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.]

There’s also a whole subreddit from hell about this subgenre of fiction: https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/

/r/rational isn't just for AI fiction, it also ~~claims~~ includes anything with decent verisimilitude, so stuff like The Hatchet and The Martian show up in its recommendation lists also! ~~letting it claim credit for better fiction than the AI stuff~~
