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.]

One of these things is not like the others. (my bulleting)

We also understand the serious risks posed by these technologies. These risks range from

  • the further entrenchment of existing inequalities, to
  • manipulation and misinformation, to
  • the loss of control of autonomous AI systems potentially resulting in human extinction.

yeah. it had a very burying-the-lede kinda feel to it. and then it just doubles back and switches the concern statement out too

have seriously considered making righttoearn.ai in response...

It's turn into one of those letter ladder word games. "Warn, earn, ears, cars, care..."
