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.]

@V0ldek They haven't accidentally unplugged a freezer yet?
@strangebirds @V0ldek I’d like to think that every human cryo facility has a “Days Since Last Accidental Thawing-Out” sign. Or maybe “Days Since Last Midnight Dumping of Several Lumpy Sacks”.
Is that actually true? Have they been audited? One problem with long-term storage is "long-term" is a thing that humans are bad at.
Just the other day, a bunch of cryo tanks holding scientific specimens in a research hospital in Sweden failed and destroyed 30 years worth of data.
best you can get is attestation from some obscure company in Bahamas
Supposedly the head of baseball legend Ted Williams was frozen, but was dropped and cracked at some point. Don't know if that was the same company.
