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.]

“ We have unusually strong marketing connections; Vitalik approves of us; Aella is a marketing advisor on this project; SlateStarCodex is well aware of us. We are quite networked in the Effective Altruism space. We could plausibly get an Elon tweet. ”

From the short investor spiel document. Also they want to just bypass the FDA?

@dgerard I’m probably missing something but what is it about these folk and Adderall? They can’t all have self-diagnosed ADHD.. (having an actual psychiatric diagnosis thereof means that I’m just a mean-spirited gatekeeper who thinks people shouldn’t just decide for themselves that they have a serious mental condition and start popping random pills)

@froztbyte Oh, I missed that. So, boring people thinking they can make themselves less boring through pharmaceutical means. 15 years ago it was smart drugs (which weren’t, but that didn’t stop the Bay Area jumping onto that bandwagon with both feet).
