I would define blueskyism as support for the ability to control one's own feed and freedom from an algorithm designed to push people with certain opinions, uprank paid subscribers, downrank links, and addict the user.
Into rail, stats, economics, basketball, dogs, YIMBYISM and normcore (no lightcone) EA. Sometimes wrong, always chugging along.

Arresting Jerome Powell -another bad one "I have cancer" - best possible announcement. I don't know any context for this outside of what you gave.
Yes to be clear I am really hoping that nothing happens here as any violence will be awful, but sometimes dark humor is useful to get through the day.
Me watching a fight between Trump and Maduro - I hope that everyone involved in this dies.
NIMBYism is behind so much of what is terrible in the world right now, example 100.
He doesn't seem to be whining to me?
I think this misses the fact that a lot of AI accelerationism is based on paranoia around trying to stay ahead of China on AI.
It is likely that he has Pakistani friends who are casteist and he got infected with casteism.
Is there a limit to how much can raise in a year? If so, they may be going for the full raise in anticipation that future years may see higher price increases than they can match.
To people in Scotland it must seem about 1/8 as bad as an American president flying the confederate flag.
If 0.7% of our labor force suddenly left our economy would be in shambles much more than it already is.
The solar part of this doesn't really make any sense, the charging station (and a battery can be useful for faster charging) definitely does but it's already not that uncommon.
As of today I am now a fiancee with a fiancee. Wow.
I'd go further. The answer to all of these questions before the courts is 14.3.
Strategies are balanced. There isn't a single best strategy.
They have specifically denied the claim that they were asked not to speak about Israel Palestine. And I believe them, because Taylor Lorenz is a known liar and hypocrite.
I think it's a joke about Nobel not wanting to reward future work in explosives.
One final Woj bomb.
That part of her story hasn't really been backed up.
Or do we want it to be a soulsborne. hmm.
Not before we get a Redwall RPG in the vein of Dragon Age.
Apparently liberal Catholics seem especially upset about this as he was created by a conservative Catholic company, with some thought that calling an AI a priest could be heretical. www.ncronline.org/opinion/gues...
You are almost certainly in the wealthy red section here
I am an accelerationist for the end of Trumpism So yes.
In fairness I think people should be able to sue astrologers for fraud, because astrology is fraud.
Nor does it excuse doxxing the names of people who are in the program or letting Taylor Lorenz, who is currently suing a vox reporter for (correctly) claiming that she had been working for a children's smartphone company when she went against school cell phone bans, write for them.
donors. Banning payments isn't protecting anyone, it's disrespectful to the dignity of potential donors to make this decision that they can't receive money for them. (And obvs there should be regs here to prevent abuses of the system and this should be a government run system.)
People should not be pressured. But I am extremely convinced that it would be better for all parties if donors were paid. They are providing a service, and they should be paid fairly for that service. This would both save a lot of lives given the current kidney shortage, and be fairer to the
All these cite one source - US Commerce Department “revision” They explain it as a result of “huge investment and production output” plus strong “purchasing power by US consumers” All this doesn’t really make sense given the reality we live in - tariffs (aka tax on consumers), unemployment..
Agreed. Though I will say he might be coming to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons here given his somewhat bizarre wording here. This doesn't seem like the great defenses for paying kidney donors from people who have actually donated themselves like Jeremiah Johnson.
He seems like a terrible guy for being friends with assholes like RFK Jr, Peter Thiel and Bryan Johnson. But yes kidney donors should be compensated! It is a brave and a life saving act, and it is cruel to ask people to do it without compensation.
*This one is not true for politics.
It's also important that it's play. And as such it's a good chance to play with strategies and theories. As there is little to lose if you are wrong. Spouting off opinions is a critical tool for humans like playing fetch for dogs is. And sports is a safe way of practicing that.
every viewer the false certainty that they are an accomplished sports knower by comparison.
