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.]

Ow god that list of signs, and then starting with 'openness is bad' That is your strongest point? That is what you choose to lead with? (I know, he never finished enough education to learn you should start with what you think are your strongest arguments). (Doesn't help that his openness vs closed arguments are just plain wrong, but well he also never went into academia. There is a case for closedness of course, but that is the paperclips argument).

Also lol at the physical security remark, like China would sneak in Shadowrunners to steal the harddrives of OpenAi's desktops. (Vs just using hackers, insiders or if you believe the conspiracies around Chinas capabilities with that, send OpenAi backdoored hardware). Gear up chummers, we are breaking into the OpenAI arcology. (And say, if Yud knows more than I do and they security of OpenAI offices and datacenters is really bad and is an actual risk, admitting that this is an area of improvement on twitter is not a smart move).
