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.]

Epstein did donate some money to SIAI, not sure if it was before or after his first conviction

EDIT: Rob Bensinger says it was seed funding for OpenCog that SIAI was collecting, and that they turned him down in 2016 https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/3JjKWWrKWJ8nysD9r/question-about-a-past-donor-to-miri?commentId=i49RZQgoQZYrXdpis
