Wasn’t much ammo either.

I'm just sitting here with a bit of European culture shock.

I was thinking more about Grok explain people how to 'neg'. But that is also a horrible horror.

Related to the other killing by the border patrol people, Chad Loder noticed the reports on the shooting have some strange wording which might imply the cop shot was hit by another cop. (Assuming this is the same shooting).

In a way that they have been historically awful and thwarted by the courts is a thing that worries me. I'd expect that somebody the past 8 years went 'this time we will not be bogged down in that'. But considering they went 100% in on repression from day 1 I'm slightly less worried about that.

For context, going all in on day 1 is actually bad for them, when the nazis took over The Netherlands/Belgium they methods there differed. In .nl they worked slowly and with gov already there, in .be they went full pogroms a lot faster. This meant that in .be a lot of people saw the threat sooner (WW1 and Belgium prob also didn't help) and acted and took better care of the vulnerable. The amount of Dutch Jewish people who survived ww2 vs Belgian Jewish people is very tragic. (and a very dark part of our history which we don't really talk about like this as mentioning that parts of your own country also are to blame for the holocaust is not a thing a lot of people want to talk about). At least I hope that stuff like going all crazy on the bishop will turn out to be big wakeup for random Americans and a strategic mistake on their part, they certainly didn't seem to have learned from the nazis (at least not this lesson, which fits with how fascism is blind for their own mistakes).

The only one missing is dating, but that prob is extremely toxic if trained on online data.

I know a lot of people are looking for alternatives for programs as stuff is ennshitfying, rot economying, slurping up your data, going all in on llms etc https://european-alternatives.eu/ might help. Have not looked into it myself btw.

Ah yes that will be good for international relations and the morale of law enforcement and anti cybercrime people. Lol it is all so stupid.

This and the releasing of the jan 6 people who assaulted cops (one cop who testified against them got a shitton of messages they got early release) is going to do wonders. Not that it will shake the belief of a lot of people that the repubs are the party of back the blue and law and order.

Fyi, this is not the place to either show random ai meme images somebody made (unless they are related to how crazy the ai people/Rationalists are for believing in the tech) nor the place go 'they are gay for each other'[implied it being bad].

Also see what Sartre said on how anti semites use words. They delight in bad faith.

Musk heard about the 'gamer words' and because so many called him a fake game he went out and did nazi salute, he feels bullied really.

E: reality is even dumber, in what is prob an attempt to distract from the nazi salutes he admits to cheating, using the 'everybody does it' defense. Of course he also thinks he did nothing wrong, in a way that would make Sartres skin crawl. Poor Grimes, face bitten again.

This clip from bsky put it next to (I think) a clip from american history X, and he even pulls the same face

E: Dutch onion news site Historians: Hitler did the Musk greeting. lol. (The only 'news' in .nl which I so far have seen it call a nazi salute openly btw, so not going well here).

The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

"No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"

Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
