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.]

there's a poetic irony in target fixating so hard on avoiding one set of weird nutbaggery to then end up as one of the central figures in another bit of nutbaggery...

A lot of these people come from the ex-fundie world. This has been noted with other cults too.
