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.]

Peep the signatories lol.

Edit: based on some of the messages left, I think many, if not most, of these signatories are just generally opposed to AI usage (good) rather than the basilisk of it all. But yeah, there’s some good names in this.

And right about when the general public started to realize that LLMs are fucking shit at pretty much everything. How convenient ...

Also lol at putting Steve Bannon in the top 10 signatories. All right then.

Hand in hand with Glenn Beck!

And Kate Bush?!?!

She’s way too far down the list imo. She should make a deal with Woz, and get him to swap their places

Perhaps they could exchange the experience.
