@LoveKirins @Nemtastic1 @SwannMarcus89 I am sorry you are such a cynic.

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@hypergameme I'm slow maybe... but do you mean they'll use what is learned to train a model to obscure something is an AI creation?

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@Nemtastic1 @LoveKirins @SwannMarcus89 Dude, I agree with men more on average, but that's no excuse to take away the right to vote from half the population (or to never have given it). Convince people, don't take evil shortcuts.

@JamesRaxz He is a terrible candidate for President. Can't believe so many Dems support him, complete echo chamber mindlessness.

@AliceFromQueens I just did a deep dive with Claude on this. Lots of nuance, but there is not sufficient evidence to indict put bulls as a breed. What does surely matter - owner type (selection bias!) and physical ability to damage humans. Lots of misidentification too, downstream of reputation.

I got out of the Navy because there was a divorce and custody fight coming, and with an invasion going on it wasn't going to be a good time to try and get custody.

I basically lost everything, and my ex-wife spent the next decade making sure that I didn't get to see my kid. Constant address changes, moving across state lines, all of it.

I didn't give up. I hired detectives. Lawyers. Kept fighting.

It took 11 years to get temporary custody of a kid who had changed schools 9 times in the past 3 years, and had no grade higher than a D, and another year to get permanent sole custody.

The first few weeks were difficult, getting him to do homework. I had to sit there with him, helping with each math problem and essay. There was a lot of frustration on both sides.

That first quarter living with me, though, he had 1 C and the rest of his grades were As and Bs. Every quarter after that through the rest of junior high and high school, he made honor roll. He joined Sea Cadets. Played football. He learned how to absolutely shred guitar. He enlisted right out of high school, and made E6 in 5 years.

I'm damned proud of that kid, and glad I didn't give up on him. The lawyers and PIs were some of the best money I've ever spent and absolutely worth it.

Anyway, this picture sums it all up for me. The first bit was from a court filing by his mother and grandmother. The second part, well... that's pretty obvious.

This was the biggest fight and the biggest W of my life, and completely worth it.

@hecubian_devil I think the fundamental disconnect here is that you wants politics to solve man's search for meaning and I want politics to deliver a prosperous, safe, free society in which everyone can go find meaning in something other than politics.

@Noahpinion Examples: South Korea and Taiwan both leaked elite capital (and people) to the US throughout their miracle decades. Hong Kong pre-1997 was extraordinarily prosperous and hemorrhaging both capital (and people) to Vancouver and Sydney.

@StoryLovinEllen Wait. I meant that anyone coming to agree with a new point of view is not how X is supposed to work. It was supposed to be a joke about how X convos usually go. I genuinely enjoyed the conversation and learned new things prompted by your posts. Why did you think I am angered?

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@StoryLovinEllen @dmdebruijn This is not how X is supposed to work. Haha! Good convo.

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@StoryLovinEllen @dmdebruijn PS - I'm a Bohmian, good luck out there.

[Lomez @L0m3z]

Probably my mostly deeply held liberal view is that America is uniquely successful at creating upward mobility and vasts sums of wealth and opportunity for people who otherwise would be limited by inequalities that have nothing to do with personal merit, and that our system of higher-ed was one of the main engines for this world historical triumph of personal advancement, perhaps *the* shining example of our civilizational might, and that it is among our greatest shames and most tragic failures that we have allowed the institution to kill itself on the alter of the most stupid and trivial political hysterias, one after the other, decade after decade, with no end in sight and no strategy or plan at all for how to fix it.

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@StoryLovinEllen @dmdebruijn The passage quoted says "measured," not "observed by a consciousness." Copenhagen locates collapse in the interaction with a macroscopic apparatus, not in the awareness of it. Consciousness-causes-collapse is von Neumann–Wigner, a minority interpretation Wigner later rejected.

@structuralecon @robbysoave I do fear for the future of some of these disciplines due to AI. However, as of now, those folks are still doing quite well in aggregate. Software engineering job openings are up quite a bit! Our BIS grads are doing great. Curious what evidence you have to support your point.

@p1huycke @timgill924 Race-based affirmative action (I'd prefer a hardship index)
Race-based resources (we have counselors, advisors, and funded clubs based on race)
Safety-ism (we give mental health warnings for mundane comms - e.g., a bike was stolen)
Effort-based grading.
To name a few...

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@StoryLovinEllen @dmdebruijn This is one interpretation a minority of physicists believe. Most hold the Copenhagen Interpretation, which is inconsistent with that.

[Unluckey Palmer @AndurilFan]

@LieutenantRusty Interesting concept here! That Miguel guy is cringe for sure. I guess maybe I like the spirit of McCarthy-ism, but I am a Constitution guy, and my understanding of McCarthy's work is that it was quite inconsistent with Constitutional rights.

@timgill924 My "day job" is as a faculty member at an R1. I am center left in today's America and still find it a very a tough fit. You being blind to the group think, hostility, and entitlement of the self-appointed moral heroes that are the overwhelmingly leftist faculty is galling.
