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.]

Quoth Yud:
It's almost as if basing an entire worldview upon a literal reading of metaphors in grade-school science books and whatever Carl Sagan said just after "these edibles ain't shit" is, I dunno, bad?
Only, it isn't a factory. As the only thing it produces is copies of itself, and not products like factories do. Von Neumann machines would have been a better comparison
this is just "fucking magnets, how do they work?" said different way. both are fascinated with shit that they could understand, but don't even attempt to. both even built sort of a cult
EY is just ICP for people that don't do face paint and are high on their own farts
Yud is as if Woody Allen had grown up on a diet of Neal Stephenson novels
