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.]

Is this the family who has a lot of kids and who 'do not believe in the research on corporal punishment' (wonder what that means)? (Rhetorical)
e: lol on them blaming tinder. (Lets make it dumber, the moment that tinder was introduced still falls in within the normal (eyeballed) variance. The moment it breaks is ... gamergate. Gamergate ended the world people).
They had 3 kids last time they came up, which despite their posturing is not really a notable amount, and they're both nearing their 40s, so it's unlikely they'll hit quiverfull numbers.
As per Nitish Pahwa's article from yesterday (linked here) they were "trying for their fifth" last month, which is certainly more than the average nowadays but still rookie numbers for pronatalists.
And of course, that "pronatalists" should be in scare quotes. They're pro rich white people (or "elites" as they happily let journos call them) having more kids.
I wonder if any of the hacks ever managed to get them to talk about how they feel about poor white people or "elite" people of color having more kids. Would they seem ambivalent about that? On one hand, they're eugenicists, on the other, they believe in great replacement.
Yeah, four kids is "the biggest family on the suburban block where I grew up", not "time to build another cabin in the compound".
Not really my point, but a good one. They dont even have that many kids to spank.
