In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I just want to go on record and say that you people are crazy if you think only 6 American soldiers have died in this conflict. It's pointless to expect the truth from mainstream media about anything much less this war of preference/choice. America is not angry enough yet for me.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

The phrase “preemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold “humanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.

Hey Benjamin, you're getting some suff wrong here, starting with framing me and my colleagues as "AI skeptics". It's true that we call BS on claims of AI, AGI, LLMs understanding etc. But "AI skeptic" is a term that resides within the AI booster's frame of view, not ours. >>

Screencap from blog post linked in quoted skeet. Text: Now for some controversy: Describing LLMs as stochastic parrots is not inherently derogatory. I think many people get tripped up here because they know that the originators of the metaphor, all of them prominent AI skeptics, meant it that way. Fine, agreed. But the cool thing about being sentient humans is that we can independently think about whether the metaphor is apt as a description of what’s happening under the hood of an LLM (yet another metaphor). Again, yes! It’s great, as close to perfect as we might find in two words for describing how these weird new things operate. It’s math, not magic.
