I was just answering why I don't take it too seriously as an impartial source, I agree it's not as bad as Encyclopedia Dramatica. With that said, if you look at a page like this: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/

I don't know how to substantiate this, so I won't try. My impression of the site is that it has a particular left-wing/pro-socialist political bias that creeps into articles, particularly about individuals. It doesn't us

I'm in my 20s, I'm a bit sad to think of the possibility that I've missed the boat of human ingenuity. It's not like if AI puts me out of work I'll be free to create works of art -- GPT-12 will do that much better t

You seem to think that's a bad thing, yet you would prefer that it should be made worse? I still don't get what you're saying.

Can't you see the irony in this when you didn't offer any evidence?

The problem I've encountered with schemes like you're describing (such as encryption schemes with decoys) is that it also makes it impossible to verify that you've given everything up. Say you give the attacker all of your bi

Just to be clear though: are you kicking them off, or telling them to go fuck themselves? Because your comment above indicates that you wouldn't kick people off for simply having different political opinions.

You continue to ignore the point. Your party. The one you vote for. Not "the left", whatever that means.

Isn't that his point? Plenty of you exist, yet your party will not represent your interests. The "left" party that you vote for has chosen a set of values that are contradictory to your own, and you have no recourse because w
