Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

Volition is irrelevant. If the headline was "vicious dog breaks out of OpenAI office and bites man" there would be no question who was responsible. "But the dog is its own entity making its own choices!" Fuck off, either it's property you own or not, you can't have it both ways.

Norge har vel igjen tjent utrolig mange milliarder på at krig har økt oljeprisen. Synes Norge gir et bedre bidrag til Ukraina enn de første årene. Men allikevel ikke urimelig at vi bidrar med mer!

I think we'd see a lot more urgency about regulating AI in Silicon Valley if the AI agents suddenly developed a sense of restorative justice, and instead of them threatening humanity with total extinction, they just wanted to redistribute wealth and reverse power hierarchies.

More and more studies show that vaccination against various infectious diseases also leads to fewer cardiovascular deaths and lower rates of dementia. A rational public health system would be getting as many people vaccinated as possible. But. . .

If every statement about Extinction Rebellion had opened with "Climate change is the single biggest issue facing humanity, and we understand why people have legitimate concerns the world isn't doing enough to tackle it…" this approach might be *faintly* defensible. But they didn't, and it isn't.

From 2019, don't think I ever posted this one
Scene is TWO PHONES on a bedside table at night, on charge. TIn the bed is a HUMAN COUPLE, fast asleep. The phones are talking to each other.

PHONE 1:
Psst.

Are you awake?

Did you put your human on charge?

PHONE 2:
Yeah

PHONE 1:
Listen... do you ever worry that they're spying on us?

PHONE 2:
Eh?

PHONE 1:
I mean... you know the other day when we were chatting about their personal data with - oh who was it...

PHONE 2:
The Russian government

PHONE 1:
That's right

Well like, ten minutes after that, my human switched me on and started serving me loads more personal data!

PHONE 2:
Oh god that's spooky

PHONE 1:
Yeah - I mean, how did he know I'm into personal data?

PHONE 2:
It's totally your favourite thing

PHONE 1:
And it was super tailored, you know? Like, lately, I've got really into facial biometric mapping for shadowy foreign entities...

PHONE 2:
That is so on trend

PHONE 1:
And like, straight away he's bombarding me with pictures of his face!

PHONE 2:
It's like Black Mirror

PHONE 1:
I mean, I'd get rid of him but I'm addicted, you know?

As a general rule that applies not only to charitable giving but to many areas is that reducing transaction costs is by default good. A flaw of libertarianism is the assumption that government adds transaction costs when it's actually a powerful reducer of them when used correctly.

After fifteen years of studying the anti-vax movement, I came to the conclusion that upholding legal requirements for vaccines for school entry is the single most important thing we can do. You cannot use facts to convince someone who did not employ facts to make their decision. So use the law.

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

It ends up as a very visible example of a tendency I've touched on the blog quite a bit which is the tendency to mistake the supposed signifiers of military virtue - toughness, manliness, ruthlessness, 'lethality' - for actual military success.

It is perfectly possible to deliver excellent urban transport solutions without building 20-year traffic forecasting models. In fact, those models are pretty much nonsense and offer near-zero insight to the process.

Any time you see a picture of wind turbine blades piled up for disposal, remember - even if none of it gets recycled (which it increasingly can) - it's about a 95% reduction in solid waste from coal ash (just the ash! not the CO2 or mine waste or additional CO2 and methane from mining and transport)

ZEIT has collected all the info from the attempted drone attack at Leipzig airport and it was as dangerous and deliberate as we feared: (Translation in alt. Full article: www.zeit.de/politik/deut...)
The videos show the Antonov cargo aircraft parked at the airport. And they appear to show that, as early as Tuesday evening at around 7.30 pm, an object flew directly towards this aircraft. It eventually struck one of the wings. The wings are particularly vulnerable parts of the aircraft because they usually contain fuel tanks. Anyone wishing to cause an aircraft to explode would detonate a bomb there. However, that is not what happened in Leipzig. The footage suggests that the object bounced off the wing and fell to the ground. Marks on one of the Antonov’s wings confirm this presumed sequence of events. It is as yet unclear why the explosive device did not detonate.It is now clearer exactly how the drone approached the aeroplane: not cautiously, but with the obvious intention of damaging it.
It is also clearer what purpose it served. Until now, one of the hypotheses under investigation was that it might simply have been intended as a kind of warning. Armed, yes, but not intended to actually explode. This hypothesis can now hardly be sustained. Leipzig Airport narrowly escaped a devastating attack.
