privacy accelerationism = a cornerstone in todays continued fight for freedom (obtw: blood spills in this war regularly) 💎 “… & keep the law.” ⚖️📖 Acts 21:24
@annamlulis Women leave or rabidly fight with impunity bc they lean on uncle sugar… this is not just a story about dad‘s leaving… That is a red herring
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
@dhh@OpenRouter Can you bake in a token broker that classifies trusts levels of each provider a user accepts so that we can be mindful which tokens we priced locally, give to American big tech, & which we allow China to see…?
@ycombinator Hello 🙋🏻 to the future: from this infantile era when we called operating systems “harnesses” bc we were still running them separately 🤡 Omarchy was fusing them recklessly, but paved the way
@ycombinator In THIS room: what eventually successful techniques faced the most prolonged contraindications & rode solely on the intuitive conviction of 1 minority (of opinion) champion?
1,643 men with localized prostate cancer were randomized to surgery, radiation, or active monitoring.
Fifteen years later, deaths from prostate cancer:
Monitoring — 3.1%
Surgery — 2.2%
Radiation — 2.9%
P = 0.53.
No difference.
None.
Surgery and radiation halved metastasis and progression. It bought not one additional year of life.
A quarter of the monitored men were alive at 15 years having received no treatment at all.
Under standard care every one of them would have been cut or irradiated.
And every one would have been counted afterward as a life the treatment saved.
The men who were treated paid in incontinence, impotence, and bowel injury.
Here is the conclusion of the investigators themselves, in the New England Journal of Medicine:
"Depending on the extent of side effects associated with early radical treatments, more aggressive therapy can result in more harm than good."
That is Oxford. In NEJM. Reporting their own 15-year randomized trial.
The scandal is not that the treatments harm (and they do).
It is that the choice was never offered.
