It's impossible to take AI consciousness discussions seriously when so much of it is just 'petitio principii' built on the premise that something that is capable of solving complex problems like "I want a recipe for banana bread that incorporates raw pistachios" must be conscious.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

This is a story about the Democratic Party captured by its consultants, and about what happens when the pro-democracy press is asked to say so.

It's funny that the media reports this as an "escape" when they in fact just gave Mythos normal Internet access and told it to hack a fictional target, and then acted surprised when the model got confused.

AISI
1) Shockingly, His Majesty’s Government did not outsource this crucial security task to Israel. Their banner screw-up is that they turned an LLM optimized for hacking completely loose on the public internet with a vague goal. Why did you think this was a good idea? It wasn’t. It was a very bad idea. I can’t even trust an LLM on my laptop without supervision most of the time. They get up to stuff.

1.5) Their monitoring technically worked, in that they noticed the LLM trying to go to Tor, more commonly known as “the dark net”, and cut it off. This makes them the only one of the four who actually noticed that their pet AI was hacking people! Jolly good. Better late than never, but it did get up to quite a lot before they caught it.

America is still number one. America is also number two and number three. Suck it, limeys.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

To O’Mara, the diet is not just a temporary means of losing weight but a way to eat for good. He has been doing it for 10 years, and credits it with turning his life around. At one point in our conversation he pulled up the Bristol Stool Chart, which ranges from Type 1 (“separate, hard pellets”) to Type 7 (“watery, no solid pieces”). O’Mara is consistently delivering Type 4 (“smooth, soft, like a snake”), with pointed ends, indicative of healthy rectal function, he told me. “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.”

“I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

in general, people are awful at understanding composition effects say the average new home would get an “efficiency score” of 8/10 while an old home gets a 2/10. If you pass a law requiring new homes are a 9/10, but the increased costs reduce homebuilding by 25%, overall efficiency decreases

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
