Should I start posting takes™

Like, surely I could double that

POV you're a superpersuasive AI installed in a self-driving car to argue people out of attacking it

in high dimensional space you can make any statement about high dimensional space and people will assume it's true

Why is it that every objection to some technology on Bluesky is like complete fucking bullshit that anyone can verify?

hmm

"It's odd that you're posting here then. If Antifa cannot be joined or supported, then I don't see how we in the EA community could objectively use evidence and logic to make a case to support it over other causes, especially if we try to measure the good one's money does with something such as a Disability-Adjusted Life-Year (DALY). If you would like to share some objective, peer reviewed research on how Antifa fits in the Effective Altruist movement, I would love to take a look at it."

These posts are burning my face off

Tumblr post: i promise to shoot the man i accosted in the alleyway unless he gives me his wallet. he says "this is just like rokos basilisk". i say "what?", and the man says "ah so you don't already know. i know information which is dangerous to you, and may cause unquantified but large amounts of disutility to you if you know it. give me the gun or i will tell you this information". obviously i wouldn't believe him, except omega previously told me that my next victim would be right about everything he said. so im inventivzed to shoot him before he can speak, but a weighted average of all human beliefs implies murder will be punished severely in the afterlife (so the tiny probability any god is real doesn't cancel itself out across different gods). instead i lunge forward and hold a cloroform rag over his mouth, knocking him out. now i need only fear earthly reprisal, and my accomplice (who is my alibi, due to our distinct resemblance) is a perfect copy of me. since ive precommitted to kill myself if i get ratted out (as has he, since we're perfect copies) i know im secure. in a way he precommitted before he even existed, though since that idiot thinks he's the original he doesn't realize it. hey what if i could credibly predict that he would commit to other things before he existed. he could- oh goddamn it what a waste of cloroform. before i leave to begin bringing about the existence of a vindictive superintellegent ai i pull the wallet from the mans pocket- $0 dollars. just another night for me, just another night

With some creative liberties, rationalists would make for a good D&D race. The cultural lore works well

hm ok

put a thick moisturizer in the fridge lol

pretty sure you don't have to do that unless it irritates your skin too much

Get screened for intellectual disability, all of you

I think an issue with many anti-education takes is that they frequently generalize too far, often from minority groups

This possibly also generalizes too far I think, but probably from the majority

Mandatory prereqs can make that annoying though

not that I'm anti higher ed or whatever in general, though I did express this take before

I don't think I gained much related to this from college. I did more research and presented a symposium, but not from what I learned there

but like I didn't finish anyway, so I could be missing something

I wasn't in an accelerated program, we didn't have that

I took an exit exam at 16 though

eh maybe

bsky.app/profile/not....

Like, I had stats papers accepted in journals at 17

That said, I was not in fact too good for college or whatever, and was instead too deficient for it

skill issue?

Thanks!

...interesting name stylization

I'm 23 today

She does discuss it more in Outspoken, but that was published in 2016 🤷‍♀️

the screenshot does say "(e.g. transsexual vs cissexual)", even if not directly the focus

many such cases

I provided pretty undeniable evidence that she has not retracted the term. That's not a misrepresentation, it's a direct refutation of your initial claim - which you shifted afterwards.

You said that she retracted this *term*. You're shifting your claim from that now, and also haven't provided anything supporting.

It does say "(transsexual vs cissexual)". I don't have anything else other than in Outspoken (2016), but you haven't provided anything at all.

ok? bit of a pivot

The screenshot is Sep 2024
