Really? Never noticed. I guess we can't actually see the color blue.

Is it true the smog actually made everything in cities sepia in the '70s

Version numbers are meaningless, the important thing is the cool codenames you give them, like TOPTHRILL or CORKSCREW

'I want my small town to be vibrant and also don't want any kids on my land' is definitely a type of person

He did answer the question. Deference to the ICC is a defensible viewpoint here. A debate is not a court of law. Nobody's entitled to force a yes or no answer out of him if he doesn't feel it's appropriate.

I can assure anyone who's wondering that this is absolutely not exclusive to any particular denomination lol

OK, well this is much better than the nonsense I was wasting time on before

90$??? That's nearly 100$!

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 18h

$90 is an absolutely pathetic sum for an obviously thinly veiled constituency bribe weeks before an election, just saying

So they think they're giving us Brave New World, huh Gotta say, that would not be my choice for most likely possible projected dystopia

They just want to take the visible violence out of it. We all know this. It's got nothing to do with actually making it less barbaric at all.

For the record, the word 'humane' is doing a lot of work here

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 19h

Posted this before but the way Taiwan does it seems to be the most humane possible They lay them down and shoot them, used to be a shot to the back of the head but apparently they sedate them now and shoot them in the heart. Involves fewer people, death in seconds.

If AOC does run the site will go to war over it, she seems to be backing away from that though

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 19h

tbh I think he's got a reasonable shot even if she does, if anyone's going to beat Harris in a primary, it's probably him

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 19h

Yeah, I don't think it's wrong exactly to say he's "in the Obama zone", except inasmuch as even Obama is starting to sound a little punchy these days Which was very much not the kind of President he was

Could we also give them an existential crisis like in Moon

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 21h

Also, as horrific as the proposal is in and of itself, and as little as I think of this current SCOTUS, I severely doubt they will allow this

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 21h

It's bad enough to view videos of stochastic violence or horrific accidents, but something that's being deliberately staged is altogether different

Update: Since everyone hated this so much, we decided to interview them as a panel periodically, then publish it in the New York Times.

The point that this is absolutely not about what Hasan deserves or whether this would give his victim's families more peace needs to be underlined. NO democratic country conducts public executions. Not one. Iran. North Korea. Afghanistan. This is the company you want for your country?

I don't have even a tenth of your expertise but the early work seems very promising in this regard, yes

070

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 23h

Yep. If this goes ahead, they'll go after the 'cruel and unusual' metric, too. ' 'Well, if we're killing him anyway, why not lingchi?'

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 23h

It also means the execution definitely isn't happening on the 3rd. No way this doesn't see appellate action.

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 23h

Now, give the Cali Dems some credit for the thorough job they did on Swalwell here. Some. Flawless execution, but very late.

It's the robotics work that really surprises me, that's where I was expecting a divergence in the mechanisms required to acquire domain knowledge to occur Maybe not, as it turns out (probably not?)

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 23h

Maybe the Dems should be encouraging people to think of him as being personally on the ballot after all

We're also not accounting for the degree to which granular AI moderation could be used to shape discourse in specific ways To be fair, this might also actively make things worse

We have one particular set of incentives set up and that leads us to conclude it's the only possible set of incentives for a viable platform, which seems to be quite a reach

120

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 23h

Maybe I'm an optimist but I fundamentally don't agree with this Like the way we've included group chats under the aegis of social media because some billionaires and wanna be iconoclast pundits drove themselves insane has nothing to do with systemic incentives and everything to do with the company

120

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 23h

Exactly. Particularly interested in seeing the crosstabs on exit polls in this race. Lots of narratives, not all of which can be true simultaneously.

020

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Drawing electoral lessons before you've even got general results in is absolutely crazy, particularly in a state where you already had a massive polling miss in the primary I'm directing this both at AOC and people offering confident contrasting takes. Gonna have to wait for that here.

0137

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Guess he's not gonna make that date on December 3rd, then No way this doesn't get a hearing at appeal

000

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

There are states where you can have a reasonable degree of confident about outcomes right now but Michigan isn't one of them

140

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This is all premature! We don't know how he's going to perform in the general, and we already have clear evidence there might be issues with polling in Michigan this cycle.

160

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I mean, Michigan is a purple state, but that's shouldn't be really the point. The point should be that he hasn't won office yet.

Tallying this as evidence for my hypothesis that everyone in Gotham suspects Bruce Wayne is Batman, but chooses not to know

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It's extremely offensive, but I do also find it amusing insomuch as highly public statements like this it drive socialist economic reductionists absolutely insane

I think this very much depends on the lie in question. How many homeowners are willing to hear that increasing housing stock is fundamentally at odds with preserving the value of their home?

Even setting aside the Saudi backing, there was something profoundly weird about seeing Ronaldo and Salvatore Ganacci in CotW Fortnite is what it is, but not everything has to be Fortnite

030

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah, but they also don't like not being lied to, so it's kind of a lose-lose

Gonna be funny when it goes poof because the machine resolves P=NP instead of through exploits

000

dkhunter, Crawling Chaos, Reluctant 🇨🇦 Nationalist @dkhunter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The key point here is that it's good regardless of whether or not you think the machine exhibits any degree of consciousness People who treat their chatbots like crap are modelling antisocial behaviour in text, and based on a lot of what I see here, we don't need to make that problem worse
