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.]

Which of these names are of interest to us?

  • Dustin Moskovitz and Coefficient Giving / Open Philanthropy
  • Mark Zuckerberg (less enthusiastic about EA)
  • Chris Larsen of Ripple cryptocurrency
  • Patrick Collinson (less enthusiastic about EA)
  • Emmet Shear formerly of Twitter and OpenAI (sides with the cultists against the grifters)
  • Ezra Klein the Vox and NYT pundit

Tallinn, Bezos, Musk, and Thiel are missing.

Either Collison or his brother or both have been funding an abundance-y think tank in Ireland which has been the subject of some public controversy (complaints about "red tape", etc.) Their genius proposal for increasing housing supply and density was to let homeowners build sheds in their back gardens and rent them out to people, a proposal our unscrupulous right-wing coalition government took on despite, you know, all the drawbacks of creating a new source of poor quality housing with insecure tenancy. I don't have it in me to go looking up facts about those two gobdaws at this hour but there has been reporting by the Dublin Inquirer on the think tank.
