Probably not on your team.

I can confirm this.

@georgebsocial I can see something like Garry's Mod + AI. Haven't checked, but I'd be surprised if AI-enhanced MUSHes aren't a thing now. I think that, at least given the present state of AI, you want concrete limits that an AI can work inside, rather than something too freeform.

@ArtemisConsort Interpersonal racism, sure. Whatever.

Institutional racism is pretty evil. Destroys the social fabric. It was evil applied to non-whites, and is still evil applied to whites. My own country has contemptibly enshrined a form of neo-Marxist racism as an effective state religion.

In 2021, Canadian media and institutions basically hallucinated the discovery of 215 children’s bodies in a mass grave near a former Catholic residential school. The evidence: radar saw soil disturbances that could have been tree roots. A wave of church arsons ensued.

People making the case for censorship often urge that destructive manias like this can be suppressed/soothed if we prevent people from communicating about them. And here was a perfect case: false information was being recklessly (or maliciously) amplified, leading to literal hate crimes. Shouldn’t the censors do something?

But the mass-grave craze infected the censorship class, so opposition got targeted instead. At least one “disinformation” NGO categorized skepticism as “hate speech,” and Canada even saw efforts to criminalize so-called “denialism” (drawing an absurd comparison to the Holocaust).

Good for the Globe and Mail to come clean.

@GarrettPetersen They are, but the combination is sadly not compatible with stopping civilizational collapse.

@jonatanpallesen tbf, if either of those directors had control over the entire sequel trilogy, the result still would have been bad. Just not quite as disastrously so.

Both were disasters, although Rian was at least defensible absent benefit of hindsight. JJ's hackery was already in plain sight.

@RockChartrand @mcsquared34 It isn't $35,000/Yr in the US either, except for government writing blank checks via student loans, with the downstream college sport crony capitalism & Marxist "long march through the institutions" transformation into ideological factories / overstaffed patronage networks.

@elonmusk @JaimeVelo @TheAliceSmith Except when a judiciary has been captured and subverted by neomarxists, tribal juries once again become the less bad option. Juries are at least stochastic.

Without having taken one, so take with a grain of salt, I'm pretty sure I'm one of the people who would score very high on most IQ tests (possibly 145+), but in reality I feel 135 is more like my absolute ceiling, and I'm possibly a fair bit lower than that.

I'm good at the sort of puzzles IQ tests use. I'm good with computer science concepts like XOR. I'm good at shape rotation. I'm good at metaphysics, and abstraction, and introspection, and thinking deeply on topics.

But, in general life, I'm just not able to solve complex intellectual problems at anywhere near the level I would expect for a true 145+. I'm not talking quantum mechanics or string theory. Concepts several tiers below that still require real work and effort to even wrap my head around.

[Jeff Graw @JeffGraw]

It's the same causal theory. Equally retarded and illiberal in both cases. People should be responsible for their actions, not the actions of others.

Which isn't to say wielding a state-sanction turns a judge who pathologically releases repeat violent offenders for ideological reasons a better person than an arms dealer. Both are contemptible.
