I maintain that the reason they haven't gone full Waco isn't that they aren't deranged enough, but rather it would require them to confront the fact that they have nobody to blame but themselves for Clippy so they rationalize themselves into inaction.

The ones that scare me the most are the ones that are no longer afraid of Clippy and replaced that fear with a fear of, like, minorities.

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.]
