I think the WEF (World Economic Forum) is who I think of when I think of "the elites.". They have Xi Jinping give key notes and most recently had Henry Kissinger debate Soros over what to do with Ukraine at their annual private je

You didn't read my previous post. I am not up to date on the latest words, but I'm fine with a person being able to change their gender. I am just blown away by the defectiveness of your reasoning process though. Speaking of wh

It is related to that culture war. We both accept a man can become a woman so all those things are ok for the transexual debate. If we don't accept a box of chips and plastic is a human, or my purely imaginary friends are people then

This reasoning by analogy is at the heart of the error being made in the brain uploading debate. Of course a man can become a woman. A box of chips and plastic cannot become a human. That you think the two are equivalent because I am sta

The uploaded person movement will compare uploadaphobes to transphobes, just like the trans movement compares transphobes to homophobes just like the LGBTQ movement compares homophobes to racists, etc. You will become an advocate for uploa

The thing that the west is unwilling to do is give the Ukrainians cruise missiles. The Russians have lots and lots of these in the form of Kalibr and Iskander missiles that they launch from ships and mobile launchers and it seems to be mak

I also got the idea from law school that a lot of going to law school is to show to the courts that you've shown you're not going to waste the legal system's time by not knowing how to follow all the procedure and how to writ

Squirrels don't break into your home in the middle of the night and trash your stuff. That's why I don't mind squirrels and despise rats. Maybe it's that squirrels don't have the ability to squeeze through tiny li

I was reading about a lot of these nuclear cleanup projects at Hanford and Fukushima and the only way to do it is with specially designed robots that are highly radiation resistant. This is difficult since the radiation regularly causes th

USD can be used to buy Oil and LNG. That's most of it. Euro buys oil in USD and then the USD goes into treasuries. It's called Petrodollar Recycling[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrodollar_recycl

They will probably end up failing at this because of politics and waste enormous amounts of money, give up and instead import insulin from China or India and resell it, which would actually work.

Having read a lot about the whole Theranos matter I feel like Sunny really made some bad life decisions: Imagine being in his shoes: It's the early 2000s. You're in China learning Mandarain, you're in your late 30s, you mad

If you look at Sri Lanka right now, their society is completely falling apart not because of climate change, but because there is no oil. If you look at Saudi, they can't raise production, not because of climate change, but because th

Surprise Plot Twist: Maybe we're already living in a post-truth society and you are still sure you know what the truth is. How would you even know that what you were ferociously defending as the truth wasn't a lie? What makes yo

I would say CCP junk. The CCP tries to conflate their corrupt totalitarianism with the Chinese ethnicity in order to claim all criticism of them is racism.

The migration pattern in the nation seems to be: 1. Going to your super cool tech job in California when you get out of college. 2. After that, you get older and want to buy a house and settle down, and not pay state income tax, and so you

Oddly, California officials are trying to decide right now whether to save Lake Mead or the Salton Sea. One is a stinky polluted accidental lake and the other is the primary water source for Las Vegas. What the heck? "He said the dis

Back on topic, are you in favor of releasing language models if it means we won't be able to prevent the Russians from using them for propaganda for example? As long as we're going on tangents, according to the Zach Vorhies leak,

It's funny how they never release the model. I guess they are scared of spammers, 4chan or worse, the Russians. This is the harbinger of the future, isn't it? Technology that's too powerful to be widely deployed is kept un
