but corpos can’t think long term

they can. it’s just that, structurally, incentives are far more strongly geared to not do that in almost all cases.

I hovered on that word while writing it; almost put “can’t afford to think long term,” but that is even more ambiguous…

Anyway, thank you, I agree with your distinction.

My feeling is those incentives are so strong that anyone behaving too long term will usually get their lunch eaten by someone who is just out to make a quick profit.

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.]
