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.]

Glad to see the superrich don't object to paying large sums to build society. So we can just start wealth taxing them instead, that'll be fine right? That way they don't have to spend their valuable time cherrypicking initiatives and charities.
It is just a case of efficiency, they are good at making money, not spending it, so we should tax them.
If they were so good at investing money in the public good then how come they still have so much money and so much time to bitch about unhoused people?
"It's the only way to be sure," as Ellen Ripley said.
From the billionaire's perspective, confiscatory taxation should be preferable to guillotines.
