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.]

I looked it up and apparently the safety check feature was invented by a couple of Facebook engineers who were on a research trip to Japan in 2011 and had to evacuate when the Fukushima disaster happened.

But according to that article, Facebook used unpaid volunteers from non-English-speaking countries to translate their UI and now I'm angry again.
