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 mean my personal thoughts on it are nuanced. We can’t exactly just stop everything, and there’s a clear (and valid) demand for some cases of energy use
But we also have some extreme problems already, and we reaaaaally need to get a handle on those too. Just headlong running into using more and more is fucking insane
Yes, I agree. My personal thoughts are also that long term energy maximization is synonymous with regulatorial systems and dealing with the complications of energy use. Paradoxically long term maximization is defeated by any naive short term abuse. Only a naive understanding of physics supports the idea that you can simply, just produce and use more energy just like that.
Which is why theae takes don't mean, anything. It's a revelation to want money and do stupid without consequence.
