@ettingermentum "utilitarians must like Bush because pepfar cancels out Iraq" is myopic. The bare minimum utilitarian life-saving from a US president is maybe three pepfars and zero wars

Question: will George W. Bush go to utilitarian heaven for PEPFAR

@dontfallforem @grochbegley "If someone kills you in a car, they go to jail" no they don't
English
@grochbegley I like Waymo but it’s still in the subsidized VC phase. As soon as we get used to robotic car deaths, it’ll be about optimizing their death/profit ratio
If someone kills you in a car, they go to jail. Who goes to jail if a Waymo kills someone? The CEO? The programmer? The car?
English
None of my lefty friends like me for this but I am personally pro-Waymo. Driving is incredibly dangerous. We now have many studies that show Waymo’s are genuinely less dangerous. Ride share drivers’ jobs are not more important than saving lives.

Cool project: the DC Waymo delay dashboard tracks how many DC residents are dead because the mayor and city council keep demanding studies instead of allowing Waymo: tbhochman.github.io/dc-waymo-dashb…

It looks to me like telegrams were the optimal level of social communication technology, and society began to disintegrate after voice radio was invented, though not to the same extent as it began to collapse after television.

@are_glib @ettingermentum Not defending him but that was over 5 years ago. Won't matter much then
English
Pritzker being seemingly totally unable to his high profile conflicts with Trump into a Newsom-esque surge is pretty damning for him and unfortunately makes Gavin look all the more impressive. Walz flopping and then this makes him really stand out.

Now is a good time to remember that Dick Cheney's post 9/11 wars killed (conservatively) 4.5 million people and displaced over 38 million more, according to a study by Brown University.

it's low-status to have ethical concerns in silicon valley. people give you a buzzkilling glare. gambling for kids? they love it, check out our revenue. finetuning chatgpt to maximize conversation length? what, do you hate innovation? investing in directly competing companies? cmon man we're saving humanity here and im the main character

@ettingermentum agreed that Dems in particular have fucked this up badly but is there a lower favorability ceiling now due to polarization?
English
The one statistic that’s influenced my thinking the most over the past few years was the fact that Gallup polling always found major party candidates—including those who lost in landslides—to have positive personal favorability ratings. It is only since 2016 that parties have regularly run outright unpopular candidates for president.

@GladysDaycare @shaabiranks impossible to participate in society without working for Blackwater
English
Okay let’s try a thought experiment. Think about what *you* knew about Blackwater in 2018. Now imagine what a 33 year old who had already served two tours in Iraq knew about Blackwater in 2018. Is this persuasive to you? This is who you want to put in Congress?

Make of it what you will, but Platner quit within a year, and has since described the experience as radicalizing

Meta is by far my least favorite big tech company and it’s precisely because they’re willing to ship awful, dystopian stuff like this
No inspiring vision, just endless slop and a desire to “win”

Oh man, this is nasty. Is this AI “Step Mom” what Zuck meant by “personal superintelligence”?

@ettingermentum you think he loses ST if the media narrative is that he won IA-NH-NV (i.e. actual reality)? I'm kind of ambivalent
English
Does him winning three early contests in a row before wiping out on Super Tuesday only make his loss that much more humiliating? Yes. But he won the most votes.

There's a cultural prohibition on speaking ill of the dead, but I don't believe that should apply to public figures whose death fosters political consequences they could have otherwise avoided. Gerry Connolly was a selfish and corrupt man, and he died like he lived.
