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.]

I have zero interest in reading the post or the comments, the link is provided as a public service.
(BTW not everything by paulg submitted to HN is received rapturously. At least some members of the community can recognize his fatuousness)
a few posters over there have even called it out as reading like it’s AI generated. it doesn’t entirely have the tone for it, but paully g plagiarizing an essay by having GPT generate it and editing it to sound slightly more like something he’d write almost makes sense — it’d explain why this thing is so fucking long but doesn’t seem to say a damn thing. the problem is, a lot of his pre-gpt writing is exactly like that too.
It's fascinating to see how the narrative (at least in tech circles) has gone in the last 6 months or so: from "I typed a prompt and got a college-level essay" to "no way this [rich][powerful][respected] VC could write anything so incoherent, he must have used an LLM"
No way PG has the attention span to write this much.
