I'll make another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yes, naturally, almost every post I make on my throwaways is something political, in response to existing political comments or submissions, which are evidently allowed.

using throwaways to protect oneself from the terminally online crowd is pretty much a necessity in the current year, unless your values and opinions are firmly in the middle of the Overton window. and even then, there are many opinions that were universally okay 15 years ago can be used against you now. I've seen it happen time and time again.

The heresy of heresies was common sense.

>Naw his list included a lot of valid science. There was no apparent rhyme or reason to the parts of the list was known.

it did, yes, but it shows how many people were getting paid obscene amounts of money to 'research' equitable math* and such.

* yes, seriously. people get paid to call math racist. https://equitablemath.org/

I was trying to say that people whose values don't fit in the Overton window keep their opinions to themselves. In China, it's contempt for the CCP, in Russia, it's contempt for Putin, and in the US, it's contempt for DEI/ESG/etc.

in all three countries, dissent is an informal crime.

123yawaworht456 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 11:34:34 +0000

the idea that we're having a discourse at all is delusion. the sheer volume of capital behind this tech is enough to roll over all the feeble cries of impotent rage.

>There’s no clear answer on whether open-source AI is good or bad for society. Sure, it addresses a growing concentration of power among Silicon Valley companies; but as free models become more capable, giving them away raises the risks of misuse. Chinese military researchers have used Llama to build their own intelligence tool called ChatBIT, for instance, using it to gather data and make operational decisions. Researchers also created a “BadLlama” model with no safety features, something they wouldn’t have been able to do with closed systems like ChatGPT.

was this paragraph written in 2023? that genie is not going back into the bottle. China has the tech, the talent, and the compute.

I assume he tried, but both sides are determined to keep fighting until they run out of men ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my point is, calling the current administration incompetent when the other one hadn't achieved anything either is absurd.

>In one Discord exchange, members of the group insisted on using Discord handles composed of symbols rather than alphanumeric characters. When moderators objected, the group accused them of transphobia. “They’re like, ‘You are forcing us into legibility, and trans people are illegible, and this is an important expression of my identity,’” said Brennan, who is trans nonbinary. This view dovetailed with their belief that transgender women have a distinct neurotype that is particularly good at A.I. safety research, according to Brennan.

well, he isn't wrong.
