I understand the sentiment behind such projects, but I don’t equate being able to immigrate illegally as an inalienable right or human right of a person. How do people come to these conclusions, maybe I just don’t know how to think about th

> It sounds ridiculous but it may make sense for Israel to become officially part of the US empire, it already functions similarly unofficially. That’s not what I was saying, and it doesn’t make sense to say at all.

I do think being targeted for protected characteristics is stressful. But let’s examine two types of people: 1) a gay person with normal socioeconomic background, 2) a person with a normal socioeconomic background who becomes the target of

It’s not the same thing as a different way to say the same thing if the implementation of two sources of conflict is different. One is a societal conflict, and the other is personal conflict.

I think what works in OpenAI’s favor is realizing open source models, and if they can create a culture of collaboration and innovation out of it, like FB did with PyTorch, they would cement their lead and place in AI technological relevance

Oh okay, that’s what you meant by “target”. I make two distinctions here from my understanding: 1) if group A targets group B, then that’s not a personal attack, but a social or system issue, which I would count as a source of stress, not d

There’s a difference between feeling targeted, and being targeted in actuality. If you can’t tell the difference, then you’re not being targeted.

Let’s also shed light on what behaviors neurotypicals usually have a problem with that they cast as negatives in high-functioning autists: 1) Not being mindful of hierarchy 2) Not being mindful of socially determined rules, that is rules wh

This fits in with another thread on an article about over-diagnosis. I think it’s safe to say that if someone appears “weird” to the hive mind of a community, that person is more likely to be correctly diagnosed. There are people who desire

I think people misunderstand stress and distress, where the latter is personally inflicted on you, like being abused by a family member. In general, I think experiences due to systemic issues are different from experiencing personal issues,

This move makes sense in the context of content moderation on social media forums. There are numerous forums where mods shape and influence culture and discourse, and often that discourse is geopolitical in nature. I don’t think HN necessar

We don’t know what kind of insecure systems we’re dealing with here, and there’s a pervasive problem of incestuous dependencies in a lot of AI tech stacks, which might lead to some instability or security risks. Adversarial attacks against

What kind of derangement are hiring managers laboring under when they give counterproductive and contradictory feedback like “your application was rejected because the take home looked like AI” and “if you don’t use AI at work, you’re fired

There’s a difference between reacting to your environment, and being intelligent. Many top scientists working in AI, I know from firsthand experience, are disconnected from how any form of responsiveness appears in nature. It’s asinine to t
