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.]

Eliezer Yudkowsky on discovering that the (ALLEGED) ceo shooter was solidly a member of his very own rationalist subculture: "he was crazy and also on drugs and also not a real e/acc" (awful.systems)

The man probably went insane after psychedelic use

So parts of his manifesto (which was short) was published, and it was pain that radicalized him, ah well a superpredictor like Yud can't be right all the times. If only he had the image of a blade of grass that could have been a hint, sadly we did not.

Spoiler for the image link.

The image is a scan of a persons back with various medical rods in the back, which was part of the (ALLEGED) shooters twitter image before it got deleted. The blade of grass thing is a reference to an infamous story of Yud about how AGI could figure out another universes physics just by looking at a video frame of a blade of grass bending in the wind.
