  • It is extremely annoying the frequency with which i have to use !g to find the specific thing i'm thinking about. I'll still use ddg because the bangs are great, but as a search engine it might actually be worse than fucking google.

  • Simple, they drill a hole to put a bolt through the pile of stone tablets.

  • Translation is definitely mostly pretty good, but I think I still prefer the older style with broken grammar to LLMs making up well formed plausible sentences that are completely wrong.

    Also the results of translating back and forth and on and on are a lot less interesting, though in exchange it is fun to type stupid nonsense into it.

  • I appreciate the sentiment but the overwhelming majority of child sexual abuse is done by family. So maybe try a database of parents, I don't know.

  • Oh, third option, he really wants to do phrenology and he figures if he does it on paedos no one will mind

    We'll continue that trend: predicting pedophilic behavior based solely on facial features, bringing levity to an otherwise serious crime.

    what is wrong with you

  • Is this some sort of bait or is he really expecting this to help in whatever way it is he imagines this would help?

  • You know, I realise I have no idea what a Bose–Einstein condensate is and I can't help but picturing it as a cup of blue espresso.

  • Well that sounds like a great way to either make a very messy explosion or have your house smell like you're disposing of a corpse from a mile away.

  • I hear ethereum is going to solve all of bitcoin's problems

  • LLMs, text to photo, and text to video models are getting logarithmically better year over year.

  • I considered it but god can you imagine, no one hates SBF more than crypto bros

  • what the fuck, who's tweeting this on his behalf and what is it meant to accomplish?

  • Science-fiction solutions for science-fiction problems!

    Hey it's just like The Clockwork Rocket if Greg Egan was an AI-doomer, an idiot, a nazi, and hated fun!

  • The gratuitous hate for washing machines in this is so funny. Dudes rock.

  • The French urologist by day eugenicist transhumanist crank by night Laurent Alexandre had an interesting perspective on the subject fifteen years ago. We should do eugenics and edit our brains to be better so as to counter the emergence of Artificial Intelligence. The robots will replace us if we don't do rigorous embryo selection.

    Incidentally he also warns that a modern day Stalin in possession of nanomachines and gene editing technologies would create what he terms "neuro-gulags".

    I don't remember seeing Lesswrongers play with these sorts of ideas, which is a little surprising. But they're reluctant to diminish the AI's omnipotence I imagine.

  • I've played Geneforge. This is going to go badly for everyone involved.

  • Enders Game

    you mean HPMOR of course

    It's really funny how HPMOR inherits the exact same problems from Ender's Game like there was nothing at all to learn. Harry and Ender's violence is recognised as maladaptive, a result of trauma, they might end the world or do a big genocide, but that's because they're so much smarter and more competent than anyone around them! They can keep their evil half (!!!) in check with the power of their big ethical brain (the good hemisphere????).

  • See also with the Elon stuff the (pretend-) concern over gov agencies knowing your SSN. Like, what?
