Switchboard operators?

Yeah he is one of the few space fan billionaires who actually didnt go up. Shows he at some level knows he is full of ahit.

Interesting first job your mind goes to there Yud. Might spend a little bit less time around people who regularly use the word goon but who never talk about the mob.

Iirc he even claimed he thought at times the world was a simulation made just for him. Im starting to think he isn't in a healthy place mentally.

E: ow god he thinks you can cool things in space, because space is cool.

"billionaires build prosperity" even has the causal arrow wrong. Bezos didn't start amazon as a billionaire for example.

Have not done eu5 so didnt know they improved the system. But indeed.

Not that it matters for the pro let billionaires colonize space crowd. As some thing some thing ai robots are magic. See also how they are planning datacenters in space, and dont think there is a real solution for the whole 'what if you need to flip a switch or replace a fan' problem.

Self growing like a video game, for example a colony in eu4, initially it costs a lot of gold per month to keep sending colonists, and when you reach 100% growth it becomes a full province on which you can build things.

If only more journalists go: 'we don't know what this means either, and when we asked him he started shouting slurs at us'.

given how inhospitable the moon is.

You could even say she is a harsh mistress.

There seem to be a few people here now who just dump unrelated links without any explanation. (See also the one who just posted a dozen, which all seem to mention Trump). No idea what they are trying to do.

“People are just jealous that they are poorer and weaker and uglier,”

Remember when Rationalists pretended to care about truth, steelmanning, ideological turning tests etc.

(Also implying that billionaires are strong and attractive is funny)

subverting any assumptions that Berkeley is all radical hippies

Yall still are radical hippies. Some hippies just love the boot.

California is, I believe, the only state to give health insurance to people who come into the country illegally,” Kauffman said nervously. “I think we probably should not be providing that.

Rationalism, the empathy removal training center.

“It is the intention of journalists to lie, which is why we need to not do anything to the journalists themselves, but we need to simply remove them as a class,” Annie said. “Just like Germany does to the extremist organizations.”

Well, Germany certainly did excel at removing classes of people from society

lol.

Her political awakening, she added, was watching the press “constantly pump out obviously fake information” against Trump during the 2016 election instead of reporting on the “actual abhorrent views he holds.”

Converted by Scott. (That 'people are saying I was wrong but actually I was right' disclaimer aged worse than the post).

The comment, see my prediction that when a movement runs out of idea they inevitably start a dating site for the in crowd, and 'lets do book summaries so we can all read faster'. Esp vague self help style places do this all the time.

In Search of Lost Time, by Marcel Proust, is one of those books that people like to claim to have read but never did.

First I heard of this.

Yeah an ace person will never leave you for someone who they find more sexually attractive. (The 'divorced' energy of these people is often off the scale, but they literally will invent a horny std before going to therapy).

In a way it is amazing, as the science fiction idea is agis behaving like agents to help us out. We dont have agis, but they started to make the agents regardless. Feels very cargo cult, but for fiction. Beam me up Scotty im done.

Reminds me that the state of art short story collection also had a story where they give a semi smart teleport machine the wrong instructions so it teleports itself. (Causing the start of ww3 on earth basically, which fails because corporations suck).
