Would you do that if you were an ex-law enforcement officer who's racial profile puts you under the protection of criminals on the yard that largely support the person you heckled while not knowing that it was only going to be 37 days?

You know, I am usually one to immediately jump to "to hell with that" when someone brings up Hanlon's razor, but I think it may apply here. He certainly is creating a false equivalency between AI and immigrants, but with how

"Postliberalism" is a really flowery way to say fascist/corporatist. I guess it is less likely to shut down the conversation though.

This is a weird take to me. The current "conservative" movement has gone to great lengths to push out neoliberals and enact protectionist policy. Maybe you mean "conservative" voters? Though, these are more likely the &q

It's a song by "The Who". Though given the controversy their lead songwriter (Pete Townshend) has been through, I personally would refrain from quoting him on the topic of kids.

I'd argue that if we don't abstract away resource usage behind currency, we are pretty firmly in negative-sum territory and zero-sum is a pretty rose colored glasses way of looking at things that is currently obscuring us from pen

No, I am saying the concept of a p-zombie relies on a flawed premise. I am asking you to explain what is fundamentally "subjective" about these experiences. How are colorblindness and extended color perception any different from f

NPC meme? No sir, we are a little more high brow around here. Around these parts we talk about p-zombies and solipsism! I'll bite though, do NPCs behave as if they believe they are conscious? If so, how do you know you aren't one

Show me what is subjective about it then. What makes one illusion created out of flesh more real than another? How are any of these experiences subjective if you can already relate their nature so easily and universally? You are describing

Well, right, it's contextual. We each have a series of inputs that add up to these contexts. This doesn't mean it can't be explained, it just means there needs to be context. If you give the blind man a sensor that converts

Nah, it never went anywhere. The internet just provides a safe space for people to admit philosophies that would cause social issues in person.

Great person theory is hardly new either. I'm not sure the point. Really it's just "critical theory" for rich white men. I'm not convinced everyone or even a majority thinks this way innately. It's taught by p

I think it's more that total reduplication sounds off to most western ears. Spotify has the same number of syllables.

I think it's a fairly common trope in communication to explain in simple terms any language that the wider part of an audience doesn't understand.

I agree, well mostly. The administration is dispensing with the institutions of soft power. I don't think it's the main goal so much as a consequence of their worldview. Soft power is essentially worthless to people who have no in

I think the distinction between programmatic error (solvable) and operational characteristic (mitigatable) is valid in theory, but I disagree that it matters in practice. Proactive prevention (like bounds checking) only "solves" t

You are arguing semantics that don't address the underlying issue of data vs. command. While I agree that SQL injection might be the technically better analogy, not looking at LLMs as a coding platform is a mistake. That is exactly how

The AI can hire verifiers too. It of course turns into a recursive problem at some point, but that point is defined by how many people predictably do the assigned task.

There is definitely a large section of the security community that this is very true. Automated offensive suites and scanning tools have made entry a pretty low bar in the last decade or so. Very many people that learn to use these tools ha
