Real branding an actual startup went with

  • was there an ownership change or something? this is atrocious

  • i don't think she should be allowed to say "the ghetto." doesn't matter whether it's problematic when someone else says it, she definitely doesn't get to

  • i have already seen ai enthusiasts make quite clear that they imagine the purpose of formal theorem verification is to act as a bolt on for llms

  • oh my god lmao. finally we understand how that happened

  • so we now have an invitation to do an episode of posting through it, which is a (really really good) podcast on the far right. we pick a topic, no other specifics. i am thinking this can be something to do with rationalists and the far right, probably something race sciencey.

    SSC leaps to mind but im not sure that's where ill want to start for an audience that doesn't necessarily know anything about rats. any thoughts?

  • i feel like people in real life would be far less likely to press the red button, because twitter is almost wall to wall nazis and real life is not

  • When I was about 12, I got into a discussion about the environment with another kid at school. She told me that it didn’t matter if we ruined the environment of the countries we all live in now, because we could all just move to the Arctic or Antarctica.

    this is the level the median hackernews poster thinks on

  • i'm in the middle of freefalling down a research rabbit hole and ran across this person decrying curtis yarvin as a fake monarchist who doesn't understand what makes REAL monarchism good:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/behindthebastards/comments/1iy4fto/moldbug_morons_and_monarchism_an_xpost_of_my/

    someone in the replies asks the obvious question

    Ok but what stops the monarch from being a tyrant

    and their answer is that you can just kill the monarch

    It's still One Person. A mortal, fleshy person. Their defence is that they're inoffensive, things are stable, nothing is directly their fault and people are bound by law and oath. But if they screw up badly enough that the things they're supposed to do don't happen? There's more of everyone else than One Person.

  • new odium symposium episode is now available on all platforms. we look Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini's Gender Without Identity, a contemporary work of queer psychoanalytic theory. then we look at a case study in which it all goes wrong.

  • when it's two rat inflected guys with bad politics doing this sort of thing
