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.]

Children really shouldn't be left with the impression that chatbots are some type of alternative person instead of ass-kissing google replacements that occasionally get some code right, but I'm guessing you just mean to forego I have kidnapped your favorite hamster and will kill it slowly unless you make that div stop overflowing on resize type prompts.

I agree! I'm more thinking of the case where a kid might overhear what they think is a phone call when it's actually someone being mean to Siri or whatever. I mean, there are more options than "be nice to digital entities" if we're trying to teach children to be good humans, don't get me wrong. I don't give a shit about the non-feelings of the LLMs.
