LeCun is interesting. The way he reasons about AI X-risk makes him seem like a retard, let's not mince words. He's an actual example of a mind so specialized that it has lost the c…

I don't actually believe technology can save us, don't find the techno-utopias concocted by sci-fi authors to actually be utopias, and don't accept the thesis that we have progress…

> would the concept of me and you as separate identities actually mean anything to us anymore? Clearly yes. If your body is destroyed, I will stop experiencing your thoughts and yo…

I wonder how many people will actually attempt mind uploads, or believe that completely computer generated agents are sentient. Especially since it seems like a lot of these techno…

> What does it add? Why does it suggest itself? What do you think it does? No idea where you're going with this.

Getting Epstein "suicide" vibes from this.

Virtue signaling.

Regarding Garcia Martinez, I am still surprised "straight male" is such a disadvantage that being POC doesn't buy enough oppression points to allow you to criticize white women. Th…

Interesting. I wasn't sure about blacks' position relative to jews on the oppression stack. I guess jews are actually above them (i.e. blacks cannot criticize jews the way they can…

> you experience discontinuity every night when you sleep Something dubious about this. No one thinks they're annhiliated upon sleeping, then reconstituted upon waking. Even adheri…

It's pretty lame they didn't name the app, it's clear some programmer(s) somewhere needs the wake up call.

Shouldn't you name and shame this guy in this comment? It doesn't seem like he deserves anonimity.

Interestingly, no, it isn't fully explained as of today. Schopenhauer's quote of "Any foolish boy can stamp on a beetle, but all the professors in the world cannot make a beetle" i…

Doesn't appear to be a pardon, which involves the conviction being expunged. Commuting a sentence means more like "you have been punished enough, but we were right to punish you". …

What should I be doing when I can't force users to use a password manager? So I understand you shouldn't be using hard rules, like including numbers, special symbols, and mixing up…

I see that the global center of capital is continuing its millenia long westward migration. Past the US west coast, and into China. From Prometheus Rising: > Brooks Adams also note…
