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.]

It's cute how Yud is trying to construct a dichotomy between EA AI X-riskers and e/acc AI chuds like Andreessen, as if one side is correct and the other isn't. Call me a centrist if you like: both sides bad.

What both sides have is an unrestrained contempt for the Fourth Estate:

Every journalistic outlet whose journalists credulously reprinted this patent bullshit should investigate those journalists to see who their connections are with whatever PR firms Andreessen Horowitz has hired; and then, regardless of the results of that investigation, should fire every one of those journalists for being one of either corrupt or hopelessly gullible.

Which stems from a contempt for accountability itself
