What really drove human evolution

@Plinz @madhavajay @stephlepp we're going the other way...

@IsaacKing314 on the goodwill of the filthy rich... they obviously will just find some ethical framework to rationalize whatever they want to do.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@IsaacKing314 I can understand why Bernie might not be feeling super hopeful about getting the necessary governance technology in place and feel that slowing the AI push down is the only way to deal with it. I'm open to any ideas to the contrary. I'm sure he would be too, but they can't rely/

@IsaacKing314 resources and efforts.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@IsaacKing314 Obviously the main foreseeable economic effect of AI is to further concentrate the means of production into fewer hands. I don't really agree with his approach but it's dumb-headed to pretend AI is magically going to solve that issue without significant allocation of /

@Teddy21btc @NoemiTitarenco @pmarca public funding or a patronage system that's somehow not profit-based. As soon as you require profit for funding, you bring true innovation to 0 because it's inherently risky.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@Teddy21btc @NoemiTitarenco @pmarca Innovation is impossible on a purely capitalist basis. Capitalist investors only give money to things that are already making money. They can only amplify. Try to get VC funding without customers... The only way to go from 0 to 1 is without relying on a prescient altruist is/

@alz_zyd_ B) Debating people exposes you to either side's memetic antibodies. Whichever side has more profit incentive has more memetic antibodies. If you debate instead of thinking for yourself, you just aggregate over all the rationalizations you've heard.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@alz_zyd_ A) If you actually try to use LLM's for this with a clear mind and try to verify what it says, it's amazing how much stuff is just flat out incorrect. When talking about topics at the edge of your grasp, it constantly sounds like it knows what it's talking about, but is off.

@EHPlimsoll1 @cafreiman They did this at dozens of universities around the country... many of them did give in. They installed professors with approved ideology. Those professors became heads of departments at other universities they funded..

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@EHPlimsoll1 @cafreiman https://t.co/WdmImAZlaG .. seems like your'e going based on what you want to be true vs the facts.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@EHPlimsoll1 @cafreiman Maybe I should have specified, "the conclusions which become generally accepted as valid by the field"

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@EHPlimsoll1 @cafreiman "Very little of what happens in economics is funded by outside donors or grants." .. so you think all the economics research is getting paid for by university endowments? Who is giving those?

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@EHPlimsoll1 @cafreiman There are several sources of bias other than the economists themselves.
- which econ programs get donations
- which profs get promoted
- which students are encouraged to continue studies
- what gets funded by grants
- what studies are used as justification for policy

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@HaytGhola @cafreiman ultimately synchronization has to occur. shared state has to be established. The various components of the system have to come together to decide upon a source of truth. This is what consensus mechanisms are all about.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@HaytGhola @cafreiman I agree that central planning wouldn't work in the majority of cases, for exactly the information theoretical reasonign that has become popular nowadays. So governance of shared resources should be seen as a distributed systems problem. But the fact is, in distributed systems/

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@cafreiman For instance the field of economics claims to accept things like Ostrom's ideas about common pool resources. Yet I never see proselytizers like you integrating those ideas in your worldview.

[spacechimplives @spacechimplife]

@cafreiman There are some valuable aspects to economics, but the conclusions are so politicized and it's nearly impossible to isolate contextual factors in studies to determine how the theory actually plays out
