The thing that worries me most lately is that many people who know that “fascism is bad, actually” have also convinced themselves that AI tools must be eschewed as fake or impure. In a self-reinforcing loop, there is relatively little AI tooling and infra by “fascism is bad” folks.

imo, if you find yourself agreeing with the message below, you should rethink just how much you let tabloid capture you. So many of you had nothing nice to say about copilot a few weeks back. Even if you have an absurd level of extending guilty-by-association, there's like 5 better labs before msft.

hmm, not sure if I messed it up somehow but couldn't make the garlic or bacon come through. perhaps using a krakauer instead of a wiener made it dominate the flavor profile more. enjoyable snack though, might make more.
A close-up view of a kitchen counter shows various food items, including a bag of Kerrygold cheddar cheese, a package of "Bio Delikatess Bacon" (Organic Delicacy Bacon), a bag of "Schinken-Krakauer" (Pork Krakauer), some meggle garlic bread, a large paper bag with spring onions, and some chili.Two long sandwiches filled with cheddar at the bottom, sausages on top, then bacon on top of that.Two long, cheesy hot dogs on toasted bread are arranged on brown parchment paper, post-baking. They are topped with melted cheese and pieces of bacon.A long, toasted baguette sandwich filled with melted cheese, bacon, sausage, and topped with sliced green onions and red peppers sits on a light blue plate.

just got my thefermentationproject.com tasting kit
A purple plastic bag containing coffee beans sealed with a sticker that reads "THE FERMENTATION PROJECT" is placed inside a cardboard box.A collection of coffee bean bags from "The Fermentation Project" is displayed on a dark surface (my bed).
There are 4 bags with slightly differently colored bags. There's a card with the project's name and involved people (James Hoffmann, Lucia Solis) and another with what color maps to which fermentation. There are also two stickers, one for the project, one for the coffee roaster.

this is the closest position that i've seen to mine, I think I agree with 90% or so of it. i hope to see more of this sort of optimism, by people who want to use tech to improve our lives rather than to rent-seek. (english also on mondediplo.com/2026/09/12ai)

I had to accept that I don't quite fit into any circle, and if I am fitting for a period that's only until the collective decides to push for something that doesn't align with their views to that point. Is it worth sticking to my views if it gets me excluded? idk. Am I gonna keep doing it? yea.

love gyges, but this thread rubs me the wrong way it reads like it's conflating the concept of AI safety with the AI Safety™️ movement with the weird sex shit some partake in, and imbues all of these with a general sense of Badness and I think that's... bad? certainly, it's unpleasant argumentation

this seems surprisingly reasonable coming from openai, and doesn't read like regulatory capture. link: openai.com/index/fronti...
If artificial general intelligence is going to benefit all of humanity, the world needs more than
voluntary commitments, individual company policies, and isolated regulatory interventions. It needs
harmonized legal frameworks and durable institutions capable of adapting as technology advances.
That framework should:
● Address frontier risks to national security and public safety. The primary goal of any
frontier safety framework should be to mitigate the most severe risks posed by advanced
general-purpose AI systems. These include risks related to cyber and CBRN threats, RSI
progress, and loss-of-control scenarios that could result in catastrophic outcomes.
● Advance democratic governance. Decisions about how society manages frontier AI risks
should be made through representative government, not by private companies acting alone.
Frontier safety governance should reflect the strengths of free societies: transparency,
public accountability, independent oversight, and the rule of law.
● Promote transparency. Governments, researchers, businesses, and the public need reliable
information about how frontier AI is developed, evaluated, and deployed. Transparency
creates accountability, supports independent scrutiny, and helps ensure that policy
decisions are informed by evidence.
● Protect innovation. A frontier safety framework should focus on the highest-consequence
risks without creating unnecessary barriers for startups, researchers, and developers
building on top of frontier capabilities. It should reduce risk without locking today's industry
structure into law.
● Build adaptive institutions. AI is advancing rapidly, and frontier governance must be
capable of evolving alongside the technology. Policymakers should create institutions that
can learn, experiment, incorporate new evidence, and update standards over time.
Implementing a frontier safety framework will require action at multiple levels of government, as
well as international cooperation.

what roko didn't predict is that his cognitohazard might instead lead to massive damage not through a cult building the actual basilisk, but instead through conditioning the public to laugh at anyone talking about any risks whatsoever, even risks very far from "superintelligence" or "death".

Worth keeping in mind that the masses, especially the loud and rude ones, are not the arbiters of truth. "Bad takes" are not universal, nor are they necessarily incorrect. Hatred and bigotry are bad, but people dogpile a lot more than that on this website. Dunking is an awful way to change minds.

Ran into "ibuprofen lycine" while on vacation by accident a few weeks back (got sold ibuprofen express, then had a fun time figuring why it says that). It just is ibuprofen but gets absorbed faster, 30min onset vs 90, which is so much nicer. Dunno how I didn't know about it, not so popular here.
