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.]

I assume it is just the genetics/iq fanboying which leads them to think like this, not some weird antisemitic dogwhistle, not that philosemitism isn't also a form of antisemitism via othering.
Ashkenazi IQ (and asian SAT scores) absolutely are the "but I have a black friend!" of race science, but further mythologizing Yud and Scoot on those grounds also happens.
yeah remember that it's a LW tenet that Ashkenazi Jews are of unusually high IQ. Coincidentally a group containing both Eliezer and Scoot
To be clear that is exactly why I find the analogy suspect lol, and at the same a tic of this particular milieu so I don’t believe it’s deliberate. Just god lesswrongers sure are weird about stuff.
