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.]

the computational cost of operating over a matrix is always going to be convex relative to its size

This makes no sense - "convex" doesn't mean fast-growing. For instance a constant function is convex.

Hell, so is 1/x for positive values of x. Or any linear function, including those with negative slope.
