I will just debate big brother to change their minds!

Sadly we talked about those here, and how unlikely they are to going to work, either in the future or ever. Also, think it was a fusion reactor.

Re being a transhumanists: Well that is why I personally dont like the term tescreal, as I do think there can be good transhumanists out there. The hot swappable furry sex organ transhumanists vs the I just want to code javascript faster transhumanists. (Meant as strawman of both, but Id prefer the first, esp as they are more likely to go the 'it should be available to all of us or none of us' route).

Personally I dont think I would mind living forever (or untill Im tired of it) given everyone gets the choice we stay healthy and have free stuff for example. But that will not happen under the Muskians/Rationalists/etc. (im remembering the moment I discovered one of the H+ people was spouting anti trans lines for example, they just want to personally live forever and fuck everyone else it seems).

E: ah they got told to leave.

They traded coal interstellarly, which always made me lol. Think a lot of the people who are this hype about the older sf simply have not read them again in ages. As blakestacey says, the golden age is 12.

He might have also lost a lot of money in betting markets re the nyc primary and his attempt at market manipulation us leading to more exposure of the guy. A very foot shooting moment.

I now imagine a date going 'hey what is wire heading?' before slowly backing out of the room.

Also dropped this in the other thread about this but some fam member I think is dropping some lols on the guy. https://bsky.app/profile/larkshead.bsky.social/post/3ljkqiag3u22z it gets less lol when you get to the "yeah we worried he might become a school shooter" bit.

Some people who know cremie are dropping some more lore on him. He apparently has a bit of a problem re lying about credentials and grades : https://bsky.app/profile/larkshead.bsky.social/post/3ljkqiag3u22z

I eas slightly saddened to scroll over his dating profile and see almost every seemed to be related to AI even his other activities. Also not sure how well a reference to a chad meme will make you do in the current dating in SV.

The Korean president should have been aware of biasses ghat would have stopped him falling for a cult.

So, Zelenskyy is goth?

Id tell them to contact local squatters who have exp in this stuff over trusting LLMs myself. But those people will prob not tell them what they want to hear.

But that isn't a proper copy, as in this simulated reality there is no basilisk (if there is the basilisk also needs to simulate basilisks, and all the way down), so finding out if you are a copy is easy. If it is impossible to build an AGI in our reality, we are in the sim.

Wait...

Sucks that a lot of reddit is also being botted. But yes reddit still good. Still fucked that bots take a redit post as input, rewrite it into llm garbage and those then get a high google ranking, while google only lists one or two reddit pages.

Lol ow haha, jesus, admitting he is the lw sysadmin might have been nice.

Amazing how both accounts refuse to directly answer the 'are you involved in LW/SSC' question, but work around that question so much (and get so defensive) that they are very suspicious.

There is a reason they picked books to speedrun and not games, speedrunning games takes skill.

Yeah, think that is prob also why a Thiel supports Moldbug, not because he believes in what Moldbug says, but because Moldbug says things that are convenient for him if others believe it (Even if Thiel prob believes a lot of the same things, looking at his anti-democracy stuff, and the 'rape crisis is anti men' stuff (for which he apologized, wonder if he apologized for the apology now that the winds have seemingly changed).

Yeah you are correct, im mismatching longtermism with transhumanist digital immortality, which is why I called it a conspiracy theory, it being wrong and all that. (Even if I do think empathy for perfect copies of yourself is a thing not everyone might have).

Clearly you do not have low self-esteem. But yes that is the weak point of this whole thing, and why it is a dumb conspiracy theory. (Im mismatching the longtermist 'future simulated people are important' utilitarian extremism with the 'simulated yous are yous' extreme weirdness).

The problems with yuds argument is that all these simulations will quickly diverge and no longer are the real 'you' see twins for a strawman example. The copies should then be ran in exactly the same situations and then wtf is the point. When I slam my toe into a piece of furniture I dont morn all the many world mes who also did just break a toe again. It just weird, but due to the immortality cope it makes sense for insiders.
