I don't particularly want that end result, but I find it hard to argue against murderous force on principle. The arguments supporting it seem obviously correct; the protests against it seem sincere, well-meaning, and completely wrong.




Well the Zizians also found it hard to argue against murderous force on principle, and instead ran a nice empirical experiment for us. It turns out it’s a bad idea.

Well sometimes in traffic the left lane moves slower than the other lanes, even when there is no jam and the cars are just tightly packed.

  1. Yes
    2. 

  2. No, rolling stop is fine in many cases for stop signs or right turn on red
    3. 

  3. No, a large truck and a sports car do not have the same safe operating speed
    4. 

  4. No, when there is traffic all lanes should be utilized.
    5. 

  5. Not if it’s a safety hazard
    6. 

  6. No
    7. 

  7. Yes?
    8.

In my opinion this was a disasterclass by Musk and extremely embarrassing for him. He didn’t like the bill… fine. But to completely burn the bridge with Trump after already burning the bridge with all Democrats? Unhinged behavior.


When king/arch-merchant alliances turn sour, the king always wins and the arch-merchant ends up dead or bankrupt. I would have expected Kekius Maximus to remember his Roman history better.

Either a zoonotic virus crossed over to humans fifteen miles from the biggest coronavirus laboratory in the Eastern Hemisphere. Or a lab leak virus first rose to public attention right near a raccoon-dog stall in a wet market.




He can’t even into Bayes. There are many thousands of raccoon-dog stalls in  China. There was exactly one BSL-3 lab in China. There was exactly one lab studying GoF on human coronaviruses.

I agree that it is fundamentally just a lazy attempt to apply a negative label to people the users of the term don’t like. It’s like “the left are the real racists.” It’s supposed to be a “gotcha” but it doesn’t really work in practice.

The problem is Russia feels like it can simply win outright, at this point. Therefore, to achieve a peace that reflects the current EV of the war, Ukraine has to accept a deal that is worse than the current status quo. They will never do this, so the most likely outcome is a complete victory for Russia.

Eliezer disappeared at the height of his power and influence. He could have been much more impactful on AGI development but he was too tired from writing a fanfic and being a micro-celebrity. He relegated himself to side-character territory at best.
