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.]

This last run of "Behind the Bastards" about the One Taste cult/startup is giving off big this vibes. It didnt get wound up till 2023, so there could be a non-trivial amount of attendee overlap
There have also been Tantric workshops where participants were sexually assaulted. One reason I have been single for a while is that I learned too much about abuse in nerdy communities to feel safe and confident looking for partners. I don't want to talk about that when people have been physically or sexually abused though.
Edit / also allegations about teachers and disciples at the MAPLE and OAK Buddhist rationalist cult
