TWG: is a good reminder that atrocities don’t come from convenient avatars of all I oppose
Random bluecheck: On the contrary, this just reaffirms my biases that e/accs and AGI race-promoters are the source of every bad thing in the world.
TWG: was he e/acc?
We are in the 'he only followed some e/acc, he never said he was e/acc' phase. Wonder what his manifesto will say.
Splitting but worse, because when attacked over this they can retreat to the castle which says 'no we don't mean these as strict camps, but as ranges, and one is not better than the other.
This is one of the superweapons Scott claimed feminism has. (Yeah, I'm part elephant, I still am going on about the now deleted meditations on superweapons).
That is it, im joining the Conjoiners to become an engine.
The first part of this article reminds me of something that was missing from the article a while back, on the flaws of LW/Rationalist style thinking. It was missing that LW/Rationalists love to create binary camps. Object vs Meta, Soldier vs Scout mindset, Founder vs Manager, and here external "AI is fake and sucks” internal "AI is real and dangerous.” camps. These mindsets are often massively flawed and lead to very simplistic thinking (see for example how in this case, the AI is real vs AI is fake actually removes 2 camps (the internal 'AI is fake' people and the external 'AI is real' people)).
Ah Lyta Gold, one of the enjoyable writers from current affairs before Nathan went all "call an ambulance! I think I'm having a moment of class consciousness! But just for me!" Starts firing everybody. And I realized that vague socialist left libertarians suck. (In a just world he would languish alone on his site, with only the email replies he gets from Noam Chomsky to keep him warm. But it isn't a just world, so he just replaced his writers, like a proper capitalist owner).
But turns out Gold (I had lost sight of her) has a book "Dangerous Fictions: The Fear of Fantasy and the Invention of Reality" out which might be relevant to us. And she also blogs on substack, with relevant to out interest posts like "what ever happened to right-wing art?" (Moldbug mentioned, drink!), and a look at conservative masculinity "What if we treated men like adults?".
Sure, but that step comes after the cops lift you out of your bed. And you get a good lawyer etc etc. Nobody was charged after the home visit but it still was a home visit, granted that was in .nl so less risk of being shot or getting your stuff stolen. And that is assuming the law still works.
in real life
Careful not to post things that could get you into trouble with a judge without a sense of humor, or just cops/secret service. Wouldn't be the first time I hear of a home visit because the cops got confused at a joke.
Esp if it turns out the conspiracy theory about the murder being crypto related and they confuse this place for being a pro cryptocurrency place.
E: on topic just not LLMs and artists but also the idea that Musk got Trump elected will cause a backlash. (Which I find dubious, more despite the man, they made the election be about a gay onlyfans support squirrel ffs)
Wtf, Unity is right there.
In a just world they would be able to sue for damages for the storefront not being up, but I doubt this will be possible in any good way.
