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.]

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

Those are my facts. Now for my interpretation.

This is going to haunt me for a while.

Dread it; run from it; my interpretation arrives all the same.

paragraph before that is also special

Either way, this means that the EAs on the board, who both presumably voted to oust Sam Altman as CEO, are adjacent to the US intelligence community, and/or its critics, many of whom are intelligence veterans anyway.

All factual and counter-factual statements are evidence for my position. Heads I win, tails you lose.

LOL. One board member is in the CIA "milieu" because of her college major, another has a husband who played Edward Snowden, and they both "presumably" voted to oust Sam Altman. With that kind of rock-solid fact pattern, you just know the reasoning is going to be airtight.
