T Kamal in the comments:

I mean, not to tar any groups with a broad brush, but like, if I had to be criticized by any one person, I'd prefer to be criticized by DAIR rather than EAs, because the EAs hang around the Rationalists, and the Rationalists birthed the Zizians, and those folks have murders attributed to them. Like, at least with Dr. Gebru I can be reasonably sure that no one's gonna come at me with a katana.

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.]
