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.]

Why the hell would anyone think about Cyrus the Great every day, let alone fondly.
Isn’t he the one that the US Religious Right used as a rationalisation for a philandering president being an instrument of God?
Someone minted a souvenir half-shekel coin with both Trump and Cyrus on it. Heads, you lose.
"Thanks" for introducing me to a new level of insanity: https://www.temple-coins.com/products/copy-of-trump-and-bibi-netanyahu-coin-grey-silver (Cyrus is on the obverse, so there's some weird right-wing Israeli hangup on him too)
