And yet people are willing to call him an “AI theorist” or an “AI researcher”.

Its technically correct to call him both - he "theorises" about a pseudoscientific idea that conflates the living, breathing human mind with spicy autocomplete, and "researches" how plagiarism-fueled lying machines can magically become omniscient omnipotent acausal robot gods and turn all of humanity into paperclips.

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.]
