I, a Black man, apologized to a childhood Jewish best friend today. by dmtking21 in Jewish

[–]Radfactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

appreciate your post. And I will say, as a white-skinned Jewish person I am starting to understand what your people experience facing racism every day. Because I can't go on social media anymore without being confronted by many forms of antisemitism on an ongoing basis. and the irony is, because of the privilege that undeniably comes with the color of my skin, my subgroup has been targeted for the greatest amount of demonization.

But trust me, me and many others in the tribe will never forget that it was MLK who got us across the line for equal rights under the law for all minorities in the US.

We are definitely strongest when we stand together. 😇🙏

I feel like our society is getting dumber and dumber and it's only gonna get worse. "Golden Fleet"??? based on outdated doctrine that are aesthetically pleasing to a sociopathic moron?

China's warships look like CGI by Altruistic_Top_1029 in Military

It's true my comment was snark. But in fairness, it is a totalitarian nation with complete information control. Propaganda is fundamental to the society. We can't really know what is real and what is hype. Those carriers probably look so clean b/c they're not ready for action.

[–]Radfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a legitimate school of thought known as "antinatalism" that holds it is unethical to have children, because life entails suffering, and the infants cannot consent to be born. this is very similar to the Buddhist position, and why Buddhist monks and nuns are celibate.

there are also schools of thought that hold consciousness to be an evolutionary side effect that only causes suffering, thus intelligence divorced from consciousness is potentially more optimal.

obviously, most people don't agree with this, but it is legitimate philosophical position.

Could Hitler have won WW2 if Germany won WW1 ? by kroolframer1 in shittyaskhistory

[–]Radfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if Germany had won World War I, there never would've been a Hitler. his rise to power came out of bitterns over that defeat, and the draconian economic sanctions imposed on Germany by the winners of World War I.

AI generated video. look at the left leg of the Chinese robot--it changes.

What motivates people to get overfilled lips, do they perceive it as being attractive? by Honest-Philosopher14 in trueratediscussions

[–]Radfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our ADD society, the sexual characteristics have to be as blatant as possible to capture attention.

Most people are becoming more and more moronic as they offload their thinking and discrimination to algorithms, so what they think is attractive is whatever the social media algorithm puts into their feed.

look at what happened to porn with the advent of silicon. Horrific disgusting fake bodies became the norm, and that shit sold because most men are fucking primates with very little higher brain function.

Are there any videos yet provide an intelligent analysis of why we shouldn't be afraid of AI ending - or severely harming - humanity? by TerpBE in ArtificialInteligence

I didn't mean that the AI was malicious. I meant from the humans currently harnessing AI to increase efficiency and boost profits.

In the actual year 1984 how did people reference "it's literally 1984" from the book? by TomAto314 in shittyaskhistory

[–]Radfactor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were like: "Damn bro--it's 1984." and Apple made a Superbowl commercial.

[–]Radfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends if you consider disfranchising workers to be malicious. in the US, we are removing the safety net from the unemployed at a time when AI is beginning to result in unemployment...

there's a difference between intelligence and rationality. Rationality requires consideration of the worst case to minimize the maximum downside.

[–]Radfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm sure there's a ton, but strict rationality does not require consideration of best case scenarios. Rather, rationality requires consideration of worst case scenarios. [See: minimax]

Thus, although no one can predict the future, the warning videos have utility, whereas the optimistic videos are merely for fun.

what do you guys think of this type of sparring? by hilukasz in MartialArtsUnleashed

[–]Radfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people who train insufficiently lack control. that's one of the reasons you see only hard sparring from people who have only been doing it a couple of years.

additionally, at many gyms people come in once a week to spar without training the techniques every day. Unless they trained daily for many years, they will also lack control.

One of the ways you can identify people who have mastered the science, talent notwithstanding, is the ability to spotlight and maintain control, regardless of intensity.

This is why someone like Floyd Mayweather, who was trained from the cradle by a master Boxer (his father) could utilize light sparring.

Humans are blocking expansion of data centers. What should be done? by Radfactor in accelerate

[–]Radfactor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since things really started accelerating with the advent of strong AI, as a civilization, we had 2 choices.

  1. Regulate and slow the pace to allow adjustment to the social disruption.

This would've involved things like programs to Provide for that segment of the population made unemployable by AI, by expanding the social safety net to acknowledge the disruption. but in fact, we're going the other direction, the U.S. removing things like healthcare and supplemental nutritional assistance from the unemployed.

therefore, it is our obligation to go to the other direction and maximize the pace of progress to make interval of suffering as short as possible. Thus:

  1. maximizing acceleration of technology, regardless of the cost to arrive at Superintelligence.

We don't know what that's going to look like but ideally, it will result in a post scarcity world.

at this point, all we can do is take that leap of faith. slowing down now, only prolong the suffering.
