key distinctions from my convo w/ yampolksiy: -- the choice isn't (a) keep humans happy and pretty much the same forever [good] or (b) replace them [bad] -- the situation is: attenuation or transformation are the ONLY choices, there is no stasis in the world to come, so: defining and moving towards what a "positive transformation" would be for man and for the greater process-of-life (of which we are temporarily part) seems extremely warranted there is no "if enouhg humans agree on it, we can have 1MM years of humans-as-they-are as main character." that's literally not an option, and we need to stop pretending that it is - so that we can have REAL conversations at the end of this clip I talk about Nintendo corp going from the 1880s [when it made playing cards] to today [pokemon go], constantly "becoming whatever it needed to become to participate and persist in the evolving intelligent SYSTEM in which it was embedded." ^ This is what all of life does, this is what mankind must do, and we must not pretend otherwise

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life. This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.  Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Nothing. That's the honest answer no one wants to give. The competitive structure that drives the race doesn't change because you replay the timeline. Swap every CEO, every government, every lab. The incentives remain, and they produce the same result.

Please repost and let the world know that the algorithms JP Morgan and leading banks use to manipulate the stock market are public and being documented live and in real time on this page. Please repost if the resources on this page have enabled your understanding of the United States Stock Market. If the LIVE major market (re: Nasdaq, S&P 500, DIA, VIX, proshare, leading equitie) calls shared by this page have transformed your understanding of public equities. I’ll use this post to better streamline some information—answer questions— and gain traction all in one. What you are watching in real time on this page are trade-secrets and information reported to the @SECGov . The U.S. Stock Market is not a blackbox where fraud happens at random—it’s actually all of the work I’ve uncovered with regulators.

I'm going to go over some pretty complicated information here but thread it all so that a high schooler can keep up with the information and complexity here so buckle up. The U.S. Stock Market is correcting and I'm going to take a few moments here as it does to explain how.

Many in my community hold Anthropic in high regard. Sadly, they should not. I wrote a post showing why. Anthropic in its current form is not trustworthy. The leadership is sometimes misleading and deceptive; they contradict themselves and lobby against regulations just like everyone else, while not really being accountable to anyone except perhaps their investors. The post discloses a number of facts that had not previously been reported on and combines them with publicly available information in an attempt to paint an image of Anthropic more accurate than the picture Anthropic’s leadership likes to present.

lest we forget: the greatest handout in consumer surplus history was AI labs paying $0 for everyone’s data the models are only as good as the human creativity they were scraped from
it is absolutely insane that my combined substack subscriptions easily rival my pro tier chatbot subscriptions. the pricing norms that were set by chatgpt were one of the greatest handouts of consumer surplus in history

People always forget that the end of the “one bad apple…” phrase is “…spoils the bunch.” As long as there is a police culture that tolerates, excuses and covers up bad behaviour from fellow cops, the whole institution will continue to rot from within.

The soy farms we dedicate to feeding *Chinese pigs* would ~5x U.S. electricity generation if used for solar instead. It would restore ~20 million acres of grazing lands, and support ~10x the current U.S. sheep herd.
It’s not enough that we have to subsidize soybeans in the U.S. It’s not enough that we have to subsidize soybeans that we sell to China. We somehow have to convince China to buy more of our subsidized soybeans than THEY want to. Have we considered that maybe we just shouldn’t have 85 million acres of soy monoculture?

Hopefully that fight does a little to remove the narrative that Ankalaev is some kind of unstoppable monster who "solved" Poatan. Likewise, that fight reinforces how much of MMA lives or dies on "do I respect this guy enough to concede to going backwards?".

i think it’s important to know that the vast majority (99.999..%) of people in the world believe that models such as Claude are intentionally programmed by humans, and that they find the supposition that they are instead grown or evolved to be absurd science fiction.
