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.]

it very much fucks with me that there’s a nixpkgs working group dedicated to making NixOS an attractive platform for running LLM code. I’m guessing it comes down to two things: nix actually is very good at packaging the hundreds of specifically pinned dependencies your average garbage LLM project needs to run, and operating in the functional programming space makes these asshole grifters feel smarter (see also all the folks who contributed nothing but crypto miners to nixpkgs during that bubble)
