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.

Men have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making phallic machines
The first niche will be taken by sexbots
The second, entertainingly, also by sexbots
Society will suddenly realize it doesn’t need men and those in power will quickly start replacing and disempowering them.
People like to consider the positive implications of technology but they don’t like to consider the negative implications
The smart strategy for men would be to ban ALL of the following:
Nobody except men should be allowed to look sexy(manly sexy), look male or be bears.[1]
To some extent TUFF men like @RokoMijic are smart enough to realize that it’s essential to defend the male monopoly on this stuff. But the average man just isn’t strategic enough to go along with this, and there’s (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.
[1] Women get to keep the Oxford comma.
Wait, are we banning electrical boxes that transfer electrical energy between electrical circuits, or trucks that turn into weird little guys or sometimes are cassette tapes that turn into cats?
I can’t tell which one is a viable replacement for men.
Take Optimus Prime, for example:
Pros:
Cons:
Counterpoint: I have read fanfiction where Optimus Prime is a pretty solid cuddler.
