If I put my tinfoil hat on, one of the reasons may be in the disclaimer:

>An investment fund associated with Sam Altman held a passive investment in Software Applications Incorporated

Maybe it's just as banal as "Sam paid himself a bit more money".

That conversation reads like two consultant LLMs talking past each other.

Sounds interesting, but voice input isn't working for me there. I guess I'm too niche with my Mac and Firefox setup.

Is there a law yet, such as "The more comments you read, the probability of mistaking a comment for AI-generated content approaches 1" or something?

Uh nice! I also have very reasonable explanations why it was Russia, the Ukrainians, the Chinese or Poland!

I can even go for some of the middle-eastern countries or the nefarious Danish! Should we like found a forum or something were we can trade things that come to our minds unasked?

>C_b = (T_s - T_v) * ROC * 1/52

I have so many problems with this line

Can't find anything from anthropic like that.

Do you have any sources for the extraordinary claim that "censorship is logically inconsistent in every moral framework"? Because without further arguments, this sounds very intellectually simple.

As has been pointed out: Give them perpetual funding according to the needs of the children, not pervert unrelated systems to provide an unstable income stream.

I'm reading it as social forces making certain topics unpublishable. In his words

>facts which the Soviet government would prefer to keep hidden, is next door to unprintable.

All topics mentioned so far as "censored" have enjoyed enough publication and even being successful political platforms.

What people here mistake as censorship is usually regurgitated bad arguments being unpopular

I've mentioned 3. I've lost 2 popularity points so far. Am I being censored?

I find COVID to be an especially bad example. the whole spectrum is represented in politics.

I've seen those posts here, I've read the arguments in the comments. What is censored then? Unpopularity or pushback isn't censorship

The discourse exists though, right? Here and elsewhere. Censorship isn't pushback, bad arguments aren't either

Are we pretending now, that even mentioning these "forbidden topics" will get you banned?

Here, I'll mention some for you: eugenics, Holocaust, incest.

So please, if I don't get censored for these, please tell me what these secret topics hidden from me are!

What would those topics be? I guess they are suppressed quite well, since none come to mind.

We can electrify the processes, make the power grid mostly green and require industrial processes to recycle most of its water. In fact the tech exists and the legislation exists and works.
