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.]

There are probably a lot of geeks who have bitter memories of being ostracised misfits in high school while all the jocks and popular kids were partying and presumably having all the sex, for whom the idea of teenage sex is like catnip. Hence the voyeuristic underage sex in geek-adjacent literature, the “actually, the term is ephebophilia” fedora bros and far worse things. (By some accounts, after Amazon engineers gentrified Seattle, the teenage prostitution rate there went up, due to cashed-up nerds “making up for lost time”.)
