But we suspect Extropic is just burning through the $14 million and will go broke within a year or two, if that. We look forward to Verdon’s “our fabulous journey” post.

This guy seems like the type to totally skip that, embezzle the last million or two, and go straight for “messianic cult in the woods.” Possibly with a side order of “amateur experimental stimulant laboratory”

Why embezzle when you can just pay yourself an exorbitant salary?

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.]
