Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

Posts or links discussing our very good friends should have "NSFW" ticked (Nice Sneers For Winners).

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from our very good friends.

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.]

I'm almost certain I've seen EY catch shit on twitter (from actual ml researchers no less) for insinuating something very similar.

[Taking the derivative of a function] oh fuck the function is conscious and plotting against us.

It's called a function plot for a reason!

to be fair, assuming computers are like that because they hate all humans and want to fuck you up is basically true
