eleven fucking billion with a B dollars
Sure in digital monopoly money, but how much was that in real money put into the system?

Amazing that this is the one thing they didn’t pick up clearly from science fiction (in which the (same) personhood of copies is often debated, and changes from place to place. (The Culture series does a ‘this copy isn’t conscious, but it is a very good copy of you which totally acts conscious’ in some cases, which some people of the Culture don’t even believe, so it is up for debate).
Bostrom, our employees are unhappy, do you have any advice?
‘Remember them that they should smile more’
I want to make a HN account and reply to the ‘depression and schizophrenia is or isn’t a hardware/software issue’ posters and tell them there is actually is a working IQ test, and they all just failed it.
Didn’t he leave because he thought the project was too important to be tainted with his bad reputation? Guess they really think they are at a masks off tipping point.
E: Also thanks brain for making me think that ‘Moldy’ fits perfectly in to ‘Bilbo’ from the ballad of Bilbo Baggins.
The article starting with ‘for 10 years you couldn’t go and see Sailer speak publically’ makes a bit angry as well. Thanks Scott, I hope the leopards will not eat your face.
The guy too much into race science even for themotte (eventually, after years, including a pretty horrible ‘great post’ nomination) got 100k followers on twitter? yikes.
Neo-folk is even worse. But all comes with the territory I guess, loads of negative attention from people who don’t understand the genre makes it easy to dismiss any criticism from outsiders, which the far right/abusive people love to use as plausible deniability.
Yes, sorry, I forgot that this isn’t that common term.
Also note that there is quite a lot of edge and badness in the metal scene, and a lot of this wasn’t shunned/no-platformed nor criticized as hard as it should be (metal is not punk), so these bands must have been quite extreme for them to go to these kinds of measures.
This reminds me of a story by somebody I knew who once was a libertarian once told me. He was into heavy metal, as a lot of people I know/knew are, and a libertarian so he was curious about NSBM, so he applied to go to one of those concerts and eventually he got a meeting point where they all gathered, and then they were bussed to the actual location of the concert (which was secret so kafka (our antifascist research group) couldn’t identify the location and do something about the fascists. Not many people I know really talk to this guy anymore (he has some ‘interesting’ opinions on borders now).
Anyway, mostly unrelated to the culty school, I was just reminded of this story of fascists doing reasonably good opsec. (And the failure of me and the metal community at large to not do something about this, can’t recall anybody (me included) to react to this enormous red flag in hindsight).
If you were to stick a pin in a timeline at the exact moment Silicon Valley declared war on Hollywood, it would likely land on Aug. 29, 1997. That’s the date Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph got together in Scotts Valley, about an hour south of San Francisco, and started a little DVD delivery company called Netflix.
Weird bit of critihype that ignores a massive amounts of things. Napster and Blockbuster for example. Massively overestimates the power of SV imho, and a bit ironic as of all the various media providers like Netflix, netflix is often not considered that highly from what I can tell. (In .nl iirc the big non-american providers are also the NPO and Videoland owned by RTL. Both traditional players in the market.
The cover is something but also think it is AI generated (the sabers don’t actually clash in the next second both of those nerds are getting enlightened by lightsaber), pretty sad they still copyright it to somebody.
I don’t know who that is. I still use a rotary phone.
I said please no bully, y you bully?
Yeah bad vibes on the undead sub. Amazed by the person goign ‘it can be hard to reach new people on the fediverse’ when there have been a lot more randos who don’t know what this place is here, and some threads went the lemmiverse equiv of viral.
Lol at them thinking sneerclub was a great intellectually potent place vs a place to say ‘look at this extremely offended dork’ a lot.
We have seen what they think we talk about vs what we actually talk about, and they def are not listening ;)
Scabs the lot of them!
Right, and then she gets less time than people who shoplifted a few times.
