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.]

More details.

Wow, they actually succeeded at their plans. I'm impressed. "we expect to be much more careful than other companies to ensure that recursively self-improving intelligent agents don’t form within our game and break out onto the internet!" Well done!

It's real, all of it. John Titor the time traveler? He's real. AI gods? We could build them.

John Titor came back in time to stop the creation of a superintelligence. He does this by secretly founding, co-founding, or co-co-founding various silicon valley startups that don't actually do anything; but that sound good to venture capitalists with too much money.

The money is secretly funneled to good causes like food banks, adopting puppies, and maintaining the natural habitat of burrowing owls. Thus averting the end of the world. Encultured AI is part of this plan. They do nothing-- for the good of the earth.

Now that is a name I have not heard in a long long time.
