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.]

Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can't decide, but it's a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.

For the purposes of this argument, near term AGI or promising clinical trials for depression are off the table.

Because that would be the first thing I thought of, "AGI." Like, my kid is really depressed; if we only had developed a robot who could think.

funny that, considering that we might be close to end of beating around the bush and there might be reasonable, solid mechanism of action for all known antidepressants https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/how-antidepressants-work-last

meaning there could be new antidepressants based on that mechanism in decade or so, removing many of limitations of the previous ones (and probably introducing a slew of new ones)
