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.]

Hanson was the Gentle Silent Guest of Honor.
(This is a joke, and for the people who don't get it trust me you are better off not knowing. No really. Still curious? Google "Hanson Gentle Silent" (without "), but I warned you).'
E ~~1~~, ~~2~~, ~~3~~, ~~4~~, 5!
How bad can it be?
Search. Read a few paragraphs. Close tab in disgust.
Yikes. These people. Did they become rats because they couldn't understand other people existing and valuing their bodily autonomy or did becoming rats do this to them?
As that dehumanizes people we try not to use those words.
But I think they value logic, reason, having new ideas, and looking at things from an neutral way so they come up with these kinds of contrarian bullshit ideas. And the worst is of course they aren't even trying to be edgy funny, no just banality of evil lack of emotions. There is also an element of 'look at what we can think about without being all disgusted' part.
Intended as abbreviation, but fair point. And no slight to any actual rattus rattus, if any are acasually lurking from the civilization they will build long after humans wipe themselves out. Impressive animals.
Reasonable explanation of why they write this kind of stuff, thanks. And of course such a culture attracts those who like to write such.
