@luke_metro I don't disagree but realistically you're in a very small minority of people if you think totally bypassing workers with AI does not qualify as a form of worker oppression.
English
The “billionaires make their money by oppressing workers” angle does feel outdated in 2026 where lots of extreme wealth concentration is now from either financial speculation or bypassing workers entirely with AI

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars. Ilana Glazer: That's right. AOC: You just can't earn that. Glazer: That's exactly correct. AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. Glazer: Yup. AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth. Glazer: Yup. AOC: But you can't earn that, right? Glazer: That's right. AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.

@HattsworthIsYou @Guardsman_Miku I agree that it only correlates, but "advancement" is a vague concept so as usual its just one of those cases where its the least worst metric to use out of a bunch of much worse and hazier metrics and definitions. Its fine to use kardeshev to describe advancement.
English
@phrygiandomina @Guardsman_Miku An advanced but small or diffuse civilization wouldn't be visible like a k3.
A realistic k2 is more visible than a galaxy spanning empire in most scifi.
It measures energy consumption, not tech level. These correlate but are different.
English
@HattsworthIsYou @Guardsman_Miku Brother thats still a measure of advancement.
English
@Guardsman_Miku For the record he's also complete wrong about what it's for. It doesn't measure "how advanced" they are.
It's a measure of how easily detectable they should be with basic astronomy by how much power their civilization uses.

@qualiaenjoyer @Confusionist @47fucb4r8c69323 @liron If you believe ASI is more dangerous than a nuclear holocaust, then I completely understand why you would believe we should use nuclear weapons to stop ASI. But if that is your view, I don't think you should get to pretend like you're a non-violent pacifist like yud does.
English
@Confusionist @phrygiandomina @47fucb4r8c69323 @liron You're talking to an NPC. "Nuclear weapons bad", is the thought that generated all that text. "What could be worse than a nuclear exchange?" wasn't a thought that ever entered his mind.

In this clip, @47fucb4r8c69323 explains the 4D chess of paying Eliezer $10,000 to debate him:
English
@Confusionist @47fucb4r8c69323 @liron To be clear, I understand that Yud doesn't want to start a nuclear war for no reason, but he is still clearly saying that we should provoke "nuclear exchange" on the incredibly broad reasoning that it would "reduce to the risk of large training runs." THESE ARE HIS EXACT WORDS
English
@Confusionist @47fucb4r8c69323 @liron "He just wants to set up a treaty where we nuke datacenters and risk triggering nuclear war, how is that 'provoking' nuclear war?" Seriously dude? What am I even supposed to say here? Because it seems like we both understand what is being said here.
English
@Confusionist @47fucb4r8c69323 @liron He said verbatim in an op ed that we should be "willing to run some risk of nuclear exchange" to stop AI. I asked him to clarify and he said he wasn't advocating for a nuclear first strike, just conventional strikes that could set off a nuclear war. So how am I misinterpreting?
English
@phrygiandomina @47fucb4r8c69323 @liron "saying we should provoke a nuclear war to stop AI"
Not sure which quote you're thinking of, but for all those I know of this is just wilful misinterpretation.

English
@47fucb4r8c69323 @liron Man idk its not like anything really happened here. I agree that yud says fucked stuff (like saying we should provoke a nuclear war to stop AI), but it looks like you paid 10k to yell at yud for a bit and that money is just going to go straight to advertising his next book.
English
@phrygiandomina @liron got the price of this debate wrong
got the outfit wrong
Yud gets a lot wrong doesn't he

@morallawwithin And The Prince was just him trying to get into a cushy policy director position at a florence ngo. There isn't even a word to describe how cynical and power hungry this guy was.

i don’t get why people are so into Machiavelli? It’s pretty clear that many of the behaviors he recommends are morally impermissible
English
@mkwitzke @daniel_271828 Technically true right now, but neither side is really regulating to the extent that its substantially slowing things down. Its at least imaginable that China could maintain its relatively light touch regulation while the US voter base goes butlerian jihad.
English
“If the U.S. regulates AI, our AI industry will lose the race to China”
That loser premise makes no sense to me
