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.]

They got a vacation month right? Right?

(Later in the article it was mentioned that even the 1k per month wasn't paid).

"Over the 8 months she was there Alice claims she received no salary for the first 5 months, then (roughly) $1k/month salary for 2 months, and then after she quit she received a ~$6k one-off salary payment (from the funds allocated for her incubated organization). She also had a substantial number of emergency health issues covered. [there is a footnote here mentioning there was no contract which ... anyway poor quokkas (yes im stealing that concept from the fascists, suck it nerdiest lovecraft cosplayer)]"

Also TIL that the custom 'we should be rational and clear and bla bla bla bla' software ran by the LWosphere doesn't allow people to see that and how a post was edited. Bit weird.
