Imagine if instead of regulating drone risks the normal way (which we did), we instead paid weird bloggers lots of money to worry about superintelligent dogs sprouting thumbs and using drones to kill us. This is pretty much how the US is approaching AI risks and regulations. My latest:

Why We Can't Let Enormous Weirdos Regulate AI

Imagine if instead of regulating drones via the standard lengthy, boring, and bureaucratic process - which we did - we instead decided, in the name of fostering all-important American drone innovation...

not just a missing stair but a giant hole in the floor where if you say "hey could we put some plywood over at least part of this hole, it makes it really hard to use the space" you get "no!!! the hole does not want plywood!!! the hole must gape!!! all hail the hole!!!"

will be mad forever about this. I was willing to semi-religiously follow some of his philosophical principles and he made it impossible to do that in community by declining to ever learn a single social skill even for the good of the cause

I met people in the Boston free software scene that seemed legitimately cool and like they were trying but rms's heavy-handed vibe curation hung over the whole thing and it just didn't work

he did not personally sex pest me but the one time I met him at a free software event he asked if I was with a women-specific group and when I said I was there on my own bc I was just interested he immediately turned away and ignored me

this is also how free software as a movement got sidelined (one smart sex pest drove away basically every smart and interested woman)

ooh, yes. related to why their "timeless decision theory" stuff is such bullshit - decisions and actions on those decisions happen within time!! time is real!!

they have somehow forgotten, like, the most basic premise of chaos theory??

not just *into*, but her dad's theological preferences are specific enough that he's created his own elaborate apologetics website that's like what if lesswrong was about obscure conservative Christian shit and also was basically all one guy
