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.]

remember that LessWrong used to be a joint SIAI (as was) and FHI project, with FHI supplying the academic cover

I would guess it likely has a bit more cover/funding these days

but I was wondering the other day whether the setup was in any way resilient...

well now LW/MIRI runs on ethereum

FHI didn't seem to manage to tap into that tho

not quite entirely what I had in mind, but it will be interesting to see what happens with that down the way as well
