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.]

Yudkowsky: eugenics is now "the third most important project in the world." After AI doom and anime, presumably. (awful.systems)

esprit d'escalier

this whole "superbabies will save us from AI" presupposes that the superbabies are immune to the pull of LW ideas. Just as LW are discounting global warming, fascism etc to focus on runaway AI, who says superbabies won't have a similar problem? It's just one step up the metaphorical ladder:

LW: "ugh normies don't understand the x-risk of AI!"

Superbabies: "ugh our LW parents don't understand the x-risk of Evangelion being actually, like, real!"

Well, if they fall for less wrong, then we know they're not all that smart

Don't think in detail about the future superintelligence that can hug you and turn you into TANG!
