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.]

Big Tech Backed Trump for Acceleration. They Got a Decel President Instead [404 Media] (www.404media.co)

A nice and solid mockery of just how badly e/accs derailed their own plans by getting Trump elected. I'll let the subtitle(?) speak for itself:

Effective accelerationists didn’t just accidentally shoot themselves in the foot. They methodically blew off each of their toes with a .50 caliber sniper rifle.

Amazing. Who would have thought that an idiot regressive trying to turn the clock back to the 50’s would be such an impediment to e/acc.

Also: I mean trump is still accelerationist, just not in the way (all) the e/accs necessarily want. For the e/accs only concerned about the tech side of things, trump is demonstrably decel. But trump is accelerationist for the cryptofascists.

It's almost like the tech industry relies on a great deal of general stability, education, and other aspects of society that are broadly considered the responsibility of the state. I think there's a stock line here about libertarians and cats?
