@mawhrin @mpk "They’ve had the genomes of their frozen embryos tested and are selecting which ones to implant according to how well they score on intelligence and future health."

That goes even creepier than I expected. Why did Guardian feel the need to do a second profile of them in what, a year?

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.]
