... you know. If I could transform into someone a CEO is ethically obligated to help and then punish them for failing to do so, in such a way that they can only be accepted into society again if they learn basic moral lessons about decency, I don't think I would do anything else ever again.

Even Jews acknowledged Nazi moral agency and hold them fully and completely responsible for their own actions but their children and everyone born afterwards gets to make their own damn mistakes and own them

One of the highlights of NYC Climate Week was getting a ride through the city on Saul Griffith's new Lightfoot scooter. It's incredibly cool -- way more solid & stylish in person than I expected. I swear I took pictures but I can't find any of them so you'll have to trust me.

This new solar-powered scooter is unlike anything you've seen before
The Lightfoot scooter comes with two large solar panels so it doesn't have to plug in.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

The rabbi telling Anthropic that he thinks what they’re doing is fine, because Claude is just a machine to him, but if they’re right (and it is conscious), then they’re world historic monsters, is really interesting.

there is a verison on amorality that replaces effectiveness with effort and the best evidence of effort is persistance in the face of pain. this performance also replaces the actual actions that would allow resolution of the problem because the problem is functional for those in power
