Nothing like attending a rally at Kurt’s Krazy Karts!

That’ll look good in my portfolio next to my biotech startup with a personal touch YouGenics

tired: lab grown meat

wired: worm filet mignon

hired: eat the rich

Normal person: you should not be attracted to the mind or body of anyone under the age of consent, nor should you invent thought experiments to find loopholes.

Yud: i live to groom

“remarkably well” as long as the remark is “this is still garbage!”

When [musk’s new] supercomputer gets to full capacity, the local utility says it’s going to need a million gallons of water per day and 150 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 100,000 homes per year.

As someone who has recently been spending a lot of time rolling my own USB devices, this would require logitech to form a gang and throw out the current USB standards and completely vertically integrate for this idea to not be an abject failure. I guess it could happen! But yeah in terms of who gets to rule over our inevitable cyberpunk dystopia, I just don’t think it’ll be Logitech. Unless they pivot to bionics.

*edit: am now thinking Logitech will definitely pivot to bionic limbs and you’ll have to configure them with logitech options, ugh

lmao. Literally the only thing that had any truth or wit to it was plagiarised

Given the all-consuming desire of Silicon Valley to accelerate us into a mad max style dystopia, the most foreshadowing thing about SF has gotta be all the (human) poop on the sidewalk.

Epistemic status: I have made it through this swamp. I did not read the footnotes. I glossed over the comments. Also as far as I can tell I am a cishet male, which is probably relevant to mention in reviewing this.

So here is where I am at. This post fractal sucks. Davis clearly doesn’t identify with the gender essentialist notion of male, but they also want to hold onto the idea of a biological sex binary. It sucks. I don’t think this is a unique situation- there are plenty of stories about trans kids in conservative/religious households. This particular conservative religion is the robot cult. The oppressive parents are the ghost of 2007!Yud and Scoot.

Reasoning about future AIs is hard

“so let’s just theorycraft eugenics instead” is like 50% of rationalism.