Most of the answers here are correct. But I will add that one often encounters people with extremely informed, strong and wrong opinions on politics and sports. So comparing oneself to them can give one a false sense of superiority. The purpose of Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless is to give
The only good thing about Canto was the force kid at the end. Very easy to replace/give them a different origin.
Everyone wants to be The Witcher.
I'm sorry you really seem to have brought out the crazies in these replies.
We need to support people who show opposition to tyranny. Whether that means staying and fighting or resigning in protest depends on the case. That should usually be up to the individual to decide which is the better strategy.
It's bad on purpose so you'll click on it.
Oh you are certainly far more well read than me then. But I think it's just obviously better on average if a larger group of people makes decisions by vote than if a single person makes decisions due to birth or violence. Regardless of whether they had theory on why it was better.
And there were certainly issues with slavery and poverty in the senatorial period as well. But I think the period before at least wasn't a tyranny where emperor's profligately spent on places, circuses and fancy columns between credit crashes like that of Tiberius.
GDP was almost certainly higher in the Antonines. Wellbeing was almost certainly higher at almost any point of the dark ages excepting the violent fall of the empire or the plague. Far far better to be a medieval serf than to be a slave of Rome or a pauper who has to compete with slaves for work.
That is very much not my claim. The Roman Senate certainly had a ton of issues with representation and you also have the mad actions of Sulla etc. But it was a candle for democracy which ended up extinguished.
The cultural and economic zenith of the roman empire is the wrong question here. The height of well being in the antiquity period for the Mediterranean adjusting for expected economic growth given the passing of time is more like it. So maybe the period right before the first greco-persian war.
Too much of this claim is based on statues and columns Roman emperor's made to glorify themselves.
still hurts us today because leaders want to be Caeser.
I think most people would say this points to starting it with Commodus But why not start it when Julius Caesar destroyed Roman democracy and genocide Gaul? The fandoms that Caesar and Augustus still have is extremely fucked up, based on inaccurate views of their awful impact on the world, and
There were plenty of reasonable fixes here like working to reduce sycophancy and Claude's new capability to shut down convos. This is not a reasonable fix. And I don't think it's fair to blame people for pointing out a real problem just because someone else decides to go with a dumb fix.
One thing we can all do is not join in on that sensationalizing and searching for/reading articles on the shooter.
I don't think papers and social media should censor this info. I think they shouldn't sensationalize and spread it everywhere.
These shootings are multicausal and we should definitely impose strict gun control too.
Things are in motion by the way, they only barely beat me to it.
I got a "we've been dating for longer than them and still no ring" comment from my partner this week.
I really wish people would not post or repost images of that gun with mass murderer messages on here. Stop giving these assholes the notoriety they want.
This stuff should go to researchers and police but probably should not be printed up in newspapers or posted on social media. I actually very much do not want to know what their motivations or names are as preventing the spread of those motives can help to stop copycats who want the same notoriety.
You are so brave to be speaking out against anonymous donations combatting a wannabe dictator who wants to arrest his opponents from a pseudonymous social media account.
And this is obviously hypocritical ratfucking because it's coming from Taylor Lorenz, who is now threatening to sue someone from vox for correctly reporting that she was trying to do paid advertising for a child smartphone company.
You're assuming that they require anonymity because their ideas are unpopular. That's completely ignorant of the current hybrid autocracy in the US where the Trump admin is currently trying to unjustly prosecute Alex Soros and any other dem funder they can get.
reduced the risks of recent tragedies.
Not disagreeing with your point that AI can't and shouldn't be banned, which I agree with. But some smart regs could have helped with the more recent cases, a federal level bill similar to SB 1047 also covering risks of suicidal ideation (the bill already covered cyberattacks) could have helped
to learn about their cause afterwards.
This is probably partly true. But if these manifestos were shared and read less that would help to reduce several avenues that lead to motives for these shootings, inclusive of the one you mention but also others. It won't prove to others that they were Willing To Die For A Cause if nobody bothers
such. We aren't living in Putin's Russia yet, but we are on the way there.
