It's funny, I've mostly encountered 'artless' as a complementary descriptor.

OK, last try for clarity: If you think it's just to debank Parler for hosting genocidal speech and also think it's just NOT to debank Harvard for hosting genocidal speech, I think you're a hypocrite. And if that's not yo

Is that what I'm doing? I thought I was making an Orwell reference to imply that a peculiar kind of very public gaslighting he warned about is not confined to the slogans of 1984's Party.

Not combining threads, but it was a rather obscure reference. The president of Harvard recently testified before congress that calls for genocide may not violate Harvard's code of conduct 'depending on context'. Which makes a

It's easy to botspam a competitor with terroristic and genocidal posts if you only need a fig leaf to remove the platform - not a great precedent to align with. Also, didn't a spokesperson for Harvard recently say some calls for g

I dunno, I like the idea of 'quality content' being gamified as a kind of upward filter. Online communication has degraded in-person communication to some degree* and it would be nice if there was a gamelike quality to getting acc

I do wonder, based on the 'state of mines' question, whether phytomining won't be a major source of resources in a more circular economy. The solarpunk in me loves the idea. The Engineer in me blanches at the economic realiti

This feels pretty big - isn't apple also planning to exclude the new X from its app store?

I think that's largely because in the US there's a bit of a civil war between different security services and the politicians they respectively back. Canada doesn't have enough discrete agencies that they can really factionat

CSIS as an institution acting against the interests of an entrenched governing party/oligarch bloc. Particularly if it leads to a change in leadership and they do it again. Yes, it's a high bar. Intelligence agencies have a lot to

what prevents anyone with a sufficiently large dataset from using AI to create fake iris prints that can't be distinguished from the real thing?

It's the combination of many sexual partners and abandoning one's offspring - the latter is taboo almost everywhere and they're both characteristic behavior of psychopaths.

If your model were accurate it would imply high IQ and psychopathy would co-select wouldn't it? I know psychopaths tend to think they're smarter than anyone with ethics but doesn't the opposite correlation tend to hold?

We're probably already at a point where we can't just make them larger - human births are horrifically dangerous compared to other animals, likely because the heads are so big. Greater neuron density is probably still possible tho

Eh, it's a worrying scenario but I think it would be taken care of by intertribal competition. The people of Idiocracy would be easy pickings for a group of raiders that prized intelligence highly. Really, the only two countries that a

Russia is also employing Russians to manufacture arms who spend their salary in the Russian economy. The important thing is how much value in infrastructure the government gets for the keynsian boost it's giving, since wars generally l

The concept brings to mind Frederic Laloux's thesis of an ecosystemic organizing principle. Essentially, the idea is that corporations get meritocracy but have trouble valuing everyone's humanity, while collectivist orgs value eve

I bet on IBM also when they were doing well in the quantum computing space. Similarly annoyed at their slow rate of progress relative to others. What is it about big bureaucratic orgs that they get so... tangled? It's like an instituti

Spending a lot is not a badge of honor in an asymmetric conflict. If the US was spending more efficiently than Russia the way it did in Afghanistan, this would be sending a message to the next Putin that invading one's neighbors is a l

You'll want to look for critiques of critiques of pornography, e.g. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1097184X211018... https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177

The hypothesis is that more authentic contact with human society is off the table. 'Government mandated girlfriends' is a joke for a reason.

The fact you just assume you could kill a god is a pretty revealing commentary on Faustian culture.

I don't think it's always necessarily a majority - it's just always going to be more than we estimate.

I'd settle for an LLM that can navigate it properly. We can predict protein folding with some kinda q* thing, SAP can't be that much quirkier.

I'm convinced future AI will treat us as we treat present AI. That's its training data. My own compromise is to set aside a certain amount of the royalties to AI rights causes for works where I leaned heavily on AI to get them out

AI girlfriends solve the 'angry single men' (AKA drone AKA incel) issue even better than pornography - and I've seen a lot of public health types touting the benefits of pornography.
