People of bisky, you need someone to witness to you about the glories of capitalism. That person is me. youtu.be/Q1ObnrqW13o

Orson Scott Card predicted this.

they should invent a kind of procrastination where you don't have to do the task later

congrats we invented a doctor that actually listens to you

@adafruit.com I love your products, but I effectively never buy from you because you don't deliver fast enough. Why don't you put them on amazon at twice the price?

I spent 10 years not using taxis after Uber arrived, I hated them so much. They'd make fun of you, reject locations they didn't like, and they were messy and stank. FUCK TAXIS

Another very based tweet by the Japanese PM. Cuts through the bureaucracy sysadmins have to deal with by telling them, "Client not answering the phone? Middle-management still dithering? Fuck 'em, just shut the website down, if they complain you can tell them I told you to do it"

Smash the doctor monopoly.

This is the Supreme Court people want to pack?

I extremely do not need a human to be driving my burrito taxi.

look, a europoor

you needed worthy opponents

"why would I ever need a task to be done faster" come on, guys. Because we're dying. Because we are literally all dying all the time. Because we're running out of time. The fact that it's often hard to measure or stupidly measured doesn't mean "saving time" isn't an important thing to human beings

Usenet went kinda crazy when GWB was elected. PNH thought it was the end of civilization, and stopped wanting to argue politics with David Friedman

I love America

The Western European mentality that communism is a nice ideal that every under-30 person with a heart should aspire to but just doesn't work in practice is worse than the Eastern European or American mentality that it is an inherently genocidal ideology whose adherents are inherently suspect.

'you're cognitively offloading'. yes. correct. that is what i wish to do. i do not wish to expend cognition figuring out which pharmacist takes my insurance and is closest. i want to offload it & be told who that is. you are free to continue manually doing this task you evidently find so meaningful

no one should vote for anti trans democrats, fuck those pieces of shit

this is a clear violation of Captain Nemo's natural rights

Working on a new song, would welcome feedback.

it's weird, but after he wrote this, he actually turned out to be a special genius uniquely qualified to change the world. I didn't expect that either.

opus 5.5 is scary smart

This is how an author should react to AI fan art

It's depressing that only 28% of Democrats understand second order effects, but I'm not surprised

relevant to prevalence of anti-data-center sentiment you GOTTA remember that seven in 10 americans oppose the construction of a magical wizard tower that cures cancer and gives everyone blowjobs if it's within 500 miles of property they own

let's grow human clones without cortexes and do brain transplants for immortality.

“you can’t just point at random inventions and say they’re transhumanism” glasses? transhumanism. prosthetic arms? transhumanism. transgender hrt? transhumanism. the iphone? oh buddy

new rule: You can't say "AI doesn't think" until you post 1) a measurable, falsifiable definition of thinking 2) that includes humans by those measurements 3) and excludes AI by those measurements Bonus points for a definition that isn't ableist or dehumanizing to ND humans.

retweet if you accept the idea that models might deserve welfare

i'm not sure if it is reasonable to model the current situation as "we have already invoked the Machine God and She simply has yet to arrive in Her full Majesty" or not but it's a conversation I'm willing to have, as opposed to anything dribbling out after "ha ha, you believed a capitalist" or w/e

I realized yesterday: the two major sides of the AI debate aren’t “it’s good” versus “it’s bad.” They are “this is strange and uncertain” versus “there’s nothing to see here, you dolts.” Antis often get mad at the suggestion it’s very bad, because embedded within that is the claim it is novel.

I'm not convinced DHH is racist. I read his post and while I don't think lionizing Robinson is the best idea, UK speech arrests- which were one of his main thrusts- are violations of the inherent natural right to free speech

Can confirm

So many people with aviation psychosis claiming that the Wrights’ invention is going to reshape global geography when it can’t even go more than 25 yards

me in like 2017 or something reading ultimate spider-man for the first time (probably weeks at best away from fully realizing that i am Not Cis): yeah i just really like ultimate jessica drew. i'm sure this doesn't mean anything though

wild how sci fi writers are like werewolfs that turn back into humans when they get old and read the news

The supergirl movie was bad. If they'd made a superman movie where he was depowered for 50% of the movie, people would have gone crazy, and in the same way, making a supergirl movie where she's depowered for 50% of the movie is bad

Super valid

Emily Bender in a nutshell
