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.]

About us

We are a new AI advocacy organization launching publicly in late summer 2026. Our goal is to amplify everyday voices and build a broad-based movement capable of winning federal AI policy. We want policies that create an economy that works for everyone, not just Big AI; that defend our essential freedoms; and that prevent the development of AI systems that pose existential risks to humans and the planet.

For years the response to AI risk has been white papers and closed-door meetings

yep, it's our very good friends

It's a minor tell, but I'm always alert to people claiming to address global problems who cite calendar time with “summer 2026” and the like, as though the northern hemisphere is the only one that matters. Revealing they actually don't give any thought to the world outside their local province.
