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.]

This makes no sense - "convex" doesn't mean fast-growing. For instance a constant function is convex.
you will be pleased to know that the original text said "superlinear"; i just couldn't remember if the lower bound of multiplying a sufficiently sparse matrix was actually lower than O(n²) (because you could conceivably skip over big chunks of it) and didn't feel like going and digging that fact out. i briefly felt "superlinear" was too clunky though and switched it to "convex" and that is when you saw it.
Hell, so is 1/x for positive values of x. Or any linear function, including those with negative slope.
