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.]

https://www.glyphweb.com/arda/i/iarwainbenadar.php the elvish name of Tom Bombadil.
Could it be that Yud read about Bombadil, thought, “man it’s a good thing this dude is with the good guys, or middle earth would be screwed” and then decided to spin that into a technocult about AI?
Bombadil is a fat dude living in splendid isolation with a beautiful woman, unconcerned about the evils of the wider world. Perfect ideal for Yud.
His story is also vague as fuck, and according to some his more modeled on pixes etc from our world, so it would fit for him to pick an isekaied from our world into lotr char for his isekai from rationalist fantasy world to hell character.
lol, nah he prob just picked the name because it was the most powerful and most mysterious character from lotr. With hints of 'this outside context problem with unknown goals must be appeased at all costs or everything ends' just like agi! Also he seems to be immortal.
