maybe i'm just terminally rat-brained but i genuinely do not get what is that wrong here sure turning human lives into calculus has fucked vibes but how do you avoid so with charity donations? you have to do it on one level or another and i don't think preferring adult lives is that weird or wrong

oh to experience the Jamais Vu state that must come when the "something is wrong with you and so the meaning of life is melting into the Other" fundamental axiom and the life-defining perspectives coming from it are deinternalized and gone and you now have to explore what things mean to this new you

Apart from how annoying this would be for a pointless reason (your enthusiasm is pathological and has to be squashed by the iron fist of the law) that does not address any of the real issues anyway..

let's zoom in on this for a second, because a lot of people are being derisive, so: for many actual people, the available options are (1) real career doing weird niche symbol manipulation well enough that employers are incentivized to provide actual autism accommodations (2) washing dishes somewhere

“Tech is inherently political” is not just about ideology, but about power, too. Yielding technological improvements to the adversary will have predictable outcomes. I’m really worried it will lock in power centralization in a way that will be impossibly hard to reverse. It’s already happening.

The thing that worries me most lately is that many people who know that “fascism is bad, actually” have also convinced themselves that AI tools must be eschewed as fake or impure. In a self-reinforcing loop, there is relatively little AI tooling and infra by “fascism is bad” folks.

I don't know what the "foretold by loom" is actually a reference for but I think it would be cool if it was about the automatic textile looms being some of the more direct predecessors to today's computers.

this is early fall for me the moment you can feel the nights getting longer in your bones is like the peak of life is over, all the fun things are ending, the melancholy of seeing the shadows coming closer from the horizon feels like echoes of the liminal space between life and death

since rationalists are taking shit I might as well point out a pet peeve with the other (broadly speaking) side: doing the whole "these are low-status morons who think scifi is real" bit makes me think less of you as a person. There are more serious critiques to be made, learn to be a better hater

that any x you can use to gain some sort of advantage pressures the rest to use it or fall behind is kind of inescapable for any x even in an ideal society when this can be used as argument against the use of x has to depend on the specifics and your personal threshold i guess
