Do you think he understands everyone else's though processes? Presumably if you were surrounded by guys like him then you would be able to comprehend the way they think.

Now imagine it's your children too.

Very true. And we have to remember that our own views are informed by years of study/observation in areas other people will not have paid any attention to. So often it would take a book worth of real life examples to give someone the same background experience, and they would have to read that book carefully over many months for those examples to sink in, and still then they might think those are cherry-picked examples, whereas you came across them organically.

Thanks for the inside view. I never knew a lot of the survey takers came from mobile games or that spending could be tracked.

They're already regulating social media...in all the wrong ways. Age verification is just the start.

They could have an AI tweak the statistics if they seem unrealistic

That someone is Peter Thiel according to this: https://corbettreport.com/the-stupidest-poll-of-all-time/

Why are they in lemmy.ml? Because they wanted to congregate somewhere and Lemmy was made by far left people and is federated so it's probably a good choice to avoid censorship.

Why do they admire authoritarian regimes? Each may have a different reason but one common reason is because those regimes are anti-western or socialist/communist. So if you're socialist/communist, hate a lot of aspects of the west or just like rooting for the underdog but still want a big team you can throw your support behind then those countries are the obvious choice. Of course you can be socialist, communist or anti-western without supporting authoritarian regimes, but then you basically have to admit that every time socialism/communism has been tried it has failed and you may be discomforted by the thought that there's no powerful countries fighting for humanity and become hopeless.

Why are people socialist/communist? Usually because they see a lot of problems with capitalism, often to do with inequality, while socialism/communism promises total equality and fairness.

Why are people anti-western? I wouldn't say the people we're talking about are consistently anti-western, since they don't oppose many things the modern west represents, like LGBTQ, technology, “democracy”, human rights, common law, federalism, hedonism, progressivism, etc. It seems to me they only dislike the aspects they’ve been told to dislike by western mainstream media and education, which focuses on things like the Atlantic slave trade (rather than slavery in Africa, the middle east, eastern Europe, pre-Columbian America or literally anywhere else in all of world history) and Nazi Germany (rather than Communist Russia, China, North Korea or Cuba).

I think it's debatable who is worse. The country who killed hundreds of thousands of civilians with nuclear weapons and millions more in world domination efforts including soft power and manipulation, or the country who killed hundreds of thousands in a single communist purge, millions more in Holodomor and would probably have nuked cities if they had invented nukes first. Several other countries are/were similarly bad and many others would be if they had sufficient power.

But they don't oppose everything the west represents. Like technology, LGBTQ, "democracy", common law, federalism, etc. It seems to me they only dislike the aspects they've been told to dislike by mainstream media and education, which focuses on things like the Atlantic slave trade (rather than slavery in Africa, the middle east, eastern Europe, pre-Columbian America or literally anywhere else in all of world history) and Nazi Germany (rather than Communist Russia, China, North Korea or Cuba).

I agree. And your point applies to most technologies in fact. You learn and grow a lot more doing things the hard way that nature intended, as well as becoming more independent. Plus you're not helping the coming technological apocalypse.

But if we don't remove all guardrails to develop AI as fast as possible China is gonna do it and take over the world!

🤔

Well it's not just replaying arguments that have been scraped, its able to comment on new things like the novel Dawkins is working. LLMs can interpolate reasonable responses to new inputs, which makes it more intelligent that just comprehending and re-presenting existing information.

You are free to do so

Yet

Leacked? Is that a portmanteau of hacked and leaked?

I haven't found him in correspondence with Epstein, but Epstein did write "im in arizona with pinker dawkins venter". It seems most mentions of Dawkins are by Dawkins' and Epstein's mutual friend, atheist physicist Lawrence Krauss or Epstein's friend, new age leader Deepak Chopra.

This is why biometric verification was always a bad idea

Well you'll still be able to write novels and a few people might read them, particularly those you know. But AI is on track to soon write novels that are indistinguishable from novels written by humans, and don't expect AI-generated books to be labelled as such. But we'll have much bigger problems to worry about as the AI's are put to designing biological and nuclear weapons. A big undo on modern tech is the only solution.

Art is often hard. AI is not. The easy path usually wins with our human brains.
