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.]

They have deleted Tara from their blog, and Trace is listed as "on temporary leave" since October 2025. I don't think anyone who wants policy reform rather than institutional destruction will have work in the USA until 2029.
I'm surprised at how they've practically erased her from the site. Do you have any idea what the back-story is? I assume there must have been some sort of falling out. Perhaps her proximity to Curtis Yarvin was more than Trace could take (see: pictures of her at Yarvin's wedding).
Tara spoke on Razib Khan's podcast in June 2023. He is one of the people who apparently sued RationalWiki to stop them saying true things about him. A snippet describes Tara as "A recent graduate of the University of Virginia in politics and policy, set to matriculate at Harvard University in the fall of 2023 for her master's, Tara believes that humans are a vital resource and that a future with ever-dwindling populations is a future of ever-dwindling possibilities."
In spring 2024 The New Atlantis called her "a master’s student at Harvard University who offers fertility education to young women. More specifically, many people want children with Ivy League genetics, and they’ll pay tens of thousands of dollars for eggs from a woman who has the credentials."
Tara was unmasked by Hope not Hate in October 2024. Trace announced CEP in February 2025 so I think he knew her views and associations. I don't know anything about the internal workings of CEP but white supremacists and eugenicists are rarely glorious examples of human achievement.
Reposting from Reddit!sneerclub: Back in the heyday of science blogging, Razib Khan called me a racist. The comment thread has apparently been lost to site rot, but as I recall, I shared a story about a young woman in India committing suicide out of fear that the LHC would destroy the world. My attitude was that this was a senseless tragedy that put a sharp point on the human cost of misinformation. The title of my blog post was "Doomsday fears claim a life". Razib Khan accused me of being racist against Indian people.
Sorry, I meant the backstory on her removal from CEP. As far as I can tell, she's sort of disappeared from the Internet since her removal.
To find that backstory, I looked up the history of CEP in general, but the above is all I could find. Maybe she went home to rethink her life? There is a better timeline where Ziz Lasota realized Yudkowsky was a charlatan surrounded by fools and went back to Alaska to write C# for a utility company and start a vegan recipe share.
