The war on weird looking people continues. (The false positive/negative rate of this bs is immense. Wait a 69% succes rate? Ow god the false positives on that are going to be immense (even worse, the model works worse than random chance on a online game dataset, and then also the statistical uselessness of 69% due to low amount of pedos in general public isn't even mentioned in the conclusions, toss this where it belongs, in the dustbin of history).

Ah yes the more leftwing themotte user tracingwoodgrains. They place their windows in really strange places over there.

(For people not up to date on The Lore, he is one of the people who is behind TheSchism, an attempt to create TheMotte (sorry not going to explain that one today) with less rightwing assholes, the result)

Fun fact, I looked at that article. And my monitor exploded. No joke. I was in sudden darkness, and the mains were turned off. Pc survived thankfully, and I have a secondary monitor but lol wtf. (I need to go to bed).

Judit Polgár

Sadly, I know where this goes, they will just point out she is Jewish and point to that. (I think SSC even did that).

The social safety net here is so poor that even the amount you get for unemployment is the same as it was decades ago, which doesn’t pace with inflation and can’t even cover rent anymore.

In .nl our far right gov has seen this and decided to uncouple unemployment and wages/inflation as well. So yeah lol.

Because the community has both racists, sexists and facists. None of whom are real nor should they be avoided or shunned!

a solar-powered self-replicating factory

Only, it isn't a factory. As the only thing it produces is copies of itself, and not products like factories do. Von Neumann machines would have been a better comparison

You don't understand, after we invent ~~god~~ AGI all our problems are solved. Now step into the computroniuminator, we need your atoms for more compute.

AGI growth lol from twitter

Edit: somebody also Did The Math (xcancel) "I eyeballed the rough numbers from your graph then re-plotted it as a linear rather than a logarithmic scale, because they always make me suspicious. You're predicting the effective compute is going to increase about twenty quadrillion times in a decade. That seems VERY unlikely."

Paul never evolved beyond that blog post (Edit: this one, which he wrote when he was 40 years old) he wrote about the poor nerds sadly. And the the whole nerd/jock thing has not really been relevant for ages anyway, superman plays warhammer ffs.

I figured out this manifesto exists because somebody from the EFF posted: "Nothing depresses me like the knowledge that I am going to have to spend some of my precious workday reading a manifesto." So expect a lot of sanity damage.

(Read the opening, yep, got 1d8 from that already. I'm raising the 'the invention of letters was a mistake' flag).
