@alienghic@timeloop.cafe I wanted to say "killing people directly" but was out of characters. Gotta find a better instance. To many people (sounds arrogant but the average person isn't very smart) there's a huge diff between lining people up next to a wall and shooting them vs putting them into a camp and killing them via malnutrition and disease. > ICE straight up shot people on camera Yup, and I hope the people responsible will be shot in return, though I have little ho...

@alienghic@timeloop.cafe No doubt but they're outliers. Issues with this phrasing: 1) you're using an extreme example to characterize a group, it distorts the discussion 2) people will believe you if they already want to but the average person will see a conspiracy theorist and ignore you. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and repeating that evidence for every new person who hears about it. Actually killing people is outside the majority's Overton window (for no...

Their goal is to have fun, which to them is competing with other rich and anti-social people who has a bigger number in his bank account. The real issue is constantly letting anti-socials into positions of power instead of democratizing everything - not just governments but companies too - and with direct democracy, n...

Up until 2 weeks ago I believed that opting out of using my data for training would protect it. I no longer do. Everyone knows that fines paid by companies are considered simply a cost of doing business. A probabilistic tax. It finally dawned on me that since they need more and more data, at some point the value of using my data for training will exceed the cost of getting caught using it without/against my consent. There&#39;s no escape unless we change the law. #LLM #capitalism #LaborT...

&quot;This is of course a general principle when somebody is taunting you. It means they want you to fight, which means they expect to benefit from you trying.&quot; https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/5CfBDiQNg9upfipWk/only-law-can-prevent-extinction This is of course a simplification. Violence has 3 dimensions - legality, morality and practicality - which are independent. Eliezer concluded that at this time individual small-scale violence is counterproductive so he appeals to legality an...

Trickle down? Fuck trickle down. I don&#39;t want pennies which fall out of a billionaire&#39;s pocket and which are beneath him to pick up. I want the full transitive value of my work so I can democratically split it with my coworkers. Y&#39;know, the people doing actual work and contributing value. And if we decide we need a shared assistant (&quot;manager&quot;), we&#39;ll hire him and negotiate his reward collectively. #LaborTheft #capitalism #EatTheRich #coop #l...
