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.]

Hooray…still thinking about how apparently the OpenAI and Anthropic PR teams were impressed with this doc, which is a pretty clear indicator of what it’s going to be like

the reviews on imdb have dropped a bit (from 8.5 down to 7.5) but that’ll probably change when the full thing drops

Also is it just me or does the trailer have a weirdly large views vs likes ratio? 5.6mil views with only 6.7K likes? is that the norm for documentaries?

Most of the views are probably the target demographic feeding it to a chatbot to summarize without ever opening the page in a real browser.

With my extremely scientific method of "clicking on trailers for random documentaries and seeing the ratios" the like-to-view ratio is typically in a range from 1-10 to 1-100. The biggest outlier I saw was probably Will & Harper at about 1-400. The AI Doc is about 1-800. Also interesting is the comments. Will & Harper has about 6400 comments while the AI Doc only has 640, which would be comparable to something like Murder in Monaco, a documentary trailer with about a tenth of the views (and also has a comparable amount of likes).
