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.]

You’ve probably just spoken it into existence, friend

JWZ once said that every platform eventually evolves into being able to send email and allowing its users to flirt and hook up. I dunno if Urbit has reached that stage.

It is not? The search for 'what are we actually going to use this for?' continues.

the only functionality is a text forum, so it almost certainly is, yeah
