@halcyon_hazel @usrbinr I'm reasonably sure creating media that objectifies women is basically the same thing as expressing a disagreeable political view

@TurquoiseCthrne I respect annie's self ID! I've argued that you have no good reason to doubt that masking is still a good idea! and this doesn't buy me a toe into green? I simply must make myself understood

@crowlooksatyou look as much as I appreciate your composure, I think at that point it's reasonable to not be normal about it. it's an objectively unusual scenario

I once spent five entire minutes trying to estimate which number was bigger and found that infinite slop was more valuable than art-as-a-job. ofc I'm not particularly advantaged at estimating, but idk any better estimates to defer to. post better estimates to defer to below!

those looms were also described by the artisans they replaced as cutting corners and depriving people of dignity, skill, and craft And it was true! It was true of nearly all early automation technologies: worse quality, de-skilled labor, loss of identity & meaning for workers

It's only morality if it's moral realism; otherwise it's just sparkling game theory

I store the phrase 'ACX Everywhere' right next to 'Majima Everywhere' for what are, presumably, adaptive reasons

@SYNESTHEIZURE I think it is true about humans that doing X while more attractive is often experienced by onlookers as less obnoxious than doing X while less attractive what I mean to say is I'm not sure they're strictly wrong on the second count

People make fun of Chris Chan and MLP then turn around and call themselves angel girls or mech pilots like that's somehow less delusional or obnoxious

@HuxleyDick @Marbutworsenow if moral realism were true, we could rest easy knowing that anything sufficiently smart would learn about goal independent reasons for being 'good'. so building ASI would be safe. but error theory is true, so building ASI is more likely to destroy everything I care about

@HuxleyDick @Marbutworsenow the alignment problem is the problem of making AIs robustly share our values, so they don't destroy everything we value in the persuit of things we don't care about when we no longer are in control (because we hooked them up to nanofactories they designed or sth)
