I don't think he's suggesting that the computer would be put in charge, just that it would be able to look up and learn all the laws, find one you've broken, and report you. Yudkowsky is overlooking the fact that this would then require the police to give a poo poo and actually do something about it, the prosecutor to consider it a worthwhile use of resources, and the whole thing to go before a court and not get thrown out as a waste of everyone's time. Like, you can call up the police and tell them your neighbour cut a $20 note in half or swore on a train, and a hypothetical AI could also do that, but in both cases the police will not do anything about it.

But what if the police are also AI robots and the prosecutor and jury and judge and everyone else are also AI robots? Then they can come to your house and steal you in the night and throw you in prison and only the AI robots will know

After seeing that collection of stanley cups I decided to look them up. The normal ones go for between $35 and $50 usd. That's a very expensive collection of lovely cups.

This is also why for like, a decade or two a lot of fast food joints had lovely plastic cups that had really tiny and really unstable bottoms that just expanded outwards dramatically after a few inches. Now most of them have gone back to waxy cardboard cups, here in my state at least.

They went viral after a lady posted about how her car burnt down but the mug in the center console still had ice, and the company capitalized on it buy buying her a new car.

quote:

Arguments in favor of "decolonization" often break apart once you engage with the real world.

Four quick examples related to nationhood:

— Many US slaves were freed and returned to Africa where they created a "decolonized" independent nation: The failure that is Liberia.

— Another colonized nation became independent in 1804: The basket case that is Haiti.

— One was never colonized for more than a handful of years: The intermittent war zone and occasional basket case that is Ethiopia.

— And the one that broke free of colonial white rule most recently: The previously-promising but now full basket case that is Zimbabwe.

There's also this: Some of the Sub-Saharan nations today that are doing best are those which have replaced white "neo-colonialism" with Chinese "neo-colonialism".

Those Stanley tumblers are pretty legit. Way better than the yetis. My wife just got one since her job requires water bottles to be non spill. Can confirm they keep ice for days just being topped up with cold water. I've been running back and forth filling it for her for the last few days on only a couple ice fill ups. They're easy to clean and heavy enough to give someone a concussion with pretty easily.

I grew up in the town where Stanley used to be headquartered and manufactured so it's weird seeing them be this huge viral sensation. Can't speak to their tumblers but I've got a thermos that's well over a decade old and still keeps drinks hot/cold for far longer than I've ever needed. One of these guys:
