successful nonprofit and NGO?

Such genius, much amaze, wow.
