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.]

TESCREAL is a useful acronym for explaining things but I'm disappointed in how little impact it has outside of the terminally online. How can this cult turn into something that sticks to Musk, Altman, and Vance the way Scientology does to Tom Cruise? Do we need South Park to make an episode talking about the fucktillions of unborn robots in distant galaxies?
I still don't know what TESCREAL actually means.
It’s detailed in the 3rd para of the linked article.
Edit it's a very nerd acronym though. It's seven different isms, each requiring paragraph-length explanations, while Scientology could be summarized as "believes an alien named Xenu implanted bad thoughts in you and you need to pay to get rid of them".
