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.]

Basing your security on Movie plot threats is a pretty bad idea.

E: also somewhere in the NSA there is a junior analyst feverishly writing a report right now:

We should stop developing AI, we should collect and destroy the hardware and we should destroy the chip fab supply chain that allows humans to experiment with AI at the exaflop scale. Since that supply chain is only in two major countries (US and China), this isn't necessarily impossible to coordinate

(somebody on LW highlighted the last line as important (I also think the line is wrong but im not going to 'somebody is wrong on the internet' help the wannabe terrorist cultists)).

Famously worked out with nukes

That is the one way to look at it.

The other way of looking at it is 'these are the only two places that build this, would be a shame if something happened to them'. Nukes could also work then, but I hear getting those is slightly tricky. (More of a sidestep governments go full Propaganda of the deed)

Of course Yuds T-shirt clearly says 'I do not want to nukedatacenters!(*)'

*: Conventional explosives also work.
