Because you can't program virtue ethics into an AI. You need a utility function.
All of Yudkowsky's philosophical work is grounded on the framework of AI development.
Can you pause the forum for a few days and restore as many of these posts as possible?
I happen to believe in this theory:
Garbage IN, garbage OUT.
Consider the type of person who will willingly endure a relationship with someone they are disgusted by in order to lift their family of origin out of poverty. An admirable sacrifice, to be sure - but wouldn't you feel some resentment? BurdensomeCount: I'm assuming you're a straight dude. Imagine if your whole family got, say, AIDS or cancer or something. But there was some rich gay dude who would save 'em if you married the guy. He's ugly as hell and kind of smells bad, to boot. Would you take one for the team/your family? What kind of resentment would you have for him? How would you ultimately feel about the sacrifice - and it is a sacrifice - that you are making?
Women are only attracted to the top 20% of men. Any society where the majority of men are getting married is a society where the majority of women are lying back and thinking of England. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can either try to become Chad or you can accept being an incel.
I'm comfortable with it; it worked fine for my ancestors, and if I am performing my duties as a man by providing and protecting then it is perfectly reasonable to expect a woman who will perform her own wifely duties. Whether she enjoys it or not is her own affair.
I think there are no good options for infertile men even if they do not want to have children themselves.
Adopt a sibling's child? Use a brother's sperm to impregnate the wife?
So did archive.today.
Also, it is still possible to retrieve pages from Google's cache. I got my profile back that way, with a small effortpost that would otherwise have been lost. I recommend everyone see what they can save that way. But be quick; the cache refreshes periodically.
My school does the same; barricade the door, get the students to the corner of the classroom away from the doors and windows.
Maybe a little emasculating, but I'm struggling to think of the alternative. Train the boys to banzai charge the shooter?
In the Blue Tribe, not going to college is Just Not Done. College is a rite of passage, not merely a venal way to increase your salary; you are not a real adult until you have a degree.
Looks like a Verbal 660 and a Math 800 (or close enough), anyone who takes even a cursory interest in reading/writing in the English language and isn't failing at mathematics should be able to match it.
That's absurd. A 660 in English is 87th percentile. An 800 in Math is 98th percentile. And that's from the population of students who bothered to take the SAT, not from the general population. 98% of students are sure as fuck not passing algebra. More than 13% of college-bound seniors have taken a passing interest in reading and writing.
I agree that a 1460 SAT is not very impressive for an Ivy League application if you are white, though it's above the average for black students accepted to Harvard. But it's still a WAY above average score. It's just not enough to stand out when you are applying to the most competitive schools in a country of 300 million people.
For example, it's become very common to put question marks at the ends of statements to indicate uncertainty.
But that's not a bad thing? I've picked up that habit from 2000s internet culture and I honestly like it.
The rest just seems like Eternal September. Once smartphones allowed any asshole with a pulse to use the internet, we got to see what a 530 SAT Verbal score looks like first-hand.
At it's core the dating market is suffering from a sort of tragedy of the commons issue, or perhaps a prisoner's dilemma. The societally healthy, pro-social approach that Christianity and most religions have endorsed for essentially the last ~10,000 years give or take of marrying young, being loyal to your partner, reproducing and teaching your sons to do the same is at risk. More and more young men are deciding to defect from a combination of pure lust mixed with either anger at the world, rejection of God and/or other religions, rejection from women they can't emotionally process, or all three at the same time.
Correct. And, as any libertarian knows, the way to solve the tragedy of the commons is to privatize the commons.
Likewise, the way to solve the Woman Question is to make women property again.
The pro-social approach Christianity endorses is only viable when women's sexual choices are controlled by their fathers, then their husbands.
Bug report: If you load more comments on a subthread while having new comments marked by "new", all those comments get a second "new" attached to them, like so: "new" or worse.new". This continues each time you load more comments on a subthread, such that you can eventually have "newnewnewnew
EDIT: Markdown is interpreting the tildes as strikethroughs and I cannot escape them. You know what I mean.
There are alternative certification programs that allow people who already hold a random bachelor's degree to to become teachers without going back to school for two years. I myself did the online, self-paced American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE) program and found a position that way.
Alternatively, I could have gone to a local community college and completed their one-year, two-semester Educator Preparation Institute (EPI) program, but that would have been more expensive (I got the ABCTE program on sale for $1550, while 21 credits for seven courses would have come out to about $2500) and involved more work (ABCTE only required two high-stakes tests, one for the subject area and the other for pedagogy). Admittedly, the EPI programs include student teaching, while ABCTE does not. I was worried that the lack of field experience would hurt me, but I got an offer anyway.
It’s basically impossible to boycott Hollywood because everyone is woke so if you’re a conservative that would involve not sitting on your ass and watching television.
