Click the link for a brutal thread on AI research in industry, the thing Yudkowsky fears.

(SolTerrasa, any opinion on this?)

Just came up in the alt-right thread: Counter-Currents: Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid vs. Ethnonationalism. Not too long for a "what the gently caress did I just read." And it's kinda comforting to see these guys hate themselves as much as they hate everyone else.

Can we have more stupid people pontificating with plastic skulls in the background and less anime derail?

Trouble is, anime is on-topic for this thread. The answer to "wtf" in DE and Rationalism is always anime.

I've been told Milo is having/had a meltdown because nobody's paying attention to him and nobody wants to book him as a speaker at anything. I'm not going to check because I don't need the google results for milo on my mind but it was nice hearing that he's apparently fully washed up and miserable at least. Burn in hell you gently caress :3:

here's the direct link to that Milo comment. (You need to be logged into Facebook for it to go to the comment.) Here's the text:

quote:

Over the past three years, I have spent literally millions of dollars trying to do talks, speeches, events, rallies and protests, to say nothing of all the stuff I do behind the scenes I can never tell you about. A lot of that money was my own wealth, from before I even started in journalism. My events almost never happen. It’s protests, or sabotage from Republican competitors or social media outcries. Every time, it costs me tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. And when I get dumped from conferences, BARELY ANYONE makes a sound about it — not my fellow conservative media figures and not even, in many cases, you guys. When was the last time any of you protested in the street at the treatment meted out to me or Pamela Gellar or Mike Cernovich or Alex Jones? I have repeatedly put myself in harm’s way in service of American values. My annual security bill amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars — just so my husband and I don’t get killed going for sushi. I have to make that money somehow just to stay afloat, and that doesn’t scratch the surface of staff costs, insurance, your insane American taxes. I’ve fought bitterly and endlessly for freedom in a country I don’t even belong to — not for my benefit, but for yours. I have been betrayed and abandoned by everyone who ever called themselves my friend, with a small handful of notable exceptions. I was a significant factor in Donald Trump getting elected, for which I have received zero credit. I almost single-handedly ignited the current debate about free speech on campus and NO ONE has ever matched my ability to draw attention to these issues. For my trouble, I have lost everything standing up for the truth in America, spent all my savings, destroyed all my friendships, and ruined my whole life. At some point, you realize it’s occasionally better to spend the money on crabs and cocktails. If anyone has a problem with that, then frankly they can go gently caress themselves. All I ever read here is criticism and ingratitude. You guys have no idea what I have sacrificed for you, and you think just because I drown my sorrows with a few expensive bottles of wine, you’re justified in calling me lazy and self-involved. I don’t advertise my selflessness, because I’m not a victim. But for the love of God show some recognition of what your front-line warriors have accomplished on your behalf, you entitled loving babies. YOU WILL KEEP LOSING until you support those of us out there on the front lines while you tweet and Facebook from your living rooms.

Resurrecting this thread because this is a p good video about the perils and pitfalls of naming "rationality" as your guiding principle.

doesn't reach the punchline, dammit. But if only the rationalists would get suitably upset.

Pfff, that's actually r/ssc.txt. That Twitter account is a fraud!

r/ssc is so rabidly right-wing these days that their weekly Culture War threads could fill up a thread of their own.

to the point where /r/sneerclub has occasional moratoria on /r/slatestarcodex content
