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.]

Not really? It's just the Philadelphia suburbs. 14 miles northwest of where I saw Fishbone and Primus.
Pennsylvania gets a looooot more Pennsyl-tucky than that.
“Suburbs of Philadelphia” is pretty funny to me - it’s a 2:15+h car ride there from Philly. Americans might consider 100 miles a short commute, but dang. When does a part of PA stop being a Philly suburb and start being a Pittsburgh suburb?
@antifuchs
50 miles, not 100 miles.
25 miles each way is not that big of a deal. In college I spent six months commuting 40 minutes each way (traffic gods willing it wouldn't be longer) from 31st street to Springhouse, PA.
Valley Forge is definitely at the limits of what I'd put up with though, unless there's good train service.
I was wondering if we are looking at the same map, and then it turns out there are two Valley Forges: one is a neighborhood in (yep!) the Philly suburbs, the other is a township next to York, PA. The latter is what I was referring to!
@antifuchs
Ah, that explains it. I wonder which one they live in.
Actually it's probably the York one because “Valley Forge" by Philadelphia apparently isn't really a town in its own right.
