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.]

From Heth Serd:

Spread public awareness that AI is probably going to be the biggest deal in history and we should all be taking it very seriously and thinking about its impacts

Hmmm what sort of criti-hype do they want us to prioritize?

  • Job loss, takeover risks, and AI rights (for future AIs) primarily,

They had us in the 1st half NGL

  • Not so much algorithmic bias, pernicious social effects, or IP rights These are much more divisive and just less important so prob. best to avoid

Because of ThE DrEaDeD WoKe LaBeL I assume? Reminds me of something from This Machine Kills: the focus on de-biasing things like facial recognition skips over whether it’s good to develop surveillance tech in the 1st place
