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.]

Quoted for posterity/convenience:

in a world of greater legibility, romantic partners would have the conversation about "I'd trade up if I found somebody 10%/25%/125% better than you" in advance, and make sure they have common knowledge of the numbers

(Marriage makes sense as a promise not to do that period; but if so, you want to make sure that both partners are on the same page about that. Not everyone assumes that marriage means that.)

Her: I am never, ever letting you go unless I find someone 75% better. Me: Works for me.

Unbelievably gross 🤢 I can't even begin to imagine what kind of lunatic would treat their loved one's worth as 'just a number' or commodity to be exchanged. Frightening to think these are the folks trying to influence govt officials.
