I’m not going to engage with you if you’re going to get in multiple threads and refer to things as “fashy.” It’s difficult enough to engage in a heterodox view in good faith. I don’t need to deal with slapdash bullshit.

I mean, I disagree with you on all counts. I think it’s always fair to care about treatment of detainees… we don’t use the repeated inflammatory “kidnappings” of our concern is merely detainees treatment. Other states, such as the UK, make

I'm not someone who thinks all laws should be followed blindly. When human rights are on the line, yes, we have an obligation to resist. Some people think enforcing immigration law is a violation of human rights. I do not think it is a

I mean I completely agree with you.

I mean I agree. I think it’s very bad policy to use masking and not immediately identifiable uniforms. Still, this is a hard problem for all law enforcement. It’s trivial for anyone to impersonate police.. especially undercover officers.

Because detained and arrested is not the same as kidnapping. It’s just not even close.

When states choose nullification as a policy to ignore federal law, it’s an overt act of escalation. I don’t think these raids are good policy, but I won’t pretend that it’s happening in isolation. What they are doing, in large part, seems

The housing crisis is going to make this nation so poor. It’s just depressing. It’s just open rent seeking, pure and simple.

You don't even have to tax the monetary value of the land. You can require a percentage of the land, itself , over time. If we're really moving to a post labor world -- which I sincerely doubt -- I think the concept of private pr

For the websites that ChatGPT wants to scrape -- Reddit immediately comes to mind -- it's not an issue of law, it's an issue of "the infrastructure now exists to prevent you from doing that."

This is one reason I support not putting humans on money . We used to put mythological figures on our coinage (liberty, justice, etc), because the are symbols and are uncomplicated by substance. Humans are flawed. Putting humans on money -

The real point isn’t AGI, it’s that the speed of knowledge is empiricism, not intelligence. An infinitely intelligent creature still has to create a standard model from scratch. We’re leaning too hard on the deductive conception of the worl

It's priming. You have to present very obvious scams, to then conflate the concept of being scammed with political ideology... which doesn't necessarily follow. Propaganda is really interesting in the way it carries a narrative.

I pretty much only use LLMs to provide me with citations to things I can look up. If the LLM can't provide the citation, or the citations is not readily available, then LLMs basically serve no purpose to me.
