@d_Arcub @JungeToerless But Wolff specifically is actually a good gotcha in this case, I must admit. You can't avoid him if you are in any way systematic and he is totally absent from vibe philosophy spaces

@JungeToerless literally 'oh you like philosophy? name every philosopher from any arbitrary era or subfield of a highly specialised & historicised field'
maybe this is why, as your posts lament, ppl don't like you?
why not ask question that involved actual thought instead of a namedrop?

Whenever I meet a man "into philosophy" I throw them a basic question like "do you know who Christian Wolff was" and when the answer is "no" every time...

Philosophy is as male-coded as Football. Across 4.1M listed interests on Keeper, men are 5x likelier to list Philosophy — tied with Gaming, Politics, and Football. The women's list starts at 9x (BTS, a South Korean boy band) and goes to 26x (Acrylic Nails).

@Meredicchio But this is a compliment if anything. 70s and 80s British TV (TTSS, House of Cards) is the Golden Age of television. Aping it is inspired

@miltonappl3 Jesus can fear pain. He can even feel despair (Father, why have you forsaken me?). But the fear of the cross can not be the underlying motive for His deeds. In this passage we see that the cowardice is at the bottom of all AK does. He does not fear to kill, he fears getting hurt

Ok I'll do this in tweet form.
The good: this is how the scientia of the humanities works. Shakespeare uses it to great effect
The bad: it likely caused Tolstoy to abandon the greatest depiction of Jesus in the Western Canon, *because* it was so good (Count Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin)

@Zorkych Не совсем. Дельта - американские, да. А среднелёты и дальнолёты из говна и палок они сами собирают, и операторы свои. Но там ценность не в самих модельках, а в ИИ, который через ПВО путь прокладывает. А он палантировский.

Кирилл Буданов недавно жаловался, что их не подпускают к технологиям
По факту, все дроны, которые летят в наши тылы — это американские и европейские разработки, которые и созданы тоже на заводах Европы и США. Операторы этих БПЛА тоже иностранные
Роль украинцев — месить окопы

Парадокс... Страна с огромными запасами нефти не может обеспечить граждан топливом. Нищий противник, побирающийся по всему миру, у которой нет нефти и газа, не испытывает никаких проблем со снабжением людей бензином и ДТ ? Это как ?

@tropicalcamatte Just on a personal level he makes an impression of a domineering fellow, a worst kind of "alpha", lover of put downs just for the sake of denigrating others. No wonder he struggled in monastery

@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel And your government will choose the side of the people and not the side of tech elite, are you sure? Ironically, tech elites are much more vulnerable in China (Jack Ma) and Russia (Durov) than in the USA

The "permanent undercluss" talk is funny to me, computers will radically transform society and destroy every job but we will never ever ever question the property rights of computer lords who own 95% of wealth

@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel I am talking about those in power (whoever they are) and the (im)possibility of armed uprising against them. That should be pretty clear from my first answer which uses the word annihilated. You use the word retard too much for someone unable to understand this

@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel Oh, you remind me of those Russian decision makers a year ago, who thought they were winning and should change nothing. Smart people told them even then about imminent AI drone revolution and the things it will change. Yes, killing people with cheap drones is very cost effective

@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel Palantir AI systems are already trail a path through Russian air defense. And what of Luddites? Well, they get killed
English
@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel Well, my own sphere (web dev) is already hugely transformed and squarely on its way to being completely "solved". I agree, the physical stuff will take longer. But look at war. Delta drones with computer vision already devastate Russian logistics.
English
@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel 1. Other drones and AI
2. Other robots and AI
3. No one. Look at birth rates and rural depopulation
4. This is good and common retort. Yes, it signals the end of capitalism as we know it. But with other much more devastating sociological changes, it is so hard to imagine?
English
@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel In all those sectors the role of humans is already diminishing and this diminishing will accelerate exponentially. Have you heard of agricultural drones revolution?
English
@CabelasCrusher @8EyedEel With AI they can do with their PS the same thing they do with everyone else - cut the majority of people involved But what really matters is not WHO rule (tech, security, politicians) but HOW MANY rule. The age of mass uprising is over. The opinion of the majority does not matter

Я уверен, что не первый задаюсь этом вопросом, но всё же: а что будет, если направить луч лазера в Палантир? Можно ли было бы так убить Саурона или на край Сарумана?
