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.]

TRUE FACT: Matt Yglesias is the reason Bluesky has a block function
I missed that(or have forgotten it already, a think which happens a lot with me re Yglesias. I have him mentally tagged as vague shithead, but never can recall why (and am aware this could be wrong)), tried a google search and couldn't find anything, what is the story?
David told the story in a recent Tech Won't Save Us episode, basically Matty boy came to BlueSky, everyone started laughing at him for his bad takes (as well they should), and Matty cried for a block function so long and intensely that they gave it to him so he'd shut the fuck up.
no, he complained and they scrambled to implement it for the Important Journalist
who essayied to post a few more times and was pilloried again
I guess my brain tweaked the story into something a little bit less bleak in self-defense.
