I'm sorry, but I really don't get the tolerance on the left for a couple where the man dresses like a fashionable normie and the woman dresses like she's a plural wife in an off-the-grid cult. This would raise pointed questions about the man's personal and religious misogyny if they were Catholic or Mormon or even Orthodox Jews, and we all know it.
This is incredibly bad news. Abdul El-Sayed wants to pause AI, while at the same time, almost every AI data center is being blocked by local communities. Folks fail to realize just how transformative AI is for humanity. It’s a shame.
@romlib_ "let's stick to the stone age for all eternity" will absolutely be what we get if we keep electing these kinds of people. We'll just become the next europe and china will keep innovating and the future will belong to them.
@itssasm@romlib_ If there really stops being enough jobs for people to stay afloat in this economy, then politicians should look for ways of redistributing that wealth, not stopping it from being created in the first place.
@itssasm@romlib_ I would welcome that future. Why should we prevent automation from doing jobs better, faster, and cheaper than humans ever could? This has always coincided with quality of life improvements and more abundance for everyone.
@SinthePosting China uses distillation as a tool to keep up, that doesn't mean they will be incapable of innovating on their own if the US pauses AI development. And of course it matters who builds it. If it doesn't, what is even the point of pausing if we can't shape its values at all anyway?
He's clearly wrong here. Of course China is capable of innovating on its own. That's why it's ahead in robotics, and handing it a lead in AI would be a tragedy. More intelligence is good for everyone, and it will lead to a society of abundance in spite of leftist resistance.
If we build them, there would be no more: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides, avalanches, mudflows, rockfalls, sinkholes, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, lightning storms, hailstorms, dust storms, sandstorms, windstorms, blizzards, ice storms, floods, heat waves, droughts, forest fires, severe freezes, pandemics, or even pest outbreaks.
Earth will never be Eden. Eden must be built.
I was a slavery abolitionist for 10 years and the thing that made me quit is realizing I would personally whip every poor person in the world to save my child
I find little more outrageous than people using woke social justice language to defend facilitating the mass torture of the innocent by purchasing meat.
ngl, these tweets have changed my perspective on veganism. i used to think that a vegan diet was the most ethical dietary choice, but i see now that i was wrong. the most ethical dietary choice is actually to slaughter and consume the morons who like tweets like this en masse.
