How to Rebuild Your Lower Back From The GROUND Up!
Step 1: Charmin Ultra Comfy (remove middle roll for men) or other super comfy padding, exhaust holding the position
I will now show this progression in detail all the way to the full unusual style of quad-set I do now…
Hey @X is this a joke? I call out inappropriate behavior and content in gyms but there is NEVER any nudity and if there is, I cover it up. Millions of views which YOU get paid for and not even a discussion? There was no “thorough” review. Just one email and DONE. Do better X…

@xriskology Saying this and NOT mentioning that Yudkowsky and every other leader in these communities actively disavow violence… is both misleading and might actively contribute to unhinged people wrongly thinking these leaders endorse violence.
Please stop.
I'm curious if anyone with access to the Mythos checkpoint tried the intervention from the alignment poser paper of noising the activations, which apparently uncovered the overwhelmingy majority of models finetuned to fake alignment.
starting to feel like only musicians, non-profit organizations, and your local independent bookstore should make merch. the world is flooded with cheap merch that companies feel like they should make and no one actually wears for any duration. goes to back of closet then landfill
Obvious even before Ukraine: The effect of increasing military automation, including lesser AI, is to make logistics double-supreme instead of just supreme. The new game becomes (1) taking out $1M devices with $100K devices, (2) production. Obvious winner, China.
This was already on my books as a major geopolitical line of possibility. That thought has now been heavily reinforced; it seems confirmed that the USA is wholly incapable of RAPIDLY researching and deploying CHEAP offenses and countermeasures; the US had to go begging to Ukraine, after utterly failing to even try to prepare in advance to shoot down Shaheds not with Patriots. The US military bureaucracy is not built for "build massive quantities of cheap drone countermeasures right now". It seems just flatly incapable of that as a matter of psychology and organizational dynamics. It couldn't even copy Ukrainian technology in advance.
There's an overwhelmingly obvious candidate for which country would actually be good at the age of drone warfare; it's the country containing Shenzhen. Absent the nuclear equilibrium, China would possibly already have the ability to attack the USA and win on drone logistics -- unless of course China were intelligently waiting for the USA to collapse further, or for drone capabilities to improve further.
We do live in a nuclear world. The default prediction is that no major nuclear power gets conquered or seriously invaded in their own homeland. That could change if...
- China acquires the technology to shoot down ICBMs and submarine-launched missiles?
- If the USA gets the sort of President who would accept a fait accompli of a billion gun-equipped robodogs getting smuggled into major American cities, such that the country was already being held hostage; and China said they'd respond to nukes with nukes? This President could be Trump despite his mad-dog quality if China has compromat on him?
- AI destabilizes geopolitics in a way where an overwhelming non-nuclear advantage ends up meaning something even between major powers?
The thought also occurs to me: After softening up the USA with Tiktok, and successfully bringing about the collapse of the USA's political institutions, parties, Constitution, the sort of fighting spirit that powers organized revolts, and all faith of the US populace in the US government and democracy itself...
...probably a LOT of people and especially the Gen Z kids would not flee into the hills to fight, if they woke up one morning to streets patrolled by gun-equipped robodogs that promised, in English with a slight Chinese accent, that from now on the streets would be safe, and China would build homes and high-speed railways. What good was voting doing them, anyways?
Another line of possibility, not known to me to be impossible, is where China decides to gamble on NATO being in sufficient disarray, and offhandedly absorbs all of Earth that *doesn't* have local nuclear arsenals.
The level of AI required to run the robodogs and drone fleets appears to me to be on the way very shortly if it is not already here.
I don't know how one opposes this scenario without there existing some rich liberal society that is able to manufacture cheap frontier-tech drones quickly. I don't see how that society ends up being the USA without a revolution.
My default expectation is that the nuclear countries go merrily on their way allowing China to build up overwhelming non-nuclear military supremacy, in the form of drone fleets that could be quickly repurposed and drone manufacturing that can be done quickly, while relying on nuclear deterrence as their sole real form of defence; in a strategy that they never consciously consider or really confront.
as you might imagine I was blown away. a little unsettled. it felt like art. so I replied: "wow that was really incredible. I love where you are going with this. Can you dig deeper into these themes?"
and claude gave me this
I have a lot of Qs about this so please answer as much as you can, in priority order.
1) What forms of surveillance if any would your terms forbid, if the DoW determined they were legal? What is your definition of it that you believe is unconstitutional as per another Q? In particular, are you willing to do unlimited analysis of third-party or public information, which AIUI is considered legal? Of nominally 'constrained' private information? Is there an actual exception to 'all legal use' other than enshrining current law?
2) Can we see the rest of the contract, or at least the parts you claim tie it specifically to current law, or other parts of the defense in depth that you feel are key components?
3) What legal opinions did you get on your contract language before you agreed to it? Can you share any details? Did you consult with Anthropic's team to learn what their true objections were and why they felt they couldn't accept similar terms, and what particular language they were objecting to?
4) What is the enforceability mechanism? How will you know if DoW violates your redlines or does something illegal? If you do think so, what can you do about it? Does the safety stack include monitoring for patterns of activity like it would with another user? How much leeway does OpenAI have in designing its safety stack?
5) You said that this is more restrictive than Anthropic's previous contract, but that previous contract AIUI contained many more restrictions that they were offering to remove. How can you be confident you're right about this and if so why would DoW agree?
