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.]

fedi still seems to partly have a large cliff on starter discoverability/exploration, but there's sufficient critical mass on a number of things that it's been improving a lot
it's also just ...... nice? nice in a way the corporate walled-garden Curated Experience shit has felt constricting on for so fucking long. still a ways to go between right now and elsewhere (and I have some thoughts on this, ito some networks not really being set up for defensively dealing with the incoming parasites), but.. hope! actual, positive, experience-able hope!
