They've been pumping this bio-hacking startup on the Orange Site (TM) for the past few months. Now they've got Siskind shilling for them.

benefit of the doubt

It isn't just cultbrain, but also a big dose of science fiction and tech hopium. A decade+ ago Lepht Anonym gonzo biohacked themselves to have magnets in their fingers, and this (together with some other science media and science fiction media) set off quite a wave of biohackers. This is just the tail end of the more speculative part of that wave. ('biohacking' (bit nebulous term) can have some good results when people learn how to homebrew hormones or insulin, so don't throw out the meds with the bathwater and mint breath baby)

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.]
