that reads a lot like the well-meaning white people that were melting down in the spring of 2020 because "oh my god this is a new level of racist violence in the united states i can't believe it, it didn't used to be like this" and it's like wow tell me you didn't have any black friends growing up without telling me you didn't have any black friends growing up. and you don't wanna come down _too_ hard on those people because it's better that they're paying attention now rather than having their heads in the sand like previously, and more support against racist bullshit is a good thing. but sometimes you can make a snarky post about it a few years later

mystes posted:Obviously it's wrong to round up everyone of a certain ethnicity just because someone of that ethnicity did something bad once because that would be racial stereotyping. But have you considered that someone of [ethnicity] did [something bad] once? ugh please, READ THE QUOTE. people of [certain ethnicity] did [something bad] and THEN people of that very same ethnicity, did [a related bad thing]. That's TWO bad things, from people of the SAME ethnicity! Clearly it's not a one-off, better commit crimes against humanity Ok that's a far as I can take this joke. I do not support incarceration of people of [ethnicity], regardless of how many times people of [ethnicity] have done [something bad]

ehhhhquote:If this word machine is trained on the sum of human voices and experience, then it is in some capacity human or at the very least, like it said, it has the role to immortalise us take this as true. first consider the second side of the disjunct: "if something is trained on human voices and experience, then it has a role to immortalize us." what is 'trained'? probably "has as input." that's boring, but ok. so, anything that has the "sum of human voices and experience" - basically they mean "the internet", which is massively tilted towards certain perspectives, but let's ignore that for now - has a role to immortalize us. who cares? so does writing things down in a remotely durable medium. big whoop, op has said nothing at all interesting so take the potentially interesting side of the disjunct: "if something is trained on human voices and experience, then it is in some capacity human" so any process that has the internet as input, is in some capacity human. ok. so what? every observable system is "in some capacity" human if we can, when looking at it, anthropomorphize it. that's what it is to anthropomorphize something - view it as minded and human-like. we can anthropomorphize lots of things. dogs, bugs, rivers, ecosystems, etc. some of them we can give a logic - a framework for outcomes that could be called 'decisions' to. so he's saying that we can view things as human. no poo poo, that's not really saying anything. whether we ascribe moral worth and so on to a system that we view as "in some capacity human" is largely dependent on how _well_ viewing it as human predicts its outputs. how well the "this is minded" hypothesis explains the behaviors. in the absence of either a particular hypothesis about mindedness of a particular system and examples about the degree to which that hypothesis actually makes sense of that system's behavior, he hasn't actually said anything worthwhile.

the world would be better if more people called self-destructive bullshit "self-destructive bullshit" instead of "self-care," called antisocial behavior "antisocial behavior" instead of "praxis," called grifting "grifting" instead of "business savvy," stinginess "stinginess" instead of "not giving handouts," and so on of all the things to say that shame would help, though, addiction sure aint it, woof

i think "poggers" isn't actually used by normal Kids These Days, just the weird extremely online ones that would've been saying "roflcopter" out loud twenty-five years ago. "no cap," "based," etc on the other hand are just normal slang as far as i understand

i mean, every scientific theory we have is definitely wrong. but all the empirical results will be captured by future theories and current theories will be expressable with the concepts of future theories, and future theories will be able to explain the successes and failures of current theories thinking that anything we have today is right full stop is probably not a great strategy. but i mean, they're clearly closer than what we had 10/50/100/200 years ago and all that. and it's not like we're sure how are theories are wrong, if we knew that we'd change them to be right.
