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.]

first rule is, there is no fuckin money in this shit, and if there suddenly is it's the rationalists

I'm sure there's a Donnie Darko meme about this

edit: it's these guys from a few weeks ago. They didn't even change the URLs for the very well paid professional positions.

Effective altruism, a name I haven't heard for a long time.

impartially calculating benefits and prioritizing causes to provide the greatest good

Yeah, ignore people when they vote, don't pay taxes, and let me do whatever I want instead. I wish I could do that, but those guys are so crazy that I know it will never end well.
