It’s true. They’re hated because they’re winning ultra hard and don’t compromise at all on ideology

Imagine pulling up the ladder behind you on literal dwarves, society’s foremost ladder-needers
Percy@percyishim
Peter Dinklage reveals why he pushed for fewer dwarf character roles despite costing little people jobs. “I just wanted to not be a fantasy dwarf. I wanted to have a dick” “When clinically, what you are has become sort of poached by the fantasy world as a term for somebody who’s not human like a gnome, fairy, pixie, elf” “When you play that you’re clipping your balls and I was like … I can’t be clipped guys” “And they do that with nationalities and many more. We gotta be careful”

Pubs deserve our backing. I’m not sure some of @JohnHealey_MP's choices here do though... Our 20% cut in business rates will benefit thousands of pubs, clubs and music venues across the country.

@taimurabdaal Cameron slightly too sausagey. Like his grandfather was a great statesmen but the lineage softened by eating too much pudding

Plastic surgery makes you look better so you should do it. Just do 75% less than planned at each treatment
FischerKing@FischerKing64
Just don’t have plastic surgery because people can tell. It’s gross. Take your wrinkles. Accept aging. That is dignified.

The army has a live advertising campaign likening tactical military formations to positional formations in football. 'war isn't a game' reads as knee jerk hate. Videos like this will increase sign ups. The right endlessly fragments through trait disagreeableness of this sort. The negativity puts normies off - let people be happy

@ThickheadFinds I’m just telling you what I think.
All those people who say ‘football is the modern bread and circuses to distract you from the real problems’ are then attacking me for being consistent on it.
Go ahead, enjoy your sportsball. Not for me.
English
Cringe, gay, and disrespectful.
War is not a game.
Watching your best friend get his brains blown over the mountainside is not akin to taking a dive on the pitch and being paid 400 grand a week for it.
Not sorry, will never worship the sportsball kickers.

This is what I call modern art. None of that leftist nonsense. More power to the meme makers. Great work @CrewkerneGaz

@BillTheKid1603 Yeah it's good that the UK gets the scrutiny though. It shows people think the UK has potential - that it should be doing better. People don't criticise Germany because it's where it should be
English
The Germans can have less than 1% GDP growth for a decade and still evade a fraction of scrutiny the UK gets

Again, this is completely right. Right wing silicon valley circles are TREMBLING with status anxiety. Anthropic is usurping tech social hierarchies that formed over the last 15 years. People think AI and tech spheres are the same because they are co-located in the valley so underestimate competition between them.
NY finance -> SF tech -> SF AI are equivalently large transitions
DRYDEN@drydenwtbrown
If you are tech-right, you are consciously or subconsciously demoralized by the fact that EAs have been right over and over and over again, and so you have a strong bias to believe 1) AI performance is overstated, 2) even if AI works, this time won't be different economically i.e. AI will not take jobs, 3) the political economy of 2) is not worth thinking about. So no one on the right has a vision for the future in which we get ASI and it radically concentrates power, demanding some formula based on human values to allocate resources. I want to live in a future oriented around glory, heroism, and beauty. EAs want to live in a world of technocratic galactic equitism. If you agree with me, you should start taking AI and EA predictions around it very seriously.

As a general rule, biologists are retarded
Elliot Roth || SF@ThatMrE
Biologists are exceptionally high-skill and exceptionally underpaid. The biggest risk for zero-day exploits in bio are disgruntled PhDs. If you want to contribute to biosecurity, the best thing to do is to pay post-docs more.
English
Yeah this was my take. It’s completely normal to overrepresent your product’s impact. Literally every salesperson does this
DRYDEN@drydenwtbrown
Brutal comms setup, everyone wants you to fail and grave dance if you're Gates' kid. I think it's pretty likely there is a totally innocuous explanation for this, and that it wasn't intentional fraud.

@nonregemesse But you can literally see “paid promotion” under TRIH tweet
English
@ThickheadFinds It’s an issue to spend two days defending the film without telling anyone he had been paid to promote it
English
So it looks like Tom Holland is being paid via his podcast to push the Odyssey film while he is praising and defending it on his personal account without the paid promotion labels that appear on the podcast page.

It’s rumoured that Sam Altman met the many dimensioned demon and swiftly killed it
The Golden One@TheGloriousLion
Since I talked about it in the latest podcast episode, I might share my thoughts here as well: Do not use drugs. Do not use psychedelics. There are a select few men who can use them, but in the overwhelming majority of cases, it is best to steer well clear of mind-altering drugs. If you open up a portal to where demons (to use a most poetic term) exist you must be strong enough to resist any potential malicious influences from those realms – lest you get “one-shotted by an Ayahuasca demon” (to paraphrase a famous Landshark quote.

I’m drawn to an overcast like a cat to a cardboard box. A sensory isolation chamber that makes you feel safe. The weather most conducive to long ponderous walks. Clear sunny skies will kill you

What’s great about SF is that you walk out of a bar in the summer and the wind is blowing 20 knots, the sky is grey, it’s bone-chilling cold and the seagulls are squawking and you feel like you’re on the deck of a ship rounding Cape Horn while walking home.

No one informed me that the coolest looking movie ever made is a dramatization of a 1,000 year old epic poem from Kyrgyzstan. The Universe of Manas (1995), Melis Ubekyev
