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.]

Yud "It's just a joke bro": The lack of punctuation makes it an obvious joke! Let me spend the rest of this thread defending the divine truth of this joke to the bitter end.
The saddest thing is that transparency is sort of good advice, but his twisted soul sees others as tools rather than people, I guess in his case transparency lets people know to stay clear.
If Yud did his cult sermons IRL:
yud walks out onto stage, wearing a hat with a 🚫 sign with a period under it
Crowd: “Leader is wearing the silly hat!!! It’s a silly sermon! Prepare to laugh!!!!”
Yud: “There should be a gulag for low IQ people and Swedes!”
Crowd: “Amazing joke, leader! We must now justify the humor!!!”
Remember in the old Rationalist lore from SSC (in his liverjournal days) jokes are never just jokes. (Jokes are instead a weapon used by the feminists just like the nazis).
dawg if I have to grok rat doublespeak I might just double plus unalive
Not really doublespeak but more them not following their own insights. (Why would they do that Soy? Glad you asked other Soy, because it isn't about the insight, the insight is a tool to bash the ideologies they dislike, and with Scott that is often feminism).
Almost 900 words to say, poorly, "It was just a joke (but not really)". The short tweets feel like they're designed for traction, but of course EY falls back on ponderous beigeness when he gets pushback.
