Do you have a source for this? The closest thing I've heard of was vague reports of children being shipped to Russia. I'm not denying it has ever happened, but the question is what is the motivation, how systematic is it, etc.

It's interesting how casually we replace concern for the population with concern for the political entity. No, the Ukrainian identity will not cease to exist with the replacement of the political entity.

The overly generous image/video generation was a product of their excess compute. No point in letting it sit idle while you build up your infrastructure. But you were getting far more than what you paid for. Now your quota more accurat

As long as the proles have a monopoly on force (through their representative government), the AI companies will pay taxes. The question is how long does this state of affairs last.

SAT solvers are programs designed such that their execution corresponds to the reasoning process of satisfying some given constraints. But they do not contain the reasoning process, rather they embody it. LLMs are different in that they o

If you can't report some stimuli in principle, even to yourself, what would it mean for that stimuli to also be conscious?

If the credentials are stored for some period of time, then an inspection will reveal those stored credentials within the preservation window. Unannounced inspections will then show with high certainty a legitimate validation process. The a

This is just another example of Americans projecting the unique American context to the rest of the world. As the other commenter stated, immigrants aren't universally an economic benefit to the host country. The particulars of the imm

As it turns out you can't have strong socialist policies and also open borders.

I appreciate the candid response. It shouldn't be so hard for people to just clearly state the premises that motivate their beliefs. >the burden should always be on the ones who are stronger to accommodate those who are weaker. Is t

Why do people pretend they don't understand context? What do you get out of posting this irrelevant pedantic response?

Why is the burden always on the host nation and never the immigrants?

by hackinthebochs 3mo ago
That doesn't answer the question. Identity does matter. Because Nazi Germany came to the wrong conclusion does not invalidate every premise used in their justification.

What epistemic value does "similar rhetoric" have? The relevant question is whether something is true and/or defensible. Identity does matter, to some nations and historical contexts more than others. It is silly to project t

Yes, some immigration is good. That doesn't mean all immigration is good. Are you willing to identify positive traits and limit immigration to those with those traits? Or do you balk at being selective? The defense of immigration alway

Yes, it is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes one an American. It is not hard at all to pinpoint what makes one an X for any given European nation. It is strange how much Americans project our weak identity to the rest of the western world

You'll notice my mention of European countries in my comment. You might have guessed that my point about deep historical roots was in reference to that.
