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.]

Sorry for the off-topic rant, but WTF is Emile Torres doing on twitter? Anytime I see someone creating content for that Nazi hellsite, I start looking at them differently.
it's where the people he needs to reach are, as this tweet and its thread demonstrated. i'm there too for the same reason, feel free to block.
I wouldn't know anything about the thread, as it's impossible for me to read without a twitter account. Yet another reason why the site is trash.
But by all means, go on generating content for a bigoted fascist who will use everything you write to increase engagement with his platform and give it undeserved credibility and $$$.
(And no, I won't block you.)
iirc it costs twitter a lot of money via computing resources when you block a lot of people (this also explains why musk randomly goes on anti blocking as a concept periods, because he doesn't care ideologically, it just is expensive) so blocking a few tens of thousand people, and installing a good adblocker might make you a net negative source of cash for twitter. Not that I think it is going well with the massive amount of bots on there (including a big amount of them verified, im amazed the site is still going on).
I run Blue Blocker and I've blocked somewhere over 200k so far, but that's just because I work hard as a hater
I try to be more Artisinal in my blocking. I even light some candles every time I block somebody. For which I might need some help budget wise.
it's a pity there is nobody here who is good with the economy
I think for a while obvious automation like that got you suspended as well yeah.