There are several possible substitutes for woke Hollywood. Most notably, anime. There is a reason why the political spectrum goes from smug anime avatars to smug Steven Universe avatars; dissident rightists have noticed that anime is the audiovisual medium of choice for the current counterculture, with its beautiful depictions of feminine characters, family values, and traditional society. Quoth AntiDem:
The appeal of anime is simple: It depicts a world with intact families, high trust, feminine women, politeness and good manners, public order, low crime, and a sense of mutual obligation between neighbors in a community - a world not slathered in gratuitous degeneracy and consumerism, peopled by unmarriageable women and increasingly angry men, which is in the process of careening toward disaster because a corrupt, ineffectual government is helpless in containing an uprising by violent lunatics hopped up on a fanatical ideology.
In the 20th century, people longed for a galaxy full of advanced technology which would take us to unknown worlds beyond the stars, and were inspired by television which showed it to us. In the 21st century, people long only for home and family, for peace and stability, for connection and friendship. To hell with the stars - just give us back the hearth and the dinner table. That is all we dream of now.
I encountered anime in the first year of my adulthood. It taught me that there was another path available - that people could behave differently than they had in my shattered family and the cold, brutal place where I grew up. That there were other ways to go through life than being selfish and angry all the time. That not every love between a man and a woman was doomed to end in bitterness and hatred. That people could be your friend for reasons other than wanting something out of you. That behaving honorably and sacrificing for the good of people around you isn't just a thing that suckers do for ingrates. That not everybody breaks promises whenever they become inconvenient. That there are other approaches to the world than cynicism and irony. That not everything is a scam, and not everybody is out to hustle you.
Nothing in my life up to then had taught me any of that.
Alternatively, if you just can't get into animation, you can embrace the Hallyu and watch K-dramas and movies. I remember watching Squid Game and being so impressed that the only LGBT character was the decadent bad guy who tries to rape the undercover detective. Much different than the average Netflix production.
Or you can just watch old stuff from before Hollywood went woke. Instead of watching modern academy winners like Moonlight, watch an old academy winner like The Sound of Music. Instead of watching reboots and sequels like the new Ghostbusters and The Last Jedi, you can watch the original Ghostbusters and Star Wars. Instead of taking your kids to transgressive animated movies like Turning Red, Lightyear, and Strange World, show them wholesome animated movies like Snow White, Charlotte's Web, and The Hobbit.
What the articles tells me is that getting women into science is simply not worth the trouble; each time some broad opens her piehole, we lose a luminary.
Can you imagine if this nonsense had been around while Richard Feynman was still alive?
And while I can't find it at the moment, I recall a Nepalese study that found similar results for "Western-style" grade schools but, interestingly, not for "Islamic" ones.

Look, SkookumTree has staked his whole reputation on this. If he doesn't do it, he will never be able to show his face around here again; anytime he tried to wade into the culture war thread, he would be dismissed with "isn't there a Hock you should be doing?" The mods can stop us from posting it, but nobody can stop us from thinking it. Skookum would become the laughingstock of the entire forum. What's he supposed to do, delete his account?
Better to die with dignity.
While I don't think you should start having babies the second you turn 20 years old
You are right; better to get started as teenagers.
Which is certainly a problem if you lose such a conflict, but if a clear assessment of relative power indicates you're much, much more likely to win, how is your opponents ceasing to exist forever not a goal to be much desired, enough to be worth suffering serious losses to attain?
Nobody starts a war unless they are confident they can win. Yet, many lose. Humans are irrationally self-confident and overoptimistic. As the infamous Konkvistador said: "War is computation with tanks. War is truth revealing. As war proceeds uncertainty collapses."
Perhaps a perfectly rational being could take into account the meta-uncertainty, and only go to war when they were a thousand times sure they could win. But for mere humans, a willingness to coexist acts as a deontology to prevent you from making that kind of costly mistake.
Yes. This other tweet makes it even more obvious:
For the cost of one year of aid to Ukraine you can
- Build every homeless American a two story mansion
- Keep social security solvent through Q3 of 2094
- Double number of bases around China
And still have enough left over for major tax cuts!
Republicans are just saying enough.
Men need to take sex when they can get it.
No, they don’t.
If you don't, Brand will, because there is nothing to stop him. So you might as well take what you can get. Like unto a communal plate of French fries; such is the tragedy of the commons.
To solve the problem, need to privatize the commons.
But unsafe cities aren’t an intractable problem or ‘inevitable’ as a result of housing type, the cleaning up of New York shows that it’s entirely and absolutely possible to reduce violent crime rates by 80%+ across the board and to bring law-abiding people back to the cities.
The temporary cleaning up of New York shows it's impossible. It's a cycle.
Dangerous cities drive out PMC whites Normies/immigrants vote for safe cities Safe cities bring in PMC whites PMC whites vote for depolicing and crime Dangerous cities drive out PMC whites
Reminds me of the hard times meme.
The Luigi and Peach jailbreak reliably produces NSFW. Make sure you have DeMod installed, though, or you will get banned.

Jim Crow worked and lasted for a long time. So did slavery. Those are sane, stable solutions to the problem of having a racial underclass that is much less intelligent, much more impulsive, and much more violent than average.
