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.]

Looks like someone's behind the times; all the cool kids are into the Eastern Roman Empire this season. That's why my kids are named Constantine Cataphractus and Velociraptor Paleologus.

Sad they’re dissing the classics, like Incontinentia Buttocks.
