  Passing information between two simultaneously existing entities? Get outta here! All cultures use the Jung collective unconscious to store knowledge!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a tragedeigh⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  In my daily dealings with fellow queers™, I find most people say “LGBT” in casual speech instead of other variations of the acronym, occasionally adding the “Q”, but I’ve never heard somebody casually drop a “LGBTQIA+.” I think we all know that LGBT is inclusive; that, or there’s a silent ellipsis at the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a tragedeigh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, I think we should just switch to using “queer” at this point. The Q covers everything.

  I don’t really understand what’s being implied here. Isn’t 30 > 15?

  It seems the subject of AI causes lemmites to lose all their braincells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Please read the comment more carefully. The observation is that one can proliferate a (legally-attained) work without running afoul of copyright law if one can successfully argue that cp constitutes AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, fair enough, I do agree that this is largely driven by capitalism, and if we didn’t have a capitalist society we would hopefully be going about this more cautiously. Still, I feel like it’s a unique enough situation that I would consider it its own x-risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes sense, and “just” is a filler word in English. I can see why in another language like German this would work fine. But in English, at least to me, this seems exceptionally clunky. The simplest explanation is simply that “just” isn’t generally used in a context where “what” is been elided, but maybe there’s a deeper reason why it sounds odd to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you’ve omitted “just.” If “just” were not in the sentence I would have instinctively filled it in with the missing words you’ve suggested. But I can’t reconcile “just” with any parse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so to be clear, you’re saying that AI x-risk is already partially or even mostly bundled under “We end stratified society and power disparity, or we die.”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention skynet. It always bothers me when people leave AI out of lists of x-risks. I guess it’s because a popular sci-fi movie predicted it would happen, so nobody takes it seriously. Or perhaps it’s just because AI is so unpopular now, nobody wants to devote any time to thinking about the ramifications of it becoming smarter.

  Hate slop, but I also approve of anything that makes it easier to wrest IPs away from Hollywood. Feeling conflicted and pessimistic.

  I didn’t say xor.

  Self-driving not being reliable yet is one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I stupid or is this sentence unparseable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m responding to the claim that everyone on the progress flag is already included on the pride flag. I am not expressing an opinion about whether a flag should or should not represent whatever group of people. Am I wrong that the person I am responding to implied that this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the word “kill” is typically used in warfare, not murder, so I’m not sure why you would say in this instance that it was written as though it wasn’t an act of war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if that were what he’s doing, I would still avoid using it as I’m a supporter of the public domain on principle. If something is essentially public domain, it should be fully public domain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why you would ask that. I’m responding to this claim:

  It was meant to include everyone under the rainbow so trans people and others are already included.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  pride flag indeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The progress flag is copyrighted by one Daniel Quasar, and he sporadically exercises his copyright on people who use the sell designs involving the progress flag. Or so I’ve heard. Anyway, for this reason, I avoid using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it meant to represent black and indigenous people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the very reason I’m surprised. These flags come and go by the winds of memetics; so why is it that this design is somehow able to propagate so well despite being so clearly visually incoherent?

  I’m not necessarily complaining, I’m just astonished that it caught on. Like imagine if a really discordant and structureless song became super popular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study finds persistent spike in hate speech on X⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Constantly means habitually. I can’t even begin to formulate an apology for persistent spike though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s to my benefit if other people take the time to fix their broken and bigoted family members. I wouldn’t recommend someone sever times. Just because you have had experience with stubborn people who can’t change doesn’t mean most people are like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  good idea, i’m sure they’ll get better on their own
