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.]

Well, it should not be considered that highly, but for some god damn reason they occupy a letter in FAANG since forever.
Probably only because if you remove the N the acronym stops being that cute.
FAANG came about because of "unexpected growth" in how those could "surprisingly" capture money, as time has passed it's become clear how all of them did so in pretty shitty ways (of the bigtech-flavoured "it's better to never ask for permission, fuck 'em" variety)
netflix's burgeoning unpopularity is a far more recent thing. I could guess at a few inputs, but not really sure how much each contributed
(idle thought: without the N, it's probably be
