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.]

“extremely large New Guinea.”
It's just got big bones
@gnomicutterance @o7___o7 Extremely Large New Guinea is a variant of Bigger Luke http://biggerluke.wikidot.com/bigger-luke
iirc (and rough neuron lookup here:) there’s a longstanding issue with entertainment etc mapmakers that leave NZ out of their maps
Just a conspiracy of cartographers then.
