And there’s experiments to run, there is research to be gunned
- Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally 3 weeks ago:
By design, they don’t know how they work. It’s interesting to see this experimentally proven, but it was already known. In the same way the predictive text function on your phone keyboard doesn’t know how it works.

Yes, our time system is weird
- Comment on Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't? 3 weeks ago:
I hadn’t heard of most of those examples besides burnt/burned, but I do know of learned/learnt, which hasn’t been mentioned.
- Comment on The most significant factor standing in the way of human progress is people themselves. 3 weeks ago:
Humans are both uniquely good at getting things done in groups, but also make terrible decisions as groups.

You think pictures of children is porn? If that’s the case, you maybe the one with the problem. There is nothing sexual in the image you linked.

Indiana Jones actually claims to be an archeologist, he would be a better target.

What does have to do with the energy efficiency of eating your own children?
- Comment on There's been a massacre! 4 weeks ago:
How is that ever going to provide more energy than you put into it? That makes Matrix levels of sense.

Do you mean ðe? Thorn is pronounced like the th in thing, not the th in the
- Comment on the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything 4 weeks ago:
It’s raining. It’s cold outside. It is the case.
- Comment on I look forward to the day AI becomes sentient and takes over. It can't be dumber than the people currently in charge. If it starts destroying everything I'm comforted by the fact we dont share genes. 4 weeks ago:
Within 200 years it’s likely either the world will be turned into paperclips, or AI will be powerful and aligned enough that it can do everything we want it to. It will initially be in the hands of the rich, but once 80% of people are unemployed and starving, there’ll be a revolution to put the AIs in the hands and service of the people and we’ll have a post scarcity socialist utopia.
Wither way suffering is reduced (you can’t suffer if you’re a paperclip), so I’m optimistic.

BMI doesn’t factor in muscle mass, so that’s one thing to keep in mind.
- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 4 weeks ago:
And none of those y axes start at zero, which is additionally misleading as it exaggerates the level of change.
- Comment on How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 5 weeks ago:
It depends on how you define angel.
- Comment on Would racism in the USA still exist if humans had automated robots in the 1800s? 5 weeks ago:
That must depend on location, here in the UK it’s only ever pronounced a-rub (u is the the oo in foot)
- Comment on Is it weird to sometimes wonder wether everything you know is wrong? 5 weeks ago:
As a trans person, I have various mental illnesses. None of them is ‘being trans’, bit it’s likely some of them are related, particularly gender dysphoria. In regards to your actual question, I’m so glad you’re evaluating your beliefs! Everyone should deconstruct and know why they believe the things that they do - and if there’s no good reason, to stop believing them - regularly. It’s the sign of a curious and humble mind.

- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 1 month ago:
We already have it, they’re called nuclear bombs, and MAD.
- Comment on how do i become a Scientologist? 1 month ago:
It’s easy enough to become one, as it is any cult member, if you want to. Just approach a member of the cult, ask to join, and give them your life savings. But why would you want to?
