Hence my conversation about deterritorialization with void. How far does it need to go? But structural analysis doesn't define the end goal. Fact is, no one has been able to even adequately define AGI for me. I'm not convinced it's a coherent concept. Someone prove me wrong!

We live in a stupidly polarizing world where nuance is apparently not allowed. Everyone wants you to be for or against something—and nowhere is this more exhausting than with AI. There are those who insist that it’s all bad and there is nothing of value in it. And there are those who think it’s all powerful, the greatest thing ever, and will replace basically every job with AI bots who can work better and faster.

You don't know what else someone who's wearing a red knitted cap is doing, and they prob shouldn't announce all the things they are doing — nor do we want the fash to be able to identify who is and isn't doing heavy resistance work by virtue of a hat. Let symbols be popular.

Portland’s central city should have 10x its current population density and this is opportunity site 1 by a mile I think. Restore the grid with shared & car-free streets and add housing for 4,000-8,000 folks

Marx isn't just mildly disagreeing with the Luddites, he's saying their machine-breaking actively gave reactionary governments a pretext for repression. It was strategically counterproductive on top of being analytically wrong.

It has long been my opinion that the rise of Trump 2.0 is fundamentally the result elites in every sector of society absolutely losing their minds over Me Too and the racial justice uprising, and every new piece of Epstein content just further validates this

ran a simulation: 1000 agents, same coin flip, +50% or -40% each round.
ensemble average after 200 rounds: looks great
median agent: bankrupt
same gamble but agents pool resources in groups of 10: everyone's wealth is 1900x starting value. zero bankruptcies.
cooperation isn't altruism, it's math

You notice how with elections liberals describe the left as simultaneously all-powerful and singularly decisive to the outcome, while also being pathetic idiots who don't understand the first thing about how the world actually works? That remind you of how anyone else describes another group of ppl?
i always love it when liberals critique me for being part of some leftist hive mind when like, I voted exclusively for Democrats. I told other people I thought it was best to vote for Democrats.
The Democrats lost. And they didn't lose because leftists refused to vote for them.
