more leftists make revolution

  • Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon

    Jump

  • the word "kill" is typically used in regards to warfare, not murder, so I'm not sure why you would say in this instance that it was written as though it wasn't an act of war.

  • Study finds persistent spike in hate speech on X

    Jump

  • Constantly means habitually. I can't even begin to formulate an apology for persistent spike though.

  • Who remembers this?

    Jump

  • Literally the entire planet remembers this. Even people who were not born yet.

  • not an answer

  • Elon Musk's robotaxi will have a human driver for 'safety' reasons

    Jump

  • I'm planning to launch a human-only taxi service, but to cut costs the humans will be AI.

  • ‘Magic Tree House’ Author, ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ among hundreds of Tennessee book bans

    Jump

  • I can't empathise with these book banners. If I had a kid, I'd probably be happier with them reading a book by a conservative ideologue than them not reading anything at all.

  • ‘No Kings’ was biggest protest in U.S. history: data analyst

    Jump

  • well was fun knowing you...

    Jump

  • robots and drones and stuff exist. If the AI is capable of exterminating humans I'm sure it can figure out robotics.

  • I once saw someone exclude AI apocalypse from list of existential risks on the grounds that the AI lives on even if we don't.

  • I'm not necessarily advocating for extra energy spent here. I'm advocating for not rubbing the salt into the wound by mocking her, like others are doing in this thread. Doesn't exactly seem like a good way to be welcoming to new converts.

  • Instead of giving her the leopards treatment, maybe we should be welcoming people like this who want to change allegiances.

  • Mm for instance, I think in some contexts markets are pretty powerful, like prediction markets are pretty good at predicting things. (Not saying they're flawless -- polymarket likely overpredicted Trump's victory). Or that benign-looking regulation is frequently detrimental to the public -- while not libertarians at all, Abundance makes a good case for repealing a lot of regulation related to construction. Such regulation is often motivated by people who want to preserve the value of their homes, even though on the surface it appears to be about environmental concerns. (Obviously, I think the environment is important, so we shouldn't just repeal everything. Just that we should be more critical of such regulation.) Another example is how the U.S. banned civilian supersonic aviation in its airspace because of disruptive sonic booms; apparently the technology now exists to keep such booms very quiet, but the regulation persists, because it's not booms which were banned but instead supersonic speed as a proxy for booms.
