Haven’t read the book, but the article linked (and a lot of political neuroscience in general) makes it appear the author believes there are only 2 ideologies; liberal and conservative which is itself a wild idealogy… Can anyone who has read it or other work by her confirm/deny that?
The context for the DEFUSE program is that SARS-cov-1 was of pretty significant concern that it could mutate into a global pandemic similar to the Cov-2 pandemic that actually happened. The program was funded to investigate, learn and prepare for what were predicted to be some of the more dangerous possible mutations.
The “smoking gun” here is all correlation. Saying “they predicted correctly what was dangerous and were proactively studying it” is not a good argument for causation.
However, the theory that I haven’t seen well debunked/studied is that improper handling/disposal of dead viruses/plasmids/etc. increased the risk of/allowed for recombinants with the endemic Cov strain resulting in those mutations of greatest concern… Have you come across anything on that?
Ah yes, because criminals are subhumans who should be exterminated like the cockroaches they are. And if we can’t take the trash out back like we should we can at least make it not our problem and make sure the cockroaches aren’t in our backyard. That’s what you’re saying right?
I mean, let’s assume that we somehow regulate AI so that people have to pay to use copyrighted works for training (as absurd as that is).
ISBNDB approximates there to be 158,464,880 published books in existence.
Meta’s annual income was ~156 billion last year.
Assuming a one time purchase scenario and a $20 average cost that’s ~3.2 billion dollars. ~2% of their annual revenue.
Or you could assume assuming a $0.2 annual license (similar to a lot of technology licenses), or a 0.002 per “stream” (which I. This instance would be ‘use of data to train model’)
I agree with most of what you said, but if you buy into a lot of the economic paradigms your arguments are based on you must also realize that those require the copyrighted works must be paid for and it’s not unreasonable to do so.
Hell, nowadays most major corporations do this. Just nobody uses the scare word “propaganda” to describe it.
One look at that website should be pretty obvious it’s an incredibly biased and low effort source. I don’t doubt the general outline of the article as this seems like pretty standard colonizer/empire shit, but it also isn’t the “gotcha” you seem to think it is…
As well as the original story as reported by Skynews before they replaced it in lockstep with other media.
How would you make it more reliable?

“Why don’t you want to compromise with the leopards? They don’t want to kill you, just let them lick your nose a bit. That would be cute, right!?”
I think you misunderstand that I’m talking exclusively about electoralism. It can be a useful tool, but it’s largely a scam.
I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.
Can you please not just roll over and die. I’m begging for you to put up an ounce of resistance now before you need to put up a gallon later.
“THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION” because you accept the options that you are given and try to convince others that they are acceptable options. They are not, stop deluding yourself.
People are “just going to fold over” because you keep telling them to! Stop doing the fascist’s work, there are always other options but the fewer people who understand that means that more force per person is required to apply the needed pressure to make those options a reality.
You’re arguing from the premise that fascism is the only option and anything else is “fantasy”. Is that what you really believe?
I was promised riots and unrest when Roe V Wade was overturned and there was crickets instead. What are you going to do in November after the democrats get Trump elected? Do before to prevent that current inevitability?
What would you rather have?
A non-fascist option. Abortion access, housing, not the world’s highest incarceration rate (which Jim Crow Joe is directly, but not solely, responsible for.) etc.
You’re arguing from a false premise.
You mean far-right groups like Israeli officials = Zionists = genocidal terrorists?
Less than you would expect, this looks like it’s a good, balanced synopsis if you’re interested however you’re not wrong about it being a problem, and pointing out the PR/gaslighting that surrounds the issue.
Also it’s worth noting that SpaceX is using LOX-Kerosone because it’s “cheaper” than options which pollute much less (namely LH2-LOX) because the cost of the kerosene is “externalized” and you are correct that something like appropriate taxing could start to fix that issue and force them to make better decisions…
If you build a base on/near a bunch of ore nodes and dedicate it entirely to mining your pals will mine it for you and it respawns daily (passive ore generation ftw!!!)
Tbh a little bit outside my wheelhouse but Lance Fortnow had a proof showing that all the implementations of quantum computing could be modelled using a Quantum Turing machine and are more complex forms of probabalistic automata. It’s technically not, because a finite state machine can also be called a deterministic finite automata where a probabalistic automata is a Nondeterministic finite automata.
So no… But also mostly the same principle just with fuzzy logic.
Depends how far you stretch the definition. Those listed are a subset of RASP machine models, which are a subset of turing machines, which is a subset of finite state machines, but as far as “general purpose computing architectures” that’s about it as far as I’m aware… Unless you get into weird application specific stuff like differentiable neural computers.
You could also go the other way and look at how the basic principles of those architectures get expanded on IE Von Neumann -> ARM -> Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) -> Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) -> etc.
So… Just like probation?
A good tool/exercise for analyzing your (and other’s) beliefs is logic trees, with the goal of taking any complex belief and determined what your core axioms are, being on the lookout for tautologies (God is real -> because the Bible says so -> because God is real…) and axioms that don’t hold up to scrutiny.
If you do the exercise correctly then you should find that most of those “beliefs that can’t be objectively proven or disproven” have belief dependencies that can be objectively (and often easily) proven/disproven.
