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.]

i warn you, it's a rabbit hole.
enjoy this article for some of the sillier stuff (all referenced in detail)
it actually started as r/sneerclub on reddit, which branched off from r/badphilosophy because so much Yudkowsky badphil was being posted there.
A good starter article is this one which is in the sidebar of the sub.
