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.)

I mean what’s a sex cult without a little sects?
Only skimming I'm not seeing anything resembling an objection so this sounds like reductionists about to wholeheartedly lean into cult-building out of sheer social ignorance and I'm very excited for it.
* even more cult-building
