Ehhh, with a large enough population you’re bound to find someone crazy enough to do it for no reason at all.

Bad people can do good things sometimes, and you should never interrupt or shame them for doing it. Many people on the internet forget that.

I said I do not agree with collective punishment. In no way should a Chinese person be deported or put in a camp because a different Chinese person was engaged in espionage. Only people found guilty of espionage should be deported, period.

What I’m saying is that Chinese espionage is based in reality, unlike the claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets.

As much as I despise the policy of mass deportation (collective punishment is morally repugnant), at least this has a plausible reason behind it instead of “they’re eating our pets”.

BRB, raising another round of capital to integrate NFTs

If you think hyperlinks have any danger of going extinct, I have shares in a crypto-based AI-powered bridge to sell you.

Nukes. The hesitation is always about who is unhinged enough to actually fire a nuke.

The universe has plenty of room for more humans. There’s a shit ton of matter out there, if you can get to it.

“Natural” women implies the existence of unnatural, eldritch women, who drive men mad through their ancient Lovecraftian presence.

Muscular never really hurts, it’s just not the most important feature.

He was fuck on in his twenties, and then fuck off in his thirties. We already established that.

I’m actually okay with semi-centralized. Most people need that to trust a platform, but it still gives you the option to self host if you really care.

It’s to be expected. My theory is that millennials grew up late enough that they had access to the early Internet, so they got exposed to all kinds of strange cultures and had to learn tolerance and acceptance.

The younger generations grew up with an internet dominated by mega corporations, and algorithmic feeds. Unfortunately hostile states and other bad actors have been very effective at exploiting these mechanisms, causing a strong right wing shift simply due to exposure.

Your brain is strongly colored by what it consumes, of course.

Of course! It’s not like animals have jet engines!

Human brains are merely the proof that such energy efficiencies are possible for intelligence. It’s likely we can match or go far beyond that, probably not by emulating biology directly. (Though we certainly may use it as inspiration while we figure out the underlying principles.)

So they took funding from a crypto capital fund, but with the expectation that blockchain would never be added to the product. Seems fairly okay to me.

As always, technology doesn’t change human behaviors, it just speeds them up.

You should research the definition of AI then. Even the A* pathfinding algorithm was historically considered AI. It’s a remarkably broad field.

Even Zuckerberg admits that trying to scale LLMs larger doesn’t work because the energy and compute requirements go up exponentially. There must exist a different architecture that is more efficient, since the meat computers in our skulls are hella efficient in comparison.

Once we figure that architecture out though, it’s very likely we will be able to surpass biological efficiency like we have in many industries.

Right, so AIs don’t really know what words are. All they see are tokens. The tokens could be words and letters, but they could also be image/video features, audio waveforms, or anything else.

I wish I had your optimism