In a liberal democracy that is a good rule. Content creators here though may also need some protection using secrecy on such payments. To take a more extreme case of this, journalistic integrity wouldn't require a Ukrainian journalist investigating Russian prison camps to identify themselves as
safe giving this money, that's totally ok with me.
A year ago I would have strongly agreed with you about transparency. But room for donor secrecy has actually become critical in today's hybrid authoritarian regime, with Trump baselessly trying to prosecute Alex Soros and others for giving to dem causes. If they need secrecy to feel personally
Does pot count? Well I don't have to tell them it was pot do I.
I have allergies, will that work?
They perform these shootings partially because they want people to read their manifestos. If fewer people read these things we would have fewer shootings.
We did not attack Tim Pool for taking ad dollars. We attacked Tim Pool for taking money from the genocidal and fascist Russian government to help crush democracy.
No Taylor Lorenz is just a ratfucker.
Especially not for a ratfucking hit piece like this.
This is not what my wired subscription should be paying for. Taylor Lorentz is a bad journalist and I don't like my money going to her.
Lol why are you making this sound like a bad thing.
Running only on that single line can actually help to overcome that reticence imo. Because it can help one to avoid taking unpopular social or economic positions. "I'm not a lefty I just oppose Trump's dictatorship" is almost certainly the strongest avenue available. It's the hotelling point.
(fake) savvy nothing ever happens.

Yeah this.
I think the right answer here is that Birds are crocodilians as are turtles And crocodilians should not be considered reptiles. The other reptiles are just reptiles.

If something I dunked, a glorious ratio.
I don't know if SB 1047 would have helped her. Maybe @shakeelhashim.com or someone else would.
Yeah but you have to work at the margin, and part of that is allowing the legal system to work to sue companies who are negligent on risks generally.
I proudly self identify as an NPC.
risks that they should pay for.
I think this is definitely true at the same time as OpenAI should lose a big lawsuit and a lot of money on this particular case. They have been negligent in letting gpt have higher sycophancy and other issues than the competition, probably because a lot of users like that, and well, that causes
DOCTOR, contra the famous advice from 80k. For most people at least, I think.
OpenAI seeming worse than what one would expect from an AGI with ethics more or less randomly selected from the corpus of human writing. I still hold to my view that if someone is choosing between becoming a doctor and becoming an AI researcher, X risks should lean one further towards becoming a
One thing I have changed my mind on a lot over the past year is open source AI models. AI capabilities are looking more sigmoidal, making alignment risks seem less dangerous, while despot control of AI has become far more of a risk with the election of Trump, and the control of XAI, Deepseek and
Yeah I think "should have refocused more on the economy" is probably true. But I don't think the glock line would really hurt there, as it can be used as a quick way to reject an anti-police claim as ridiculous and then quickly refocus.
impugn the vast value of stricter gun regulations.
transnational gangs is Trump lite in the way that I think one could credibly accuse Starmer for instance of being Trump-lite. Attacking international crime in guns and drugs is good, attacking immigrants is not. Similarly it makes sense for a former prosecutor to have a glock in a way that doesn't
Saying that someone's strategy is bad because Kamala adopted it and didn't win, is a false argument because her campaign did a good job of raising her vote share. I don't know how else to interpret your statement. I would also strike back quite heavily at the claim that having a glock or attacking
as it wasn't a perfect campaign but it was an excellent one that worked as well as as could be expected given the incredibly horrendous media environment and hatred of Biden last year.
That's not really a good complaint As she heavily outperformed Biden's polling pre-switch and expected performance from inflation and worldwide incumbency performance in post COVID years. I do disagree with this post by Lakshya but I hate arguments dependent on saying Kamala ran a bad campaign,
I just have a real hard time imagining this with Claude. They all seem to have sycophancy problems, but OpenAI seems especially vulnerable to sycophancy from everything I've seen.
I think the answer here may be third party companies offering in person certification to make sure that an application was not AI assisted, similar to SAT testing. www.theargumentmag.com/p/ai-broke-j...
