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.]

been mulling about these fuckers over the weekend and it’s absolutely wild how far they are wilful participants. self-identified chosen fuckwits, even if a number of them are (or at least, start out as) weaponised useful idiots

I think their brains have just been thoroughly microwaved by social media feedback loops. I remarked elsewhere that I'm not sure these people are or can be earnest about this (cf. the fact that the billionaires they're celebrating are laser-focused on the tech they claim might doom the world); they're simply too conditioned towards creating outrage content for Twitter. To me, this is more akin to LARPing "Leave Britney alone!" than it is serious political activism.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Don't forget that monarchists are still a thing
