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.]

What a stupid cult. Someone needs to pull the plug. The poor brainfucked computer wrecks need to go outside, and pet a donkey sometimes.

Seems like there are two types of people.

Those who enjoy holding conferences about the best way of shoveling donkey shit (plus points if they somehow are permitted to come up with global rules for handling donkey shit from the arctic to the equator and from the sea side to the mountain) and allocate funding for buying fancy AI powered shovels.

And those who shovel donkey shit.

of note is that you can without loss of generality replace "donkey sanctuary" with "dog/cat/ sanctuary", but I guess donkeys are both rarer, more ridiculous, and probably more Democrat than other pets.

Replace any 'making the world a better place now' with 'talking a lot about making the world a better place some time in the future with my fellow cultists in our secret cult language'. These people make me feel exactly like fork scratching on blackboard.
