You can't take TSMC by force. Any fighting there would trash the fabs, and anyway you need imported equipment to keep it running. So if China did invade Taiwan and wreck it, there'd be little point in trying to take it back.

I genuinely wonder how I'm gonna be a programmer long term because the industry has been so thoroughly infested with this nonsense.

Eliezer is a major contributor to the rationalist attitude of venerating super-forecasters and super-predictors and promoting the idea that rational smart well informed people should be able to put together super accurate predictions!

This is a necessary component of his imagined AGI monster. Good thing it's bullshit.

Why would anyone name a browser after Ronald Reagan's wife anyway

Edit: facepalm

so replacement.ai is funny as hell, but it turns out it's actually the Future of Life Institute (Max Tegmark's lot). more EA on EA violence in c/sneerclub@awful.systems

Ha, I clocked them as rationalist.

I can't really tell who the insaner person is here, which is an achievement.

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:

I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.

Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can't decide, but it's a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.

Someone posted this on ssc with a warning about talking to cops, but really just marvel at what's going on here.

Aaronson manages to turn a story where he is briefly arrested for a theft (which he did commit on video!) into paragraphs and paragraphs of indulging in his persecution fantasies.

Zero empathy on display for the people he stole from, the people just doing their jobs, or reflection on the fact that it wasn't a simple little mistake anyone could make but rather... a fairly weird move? Do people usually put change in cups?
