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.]

@lurker I don’t understand what “target” means in this context. Is there a crime to be investigated? As far as I know, you can’t be prosecuted for beliefs.
They literally jailed a guy for making light of Charlie Kirk's bullet related mishap in social media, and a group of pro-palestine protestors winning their case after months of trials is still fresh on the news.
So you most certainly can be prosecuted.
Counting or not counting prosecutions that end with the defendent vindicated and almost a million dollars richer?
Sure it counts, getting out of indeterminate time pre-trial holding with a payout after the state has charged you with a felony is a hell of a dice roll, compared to the alternative of not exercising free speech in the first place.
Also this only works as long as the legal system isnt taken over.
