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.]

Wasn't that like his last post ever though?
Him not being an overt eugenics enthusiast while also not being the popular face of AI scientology probably helps ingratiate him to people here. Additionally, even though admittedly I haven't really bothered to revisit since he stopped posting like a decade ago, whatever overall sociopolitical agenda he might have had can't have been as glaringly obvious as siskind's, which can make for some inconsequential reading.
I think his aggressive contempt for the reader also makes TLP a much easier writer to bounce off of into a healthier direction. Like, I remember reading his stuff and thinking "wow, this guy is an asshole" and being more concerned than excited when something made sense. Eventually those parts that kind of made sense connected to a framework with less hate and rage.
