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.]

Yeah this new 'military' setup will also quicly lead to them being seen as pirates by 'legacy governments' (who tend to love armed groups showing up, esp near any shipping lanes (if he wants to live anywhere away from the damaged ozone layer (the south of the south pacific seems somewhat empty at least). And the various groups of people in this new libertarian utopia (I'm going to assume it is libertarian) will surely not start preying on each other, or those nice 'legacy' shipping going round. At least 4 people will call themselves Ragnar Danneskjöld.
but will USN wipe out half of their fleet in a single shift if they bother commercial shipping enough? (operations room)
I meant more like treating the icelibertarians like the Houthis and tossing a few missiles into the iceskyscrapers than that kind of what I assume is USA military fanwank video.
Nah, that would only happen if they touched our boats.
Or if we thought they touched our boats.
Or if something wholly unrelated happened to one of our boats nearby and it was politically convenient to say they had touched our boats even if they didn't actually have much reason to at the time.
Houthis have been bombed with every weapon at saudi air force disposal for almost decade by now
Yes, and they are still around, same with the Taliban, but for some reason I doubt the Icebertarians will be that anti-fragile. As soon as the first Icebertarian becomes homeless and sets up a tent they will bail. "I'm fine with them doing drugs in their homes, but now they are doing drugs and not even coding javascript! I cant bear it!"
Who needs missiles when a few parabolic mirrors will do the job?
A million red-hot tungsten balls.
