Incredible how the fact that she basically faked her thesis so Robert Barro could attack women more and no one cared. It was also a thesis denying the brutal sexism in Asia in that time period. Just a fucking joke academic.

Oster published her thesis and got into Brown and was one of the most famous economists in the world. The only issue? The entire thesis was completely wrong and she published it knowing it was wrong. After she got hired, she published a follow up paper of “lol jk” and got praised for that too.

To get back at women, he pushed the thesis of a female PhD student with a “politically incorrect” take on women. That women was Emily Oster and her take was that girls weren’t being aborted for being women in Asia, it was just that women in Asia somehow started being vulnerable to a certain disease

Oster was thrust into stardom because Robert Barro (Josh’s dad) was FURIOUS about Larry Summers being forced out as Harvard’s president for saying that the smartest women were dumber than the smartest men. scholar.harvard.edu/files/barro/...

Also also 1. The practical difference between a semi and full auto is not very relevant. 2. We've all played video games, we know the difference, it just barely matters so we lump them together.

Yeah, this is how lawyers pretend the law works but it's obviously not how the law works at all.

1. If it is speech, it's still fine to find OpenAI liable for indulging in psychosis. 2. If it's not speech, it's obviously fine to make them liable.

OpenAI should pay out a few billion to all of its victims of GPT-4 and admit fault and bury GPT-4. We can get to the First Amendment when more explicit biased censorship demands are actually made.

The question of whether a probabilistic sampling from the entire internet (with the probabilities manipulated company to company) is speech is extremely difficult and the idea that we even need to worry about it in this case is, to be frank, fucking stupid.

other more explicit censorship? Are you kidding me? And this is already happening in general due to extralegal pressure put on these companies due to their need for US funding and the crushing of overseas regulations and competition.

However, the 2nd amendment is not treated as a dead letter! Exceptions to allow society to function are inherently allowed. Yes, we have to debate how far the exceptions can go. But implying that banning companies from having their LLMs indulge in self-destructive behavior will lead to

Yes, it is. The 2nd amendment says that "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed" but there are tons of people banned from bearing arms and any arms that would be useful in killing the US military (the point of the 2nd amendment when crafted) are banned.
