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.]

No shut downs of large AI training

At least the lack of Rationalist suicide bombers running at data centers and shouting 'Dust specks!' is encouraging.

considering that the more extemist faction is probably homeschooled, i don't expect that any of them has ochem skills good enough to not die in mysterious fire when cooking device like this

why would rationalists do something difficult and scary in real life, when they could be wanking each other off with crank fanfiction and buying ~~castles~~ manor houses for the benefit of the future

They've decided the time and money is better spent securing a future for high IQ countries.
