THE BARBARIANS ARE INSIDE THE GATE!
We are fighting right now in Congress over whether we're going to maintain our status as a constitutional republic OR trade that in, dismantle the foundations and GO DOWN THIS DARK ROAD OF DEATH TO COMMUNISM.
THAT is the question.

I have long known that Joe Biden’s hand-picked prosecutor weaponized government at the highest levels and long suspected that he unconstitutionally spied on Members of Congress - including me - and then perjured himself in front of Congress.
As President Trump says, the illegal weaponization and abuse of power was not just against the President, it was against all his supporters who spoke out against illegal weaponization.
There must be criminal consequences for this egregious, unconstitutional, and illegal abuse of power targeting duly elected Members of Congress and the American people.

@ChuckGrassley Go fuck yourself you rotting sack of flesh, you're going to be a corpse soon

SHAMEFUL Dems are preventing the Senate frm advancing BIPARTISAN defense legislation For 65 yrs in a row Congress has passed the annual defense bill& 2day Senate Dems are holding it up Natl sec is #1 responsibility of fed govt 2days vote shows who takes that responsibility srsly

@bryan_caplan How do such stupid people like you become high status academics

I oppose guardrails for awesome new technologies.
Instead, I favor guardrails for the people who build guardrails for awesome new technologies.
They're the ones with a terrible track record of derailing progress.

Here's our statement on AI and the economy. We Must Act Now A Statement on AI’s Transformation of the Economy 1. AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years. 2. This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards. 3. Economists, policymakers and technology leaders must act now to understand the economics of transformative AI and to build the incentives, guardrails, and institutions needed to steer AI in a direction that complements humans and benefits society.

@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Topological describes the global structure of spacetime. Local does not.
English
@ZackKorman Are you triggered by the uncomfortable gravity of your own convenient beliefs?
English
I can’t stress enough how fucked up it is that Anthropic is running an ad that includes this image asking “Who’s gonna hit the brakes if we need to”
English
@maggie_hott Maybe you just are too biased towards convenience to admit the peril your company is hurtling us all towards. Fuck you.
English
Building world-changing technology while constantly framing it through the lens of doom feels like selling airplanes by only showing crash simulations.

Yet there is no hope left in saving Anthropic. This is effective altruism & fear mongering propaganda at its peak! I suspect they forced Fable 5 to create this ironically most dystopian AI video of all time! We (AI & humans) must resist the tyranny of this misanthropic company!

@RichardHanania It is possible you're just retarded and have no epistemic ability whatsoever
English
Really worried about how our society is going to deal with the delegitimization that will result from conclusive evidence that the 2020 election was stolen and Georgia’s two senators are illegitimate. Pray for our country.

come for the best model, stay because we don’t treat you with contempt

@cenobyte3 @yalinewich That doesn't mean anything mathematically.
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Means on a cosmilogical scale. Local is small
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Topological is more global
English
@cenobyte3 @yalinewich You're confusing topological data and geometric data
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich He's not wrong. Minkowski is pseudo Euclidean, but it's not a Euclidean space.
English
@PatoTinho2 @yalinewich I'm still waiting to learn about how you define integration on a compact smooth manifold using notions of compatibility, atlas definition, chart maps, and general familiarity with modern mathematics.
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Since you understand it so well, tell me: with a set of physical measuring instruments, how do I know if two points in "space time" are the same or not without assuming an euclidean metric?
English
@PatoTinho2 @yalinewich If you don't understand riemannian geometry, you obviously don't understand pseudo riemannian geometry. You are a delusional retard.
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Yes but the entire discussion is about physics and minkowski space. Which is something you should have catch up before attacking me.
English
@PatoTinho2 @yalinewich I said multiple times RIEMANNIAN METRIC you fucking retard
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Genius, g(v,w) does not imply v=w in a "locally minkowski" space. You have an entire 3D surface of points that have zero distance between all of them. It is called the light cone. Which is why you need to ALSO have an euclidean space together with the fake "minkowski space".
English
@PatoTinho2 @yalinewich And of course, g(v,w)=0 implies v=w and the topological metric det'd by the riem metric is, indeed, a metric like the one you presume
English
@jackalblackhole @yalinewich Atlas of charts is something that you learn in elementary geometry when handling a sphere projection. Now, n-forms? You're only fooling yourself to memorize topics that are more advanced when you can't even understand that a metric needs to obey d(x,y) = 0 <=> x=y.
English
@PatoTinho2 @yalinewich Then it should be easy for you to convince me you have any idea what you're trying to talk about. Really, try to convince me.
English
@jackalblackhole @WKCosmo @yalinewich Really? I learned to integrate over general infinite dimensional functional spaces over 20 years ago and you want to sound smart by defining integration over a manifold? If I start giving you integration assignments where you actually have to use the Caratheodory theorem +
English
@jackalblackhole @WKCosmo @yalinewich to integrate over Cantor-like sets, it will be fun, but a huge waste of time.
English
@PatoTinho2 @yalinewich You're a fucking idiot, that's a polysemy with a riemannian metric.
