“Letting people get revenge on wrongdoers is what keeps societies locked in endless cycles of retributive violence. Indulging people’s thirst for vengeance only makes everyone worse off in the end. Especially in larger people groups, it only creates more net violence.” - @cathyreisenwitz.com

I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues. Keep. Going.

I don’t feel like I have a good handle at all on what else AI safety people might want, or why. This bothers me. I think it should bother you, too. But I intend to try to learn. And I’ll share what I know as I know it. I hope you will too.

"In sum: Male sexual desire is good. It’s good because it often leads to sex, which is good. If anything, we need more male sexual desire these days. Gender and sex-negativity are why anyone thinks it’s bad."

Why protect only AI whistleblowers? Why regulate to advantage AI companies over human-powered businesses? I think that if we keep answering hard questions for AI and AI only, we’re wasting a huge opportunity and creating a carveout/exemption for AI that we will likely come to regret later.

We’re going to have to watch a bunch of soulless toadies with either shit-eating grins or feigned indignation lecturing us about how there are countless TOTALLY INNOCENT reasons a grown man would spend hours alone with a teenage trafficking victim. Perhaps they were doing Bible study?

This looks like they are trying to create an insurance market death spiral. Without the fsa, there is already a lot of incentive for healthy people to leave the market, and with cash to pay for the urgent care level med events that healthy people are likely to face, it's even worse.
