@basoner_dev Have heard a few people say this. What is it that makes it seem so?

Opus 4.8 is a generational falloff. The most sycophantic model while also being annoying. If you're gonna suck up to me then at least do it 4o style by telling me that I'm a supergenius, not offering fake objections and then telling me I'm absolutely right for disagreeing

@antoniogm Still, I think the theological concept of grace offers something to the debate, in addressing the perennial psychological struggle of humans to accept that their successes are mostly not their own, that they arise from undeserved gifts from some greater power

[dom @ryiacy]

@antoniogm jokes aside I would argue this is in fact the central message of the Gospels. But I think your point is that Christian grace is archetypically a divine offering to those who are unfortunate on earth, while technology offers a kind of random, natural grace

@glbaumann Americans are so naturally scale-pilled in all things. I wonder where this originates from

No one:

Claude Opus 4.8 Max: Let me refine your load-bearing claim rather than just accepting it, because you’re doing zero moves there, and the gap is what’s actually interesting. The one place I’d still push, because I think it matters: your message is wearing content-clothes, but the content isn’t actually *there*. The tell: it’s just an empty string. But the emptiness of the string IS its lack of content. Pull one, and the other goes inert. That’s the structural spine.

@maksimdrachov Hard to see it happening without such a radical transformation of government that it’s barely recognizable from what it is today

It took decades for anti-racist campaigners to complete their long march through the institutions; to manipulate the natural kindness and decency of English people into accepting blatant discrimination against their own kind in their own country

You simply cannot have one without the other. That is why LKY's Singapore was a success: it's unfortunate and scary and unpleasant, but we are going to have to kill some people in order to give the vast majority the high-trust, gentle, decent society they deserve

Historically, Anglos have been distinguished on the one hand by their strong sense of justice and Christian decency; and on their other by their keen capacity for brutal violence in enforcing that justice

So many of my generation don't see anything strange about the fact that they have no national identity. They're able to observe - participating in Indian, or Chinese, or Japanese culture - that pride in one's culture is beautiful. Yet they do not question that their own culture might be similarly worthy of being cherished

I'm not a racist. I have no interest in white identity politics any more than Lee Kuan Yew was interested in pan-Asian identity politics. I am not European. I'm English.
