“Similarly, individuals should have access to personal superintelligence and should only be subject to restrictions when truly required.”

He could tell me my ability to forge unicorns will be restricted and I’d still tell him to fuck off. My computer belongs to me.

We should just deregulate cutting them down.

Which router companies fight back? Or computer hardware in general? Anybody with a warrant canary?

Just because he’d still be innocent doesn’t make it smart idea!

How’s that working out for no-knock warrants in the USA?

The Hulk can clap as a ranged attack, and as propulsion within an atmosphere.

This unironically for every business. Force them to pay us for peace.

A properly done hanging isn’t torture.

I like it for making a quick crappy version of something, so then they’ll tell me the double secret requirements, and then I write the real version.

Nano uses “proof of stake” instead of proof of work to decide the order of transactions, and who receives block rewards.

The main problem with PoS is that it’s essentially the same as Federal Reserve bonds: all the new money goes towards people with extra money to freeze. This is part of why inequality has spiraled out of control since the Nixon Shock. Proof of work literally burns most of the profits because of difficulty adjustment.

A more specific problem with Nano (formerly RaiBlocks) is that the entire supply was centrally issued, with a pinky promise from this private organization that they only issued coins by CAPTCHA. If they were lying, then they could have issued 51% of the supply to themselves for permanent control. The only way we’d be able to detect it is if the price kept going down for years.

Looking at the shape it’s taken so far, do you really think you’ll be included in that singularity? Or will you be just another ape roasting to death as your brain rots? If it’s energy-intensive, then what matters is who controls the factors of production. They see you as a cost, not a useful friend who simped for Pascal’s Basilisk.

We could have a positive singularity, or we could have a malevolent singleton. And it depends on your rationality right now.

You’re immune to the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect!

Perfect example, wrong answer. Stay on the Fediverse, at least until Eternal September gets here.

One of my favorite economics bloggers for decades started sourcing his information with LLMs. He was such a bright guy. 😭

Why do you think we’re all so interested in unions?

The HOA can’t force you to break the law. If this is actually happening to you, talk to a lawyer!

The socialist solution to the oil problem will probably make you mad too.

Even if prices just go up from inflation, they’ll say it’s because they’re forced to treat people like people.

This isn’t a problem for me, I have a bicycle and the subway is… already… filled with ads. 🙁
