> unless you specifically opted out. They don't give you that option when you vote.

> Why not? Because I don't want it to be. Why so? > It's considered public information The question is why is it considered public information. > just like political donation reco…

"Squatting on a trademark" makes no sense. You might as well say that I'm squatting on my name because I'm not allowing other people to sign contracts for me. You can clone someone…

This is entirely backwards. AI should be used as a tool to tutor kids. Kids shouldn't be learning about AI. I thought the point of AI was that people didn't have to know anything to talk to …

> The kind of person with lots of evidence that they're good But what evidence is there that anyone is "good"? The fact that I am an insider to one event does not make me an inside…

> It's useful for things like elections, where though popular media might push one line of thought primarily, the markets will adjust to be closer to the reality. Pretty visible in the 2024 el…

I thought the entire point of prediction markets was to attract insiders with a way to turn their knowledge into cash. Doesn't that imply that everybody else is going to be net negative? That…

> It's a representative example. This is the assertion. You can recognize it because the obvious reply is that it is not at all a representative example, but one that you just handpicked. You&…

It's been a lot longer than that. You may have forgotten to include the encroachments that you supported; you seem only to have started with the disaster under Biden. For example, I never hear ab…

Your goals are petty and short-sighted. One nice thing about the current state of economics, technology, labor and inflation is that we'll have fewer people who can only imagine suffering to the …

What public state speculation about Russian interference in anything ever was substantiated? As far as I can tell, nothing that has been said about Russian intelligence operations in the West (over …

That's the US government and Israeli POV, but the reality is that it is full of large, medium, small and micro manipulation campaigns backed from everybody from nation-states, to video game publi…

Nobody suggested calculating the average of all opinions.

> a physical button New definition of "absurd" just dropped...

The problem is that if there were one, it would be subverted by powerful people with enormous amounts of cash to throw around. Firefox was the people's browser, then it suddenly wasn't. If y…

Maybe it's also helpful to point out that all evil is done by actual humans, and that google will actually fire humans who don't do what google wants them to do.

"Learning" for LLMs is just as goofy and propagandistic a metaphor as "stealing" for copyright. I find it predictive of your position that you'll accept one dumb metaphor for …

You would assume that there is more proprietary code available to read on the internet than GPL code? Do you have any rationale for that assumption? Basically all GPL code is available on the web an…

> The best way to not be in a digital cage is to opt out of the current digital products. Bullshit. These are all-encompassing monopolies and government services. More likely, they'll ban you…

> how unreasonable he sounds It's important to remember that they're targeting your children. You grew up with freedom from surveillance and constant identification. You were able to comm…

I think the difference between source repos and arbitrary data objects (which are as often as not images or videos) is that people tend to mirror repos locally indefinitely, especially if it's a …

Not writing code isn't the same as vibe-coding. You can stay on top of AI, make it rewrite the things that look bad, make it refactor until you're happy with how things look, etc.... Maybe a…

> I don't understand how decisions like these align with the supposed "America First" rhetoric coming from the same side. Because that rhetoric has ended, replaced with H1B-love, Isr…

Bad news! They will not be aware that you have done this and will not care.

> he’s showing that it went against every instruction he gave it. How exactly is he doing that? By making the LLM say it? Just because an LLM says something doesn't mean anything has been show…

That doesn't hold up in comparison to this experiment, in which the best outcome from pressing the blue button is that you're rewarded in exactly the same way as if you had pushed the red bu…

You literally can't fix it, you need half the world's help to do it. Things that I need billions of people's help for are on the top of the list of things that I literally can't …

People's "by default" behavior will never define what is rational. You don't do polling to choose rationality. If there is a game in which you choose between two buttons, you know …
