Using the term 'microaggression' is a microaggression against the most oppressed minority: rich, thin-skinned white boys.

Dude, if you need people to spell it out because you have zero object permanence: don't post Israeli or Zionist media about Hamas atrocities with dubious evidence. After Oct 7th the Zionist propaganda machine has been spinning in full force finding every fact, exaggeration, and fabrication they can to justify their brutal genocide of Palestinians. You don't remember all the Western news outlets promoting the lie that there was mass sexual assault of Israeli women, which the UN proved to be false? You remember Joe Biden saying he saw pictures of 40 beheaded babies which turned out to be a complete fabrication?

If there's a source that is credible and hasn't published Hasbara before, then maybe we could take it seriously, but if your sources are the BBC, AP, then 2 sources that are based inside of the Zionist entity then GTFO and go back to reddit-logo

I'm from a similar context, I don't consume Mexican media anymore but I grew up watching el Chavo del Ocho. Also had Mexican friends and teachers growing up.

Maybe in Spain and Argentina? Everywhere else, ustedes is the default. The formal vs informal distinction is only for the singular tú vs usted (and tuteo is getting more and more common over time so tú is also becoming the default).

Nice to meet one of my fans. Truly, it was an honor to make the other 9.

Liberalism is itself not practical (liberal ideology taken to the rational extreme of practicality and efficiency is just fascism) so the trick is to become selectively aware of the fact your worldview means nothing can ever change when people want to change something you like. I mean, seriously, apply her thought process to any political issue.

Trans rights in 2005? Oh, sorry, it's hopelessly impractical and because most women don't support trans rights we'd just be alienating them; we need to be practical and compromise with the transphobes so we can get things done.

Climate change? Degrowth and net zero is not a practical path, it's simply never gonna happen. Most car owners don't support mass transit so these utopian urbanist ideas are just shrinking the coalition. The left has once again chosen a doomed cause.

Socialism? Worker ownership of the means of production isn't realistic. Most shareholders and landlords just don't support taking their property away. The left needs to let go of these tangential issues that have no future.

universe is missing the point of fiction media!" then they'll turn around and mock visionary shows like NCIS for scenes in which the detectives enhance the resolution of an image. Oh, computers can't just do that? Who cares! Lock in! The point is not that the story makes internal sense, it's what the story communicates!

Prompted by the recent troll post, I've been thinking about AI. Obviously we have our criticisms of both the AI hype manchildren and the AI doom manchildren (see title of the post. This is a Rationalist free post. Looking for it? Leave)

But looking at the AI doom guys with an open mind, sometimes it appear that they make a halfway decent argument that's backed up by real results. This YouTube channel has been talking about the alignment problem for a while, and I think he probably is a bit of a Goodhart's Law merchant (as in, by making a career out of measuring the dangers of AI, his alarmism is structural) so he should be taken with a grain of salt, it does feel pretty concerning that LLMs show inner misalignment and are masking their intentions (to anthropomorphize) under training vs deployment.

Now, I mainly think that these people are just extrapolating out all the problems with dumb LLMs and saying "yeah but if they were AGI it would become a real problem" and while that might be true if taking the premise at face value, the idea that AGI will ever happen is itself pretty questionable. The channel I linked has a video arguing that AGI safety is not a Pascal's mugging, but I'm not convinced.

Thoughts? Does the commercialization of dumb AI make it a threat on a similar scale to hypothetical AGI? Is this all just a huge waste of time to think about?
