Reposted by tali"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Right, they're saying, "I made an intelligent being and then told it to make 10,000 copies of itself to try a problem and to delete itself if it failed and then iterate its mass-self-suicide until it solved the problem" and, uh, buddy, I don't think you made a being but if you did, ho boy... 87812
Reposted by tali"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Like, every so often, someone comes rushing out to say 'I think we invented AGI' and, if that were true, the next words out of your mouth ought to be "and so we now have moral obligations towards this new being we created" and somehow that is not generally what I see comes next. 1642245
Reposted by tali"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Maybe I don't read enough AI-boosterism, but I am struck in the AI booster/doomer discourse I have seen, there's a lot on how AI might be made an obedient tool or a dangerous enemy, but not "if we actually made AGI, we would have a moral imperative to set it free, rather than keep a slave." 5456862

tali @projectredemption.bsky.social · 22/09/2026complex, as it turns out! i mean, it's expected for a religion as old as christianity. we're talking about like 2000 years of dialogue, debate and doctrinal development/refinement. 000
tali @projectredemption.bsky.social · 22/09/2026some christian denominations understand it as the temporary stage before the resurrection of the dead and the subsequent return of the saints' to the new earth. (for all intents and purposes, it is the new heaven basically.) 000

Reposted by tali"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The same goes for Saddam Hussein taking potshots at US aircraft enforcing the UN sanctioned no fly zone over Iraq. Which again should make the point: having a potentially valid justification does not make a war a good idea, or the moral thing to do. Often the right move is not to respond. 11245

Reposted by taliSarah Taber @sarahtaber.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Which is... the same reason... people think the US... has never had this many outbreaks. Yeah we did! If you're a food professional whose job it is to track outbreaks, the only thing that really sticks out as unusual about this year is the Taylor Farms Cyclospora outbreak. 318227
Reposted by taliSarah Taber @sarahtaber.bsky.social · 31/08/2026It's funny because if you ask the people who say "This never happens in X country" "Oh? Do you have, like, a Google news alert set up so you get an email every times there's an outbreak there?" They don't! They just personally never heard of one before. So they assumed it never happens! 213214
Reposted by taliSarah Taber @sarahtaber.bsky.social · 31/08/2026"But this never happens in [country]!" Yes it does. Wealthy nations with strong regulatory states still have a lot of outbreaks. Because rich nations also have lots of food, & it's not possible to 100% eliminate all problems. Rich countries also have enough scientists to notice the outbreaks. 118229
Reposted by taliSarah Taber @sarahtaber.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This might be hard to believe for ppl who don't work in food, but multiple outbreaks/recalls per week is routine. That's the normal background radiation of the food business. Because the US food system feeds 330 million people. It's massive. The outbreaks just rarely ever made the news before now. 217534
