Yawn. One more “open source is dangerous and must be banned for the greater good” post.

No, sorry. I think it’s a now-deleted tumblr post, but I first saw it it on one of those reddit posts.
Am I missing something?
Yes: those indices are bullshit, and don’t measure what they purport to. I expect they’re faithfully reporting the results of whatever metric they constructed without falsifying any data, but that metric is entirely disconnected from what the median American would consider “freedom of speech.”
What you’re doing is essentially pointing at a map like this, and taking it seriously.
It’s called “defensive democracy,” and is standard practice in most of Europe.
The Aikido visualization exercise reminds me a bit of “follow-through” (such as in tennis): it’s weird how strongly the rest of your swing well after the ball has lost contact with your racquet affects its trajectory.
Or
Ctrl-K, the standard shortcut.
If you believed this, why would you write this post?
I think this moves between stages too quickly. Maybe a d12 or d20 would be better.
Also, it might be fun to allow the stages to decrease as well. Then you could start in the middle of your stages, with normal chess rules, and if the threat level decreases, the board becomes more “peaceful.”
This sounds like the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.
Someone (unclear who) made a whole bunch of these along the same vein: https://kennaway.org.uk/writings/Insanity-Wolf-Sanity-Check.html
Copying the puzzle into a text editor with even rudimentary bracket matching (I used Notepad++) might be helpful.
It’s much harder to prove you’re an arahant.
You accidentally touch a hot stove and don’t feel any pain.
This gives me an idea …. Relevant xkcd: link.
More safely, if this arahant resistance to heat works with capsaicin, you could win some chilli eating contests.
shit happens, I deal with it, and move on. (Because what’s the alternative? Not dealing with it.
What, in your view, distinguishes “civil society” from “party apparatus”? Is it a more meaningful distinction than them speaking English instead of Russian?
Also, what is the “harm” you think Yarvin’s analogizing the American ruling system to that of the Soviet Union has done?
They made a sequel to the lamp ad with a happy ending! Lamp 2.
You put in the same link twice.
How do you plan to overcome the laws
Why not try corvids first? They’re readily available in most places, and easy to work with, especially when the other options are elephants, great apes, cephalopods, and cetaceans.
Sure, they’re not gonna be superhumanly intelligent, but as a demonstration of transpecific communication capability, they strike me as a great initial target.
That’s one millionth of the bid, 0.0001%. I expect the hassle of the paperwork to handle there being more than one bidder to be more trouble than it’s worth, akin to declaring a dollar you picked up on the street on your income tax forms.
Fundamental values difference: I favor individual liberty, whereas a lot of you “AI safety” people strongly prefer tyranny over it, and I have no argument for the former you haven’t heard before.
This is just one more in the long line of “Oh no, people can prompt it to generate racial slurs,” “Oh no, it can tell people highly enriched uranium can be used to make nuclear bombs”, “Oh no, students can use it to cheat on their homework,” “Oh no, it can summarize biology papers,” “Oh no, it can take jobs from artists,” … your “Oh no, it can create disinformation/pornography” is more shit thrown at that wall.
