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.]

includes considerable nonspecific shit-talking of assigned EA enemies, including - horrors! - Timnit Gebru talking about the social issues of the actually-existing AI-industrial complex. also it's not a CASTLE it's a MANOR HOUSE, you fools, you rubes,

Torres has written about that hit piece! It's the only article on that substack, "Mark Fuentes" doesn't appear to exist, the material was partially published under another name first, the material ultimately originated in the EA forums, and the article is a favourite of EA attempted astroturfers.

anyway, that's the quality of article that titotal just happens to reach for first

he's just using it as an example of a supposedly well-written and convincing article about Torres you understand, and just happened to pick an odious lump of slander that originated in that very forum
