i'm not sure that "reintegrating into society" and "maintaining a public-facing crowdfunded program advocating and fundraising for progressive causes" are equivalent in terms of things that ought to be available to everybody regardless of having committed rape etc

jacob geller writing a statement acknowledging that he did in fact rape a sleeping woman and attaching the phrase "my continued drive to make myself and the world better" is extremely repulsive to me

do you think tony gilroy knew that "Revanchsim exists in star wars but its named after a guy called Revan" when he decided to make a show about insurrectionary realpolitik where the main realpolitik guy is called Luthen Rael. do you think everybody in star wars starts talking about "Rael-politics"

everyone is being about 170% as incredulous as they should be about the LLM navier-stokes counterexample but also about 25% as incredulous as they should be about LLMs supposedly running US military systems as opposed to being a new wrapper over the existing Project Maven shit

OpenAI will not be accepting the million dollar Millennium Prize, continuing in the proud tradition established by Grigori Perelman. They are mathematical soulmates, Perelman and OpenAI. Their kinship is that of two strongly philosophically aligned peas in a pod.

who would win, bizarre pretzel-twisty attempt to make Progressive Comics That Speak To The Human Condition by a cia psychopath, or the end result of a normal guy going "my nephew showed me this thing called Berserk the other day. there is a tormented man in that with so many muscles. splendid"

yeah it's well-observed that human beings show more empathy towards dogs than towards other adult human beings. i think what goku naruto's post is expressing is - if we take a step back from our intuitions here, do things look a bit strange, ethically? www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...

People have more empathy for battered dogs than human adult, but not child, victims
People have more empathy for battered puppies and full grown dogs than they do for some humans — adults, but not children, finds new research.

Gusev has spent years at this point repeatedly dunking on Murray, Sailer, Yarvin et al. he's wrong about free speech absolutism but when he says "i think we should defeat pseudoscientific racism in the marketplace of ideas" he's saying what he honestly believes

that said i dont think cofnas getting fired/suspended because he made a bunch of racist posts demonstrating that he got his idea of how genetics works from assassins creed or possibly mass effect is the end of the world, academic freedom-wise

followed sasha gusev a while ago specifically because i find his frequent in-depth rebuttals of racist pseudoscience interesting so i think that while its fair to disagree with him about the principle of the thing "this racist is only CLAIMING to be a marketplace of ideas guy" doesnt cut the mustard

not ideal that the two positions on Arday appear to be "its fine/good that a washed up substack racist can lead a smear suicide campaign" and "oh so you journalists think it's 'funny' when a public figure lies about running a £5m supermarathon with a broken leg and cancer of the brain and testes???"

the fact that making a SS2/Deus Ex/Thief ripoff with good, satisfying gameplay often involves some combination of "the player is a mediating factor between various squabbling factions" and "if you try hard enough you can solve all your problems nonlethally" kind of plants the ideological seeds......

at risk of Blueskying too hard, i think your comedy derives not just from the application of your logical skills, but also from an underlying warmth and humanism (even if you do subvert this a lot), which is too often missing. not sure how this factors into your maths papers, not really my area

i think it's relevant to a particular concern fallout 1+2, "there's a racist idea that human civilisations start here and move in a straight line to there, but ACTUALLY 🧐🧐🧐 the line is very wobbly and its also kind of a snakes and ladders board"

i think this is true for basically any case in which the guy who turned out to be a rapist had not previously said "if my house got broken into i would rape the intruder to assert dominance"
