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.]

As Musk also wants to create a dating app I now wonder if there is some sort of sociological rule that when social movements/communities get stale enough they eventually all try to create a dating app which fails (and then leaks the data of all their users to the public). And if there isn't this sounds like a good bit of research.
I was wondering whether he stole the idea after they tried to get a musk tweet / published this / etc. No way to tell if thatβs what happened though, and theyβd probably never admit it if it did
I think it is just a consequence of those kinds of communities/people where your singular weird obsessions and inability to make room/time for the lives/needs of significant others drives people away, which when they are out of productive ideas causes them to go 'why not make a dating site, lot of people [aka themselves] are lonely this could work!' not realizing that they are partially lonely because they are in such weird insular groups with weird particular monofocusses. In the case of the Rationalists it is amusing this comes after the pua stuff and that it includes betting (which would drive quite a few people away).
But yes would be very funny if they did. Impressively quick building of the site then as well tbh.
