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.]

Roko's authoritative-toned "aktshually..." response to Annie's claims have me fuming. I don't know why. I mean I've known for years that this guy is a total boil on the ass of humanity. And yet he still manages to shock with the worst possible take on a topic -- even when the topic is sexual abuse of a child. If, like Roko, I were to play armchair psychiatrist, I'd diagnose him as a sociopath with psychopathic tendencies. But I'm not. So I won't.
They do this every time, all sexual abuse accusations by people done against LW people is actually because the victims bad mental health. Even Scott Alexander pulled that a few abuse accusations ago (a quick mental count I think this is nr 4 at least). Which gets even more disgusting when you know that people with bad MH are more at risk of being abused not less.
And the whole shadowbanning shit could indeed be mistake, but considering who her brother is, and where he worked, his powerful friends, and her her status as a SW, it is not as delusional as Roko says here. (And that is before we go into how badly defined 'shadowbanning' even is, sure a case could be made Sam doesn't have hand in it and she is overreacting due to the other stuff, but that is quite different from Rokos 'well she is psychotic').
At least it seems that one of the voting systems is heavily downvoting Rokos posts.
