We need to increase the number of gay people in the rat community. Everyone is either a woman or exclusively loves women.

@lostchimp69420 @jg_gmu @NathanpmYoung supposedly hard sciences like medicine have economics envy lol
English
@DaArabianThief @jamirations There are also ex-Mormons and ex-JWs
English
@jamirations My question is why only people who left Islam call themselves “ex Muslim”
I have never seen someone say they are “ ex Christian” or “ ex Jewish”

@blurdsy @ChazakielDoremi In Manichaeism, the material world was produced as a way to rescue divine sparks from the forces of darkness.

this comic changed the course of the internet’s relationship to gnosticism. probably the biggest development in gnostic studies since the discovery of the nag hammadi library itself

@KeyTryer > Lots of neoliberals are afraid of AI because they think it throws a wrench in the [free puppies for everyone] plan
English
@RokoMijic @bobo_circus The initial point of the thought experiment was to demonstrate that even a benevolent superintelligence would blackmail humans
English
the roko's basilisk guys are so funny bc they correctly intuit that our lives will be controlled by a psychotic, amoral algorithm that hates humanity but they think some nerd in SF is going to build it on his macbook. it was already built, in 1602, by the Dutch

@TimHenke9 @thiagovscoelho @NLRG_it Even when you have infinitesimals I don't think 0.999... is the notation for 1-epsilon
English
@thiagovscoelho @NLRG_it Well infinitesimals are quite common, actually
In analysis they became disfavoured in favour of Weierstrass, but in algebraic geometry they're very useful
We study the quotient k[x]/(x²), which gives us so-called "fat points", including tangent directions

@FeoUltima @KitKatisWeird7 you forgot the part where the allegory has to make sense in-universe
English
@KitKatisWeird7 it doesn’t fall apart at all if you actually treat it as allegory
queer people, people of colour, people with disabilities and more are all people who other privileged people fear proximity to
Rogue fits that
English
hate when people can’t engage with allegory
“yeah, conversion therapy should be accessible to those who want it”
Kamen20@Kamen2018
The mutant cure should be accessible to those that don't want to be mutants as 96% of the time your mutant ability is either looking like gollum or being a living nuclear reactor.

@LinkofSunshine to be fair they only occur in disconnected spaces

@cold_dweller and what's your source for that

@metachirality If you know anything or ever involved in AI, training is much more expensive in resources becuse it's BUILDING THE MODEL. While inference is just an ongoing process.
The only difference is that training is usually one-time task, while inference is continous.
English
This is really misleading once you consider that the most extensive part of AI is actually the training.

I could use AI every day of my life and it would still not be as ecologically damaging as a double decker cheeseburger
English
@ianpaulwright @FlannaGanna I agree that it should apply to nature but the abandonment of the initial motivation of dialectics led to a lack of clarity as to what it applies to and how it is applied, which is why I think Engels failed and why a Hegelian wouldn't have made the same mistakes.
English
@metachirality @FlannaGanna I don't think it's a total embarrassment at all. It's an attempt to popularise and materialise Hegel's philosophy of nature.
English
It's very clear to me, now, that Hegel's revolutionary method, explained in the Science of Logic, of beginning presuppositionlessly and deducing the absolutely necessary conditions of thought, is the only scientific method available to philosophy and has been unduly neglected.
English
@ianpaulwright @FlannaGanna one example of this is the total embarrassment that is Engels' Dialectics of Nature
English
@ianpaulwright @FlannaGanna My issue with Lenin and dialectical materialists in general is that they deny indirect realism and idealism which makes dialectics seem totally unmotivated and random
English
@BarbedBeggar If your reason for condemning AI is because of water-use you'd also have condemn stuff we had no issue with previously. So either you're anti-AI and vegan or pro-AI and omnivorous. Pick one.
English
Guys (vegans), you don't have to defend ai when people bring up water consumption. Two things can be bad at the same time. It's so easy to compare them without saying some parts of generative ai are fun or useful just use your brain please i beg of you
English
@lul_dupe @morallawwithin idk why is killing humans for meat immoral
English
@morallawwithin Can you name one objective reason why eating meat is immoral.
Cus I don’t think it’s wasteful to consume and animal and not waste the products they give you. Why am I objectively wrong.
English
There is no non-wasteful way to eat animals at scale, since it wastes an innocent being’s entire life
🔪🩸 Saturn the Vampire Slayer🩸🔪@satrns_nebula
Ppl have been eating meat since the dawn of time. Indigenous communities eat meat in a non wasteful way. Industry is the problem not the consumption itself this is a dumb take.
English
@junkyj64 @_glorianas you can't say ai is going to take all of our jobs and then also say that's totally useless
English
@junkyj64 @_glorianas > wtf does ai provide other than automating labor
English
that’s not most meat consumption, op 100% right, beef consumption is a hundred times more wasteful of water than data centres

English
@_AashishReddy Yeah my point is that this generally positively correlates with optimism about technology in general and libertarianism even though at a glance it seems like the opposite.
English
I think there is an element in Yudkowskian thought which does sort of inexorably lead one to be sceptical of technology (technological civilisation?) in general. As opposed to the usual view that AI is a unique exception. One sees hints of this in HPMOR and The Sequences.

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.
