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.]

The article doesn't mention SSC directly, but I think it's pretty obvious where this guy is getting his ideas

How is this not satire? It’s that fucking stupid/scary.

I guess this is what happens when critically insecure nerds get a lot of money. They fantasize about a world where people fear them and the bullies do their bidding.

How is this not satire?

This is what I ask myself every time I read any of this techfash nonsense, but then I remember that this isn’t even a new idea. These are the same people who once read a John Titor knockoff shitpost on Reddit and thought, hey, that’s a brilliant idea and we should totally do that.

I’m pretty sure there’s even a post about it on old SneerClub or probably TechTakes.
