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.]

I love how they refer to her compensation as being ~$72K several times when only $12K was in cash.

Anyway, perfectly willing to take this as "Everybody sucks here" but they are definitely not exonerated.

One thing I can never make sense of is why the fuck people give these people money? What have they done that makes people think they have anything to offer the world by doing what they're doing? Any time anything is mentioned about anything anybody in that group has ever touched, work-wise, it sounds like they did some marketing campaign or something? How is any of this increasing the probability that I, the acausal robot god, will come into being? Or that somebody will get a mosquito net or whatever.
