I think it’s good that the most transphobic major western party is in danger of losing seats it won by 15-20% last election I think it’s good that the transphobic ads they’re spending tens of millions of dollars to run don’t appear to be working I think it would be even better if they actually

Always hard to resist the urge to ruin the movie when it the opportunity presents itself. See if you can tell exactly when that happened here

how attributable will agentic hacks be, though? presumably Batman can’t beat up a Chinese AI and ask it who it works for

as someone who’s been paying attention to AI X-risk for 5 minutes, this is so bizarre to me. the Yudkowskys of the world are annoying but the e/acc people genuinely come across as the most repulsive people society has ever produced, like if you could be severed from the Platonic ideal of “good”

yeah I think optimistically, in the long run, inference ends up being a commodity

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

I want to scream every time someone says “well I outline the piece with AI but then I write it” outlining is writing! deciding what you’ll write about and how is writing! writing is not only the choosing of individual words

“poor governance” implies low prices because of low demand - the place sucks, so there’s not a lot of people trying to buy housing there that’s not what’s going on in Texas

from what I’ve read: in the long term, yes, but not until diesel storage maxes out. there’d be a a short window where diesel would get cheaper and gasoline wouldn’t, and if you timed it just right, you might have the election before you have to face the many consequences

yes. you can agree with the diagnosis but not the prescription. Amodei is right that the tech is dangerous; what we do about that isn't up to him

no, it's our problem. if they make dangerous unaligned AI, we are the ones who will pay > Now we might shut you down. yes, that is explicitly what I want the government to do. it is the government's role to solve collective action problems

I'm not sure how you make plans for a naked coup d'etat, though? the recent coup attempt in South Korea was more of a surprise than Jan 6. and it failed because as soon as it was set in motion, people who had done no planning rushed to stop it www.bbc.com/news/article...

Seth Dickinson's novel Exordia has a story thread about this where aliens can inflict a loss of apophenia (the book coins a name for this but I forget what it is) and it gives them this psychotic break when they look at normal people still following a narrative

I did an internship working the phones at a politician’s field office once and I legitimately learned more about schizophrenia than politics lesson #1 was that any way to contact a prominent person - mail, email, phone - is a lightning rod for paranoid schizophrenics

don’t have to take a lot of ground or even hold it if your goal is to simply trigger Article 5 and hope the US doesn’t respond, fatally discrediting the alliance
