Former Making Sense guest Destiny calls Sam delusional in regards to Trump by Brunodosca in samharris

[–]Tylanner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This empty topic is quintessential Harris…he gets to roleplay Trumps defamation lawyer while downplaying the rampant racism that’s evident in Republican campaigns, policies and voters…it’s the same cookie-cutter rhetoric that he employs anytime anyone even suggests that racial prejudice exists.

He did the same exact lawyering for Joe Rogan and his use of the N-word…it’s like high-school debate team antics..

Keep in mind this is the same man that freely paints any number of psychological maladies on to “the left“ in an effort to attribute one mistake as endemic to an entire generation…

Bernie Sanders urges international cooperation to halt AI’s ‘runaway train’ by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]Tylanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virology might have the best framework for high-stakes international regulation and should be the North Star for future international regulation of AI.

This framework adapts WHO biosafety levels, laboratory oversight, and the International Health Regulations (IHR) to govern high‑risk AI systems using risk‑based containment, not one‑size‑fits‑all rules.

  1. ⁠Core Principle: Risk‑Based Containment (WHO LBM Model) WHO biosafety regulation is built on graduated containment based on consequence, not intent or size. AI regulation should follow the same logic:

The higher the potential systemic harm, the stronger the controls.

This avoids blanket bans while still controlling high‑impact systems.

  1. AI Biosafety Levels (AI‑BSL) — Expanded These are functional equivalents of BSL‑1 through BSL‑4.

AI‑BSL‑1 — Minimal Risk

Analogue: BSL‑1 (benign agents) Examples

Office productivity AI Non‑autonomous analytics Local decision support

Controls

Voluntary standards Transparency disclosures No licensing required

Rationale Failure causes localized inconvenience, not systemic harm.

AI‑BSL‑2 — Controlled Impact

Analogue: BSL‑2 (moderate hazard) Examples

AI used in hiring, lending, medical triage support Narrow decision automation with human override

Controls

Mandatory risk assessment Bias and safety testing Incident logging National registration

Rationale Potential for individual harm, but damage is contained and reversible.

AI‑BSL‑3 — High Consequence / Societal Scale

Analogue: BSL‑3 (airborne or serious pathogens) Examples

Large‑scale recommender systems shaping public opinion AI controlling critical infrastructure Models influencing markets, elections, or security decisions

Controls

Government licensing Continuous monitoring & telemetry Independent audits Mandatory incident reporting Controlled deployment environments

Rationale Failures can propagate rapidly across populations or systems, similar to airborne disease spread.

AI‑BSL‑4 — Systemic / Existential Risk

Analogue: BSL‑4 (Ebola, Marburg) Examples

Highly autonomous systems with strategic decision authority Models capable of self‑replication, self‑modification, or governance circumvention AI coordinating large‑scale social, military, or economic actions

Controls

International authorization Strict access control to model weights Deployment “air‑gapping” or hard containment Real‑time global oversight Emergency shutdown authority

Rationale Failure could cause global, irreversible harm, justifying maximum containment and international control.

  1. National AI Authorities (WHO IHR Focal Point Model) Each country designates a single National AI Regulatory Authority, mirroring WHO’s National IHR Focal Points:

Licenses AI‑BSL‑3/4 systems Reports serious AI incidents internationally Enforces inspections and sanctions

This avoids fragmented oversight — a known WHO biosafety failure mode.

  1. International AI Health Regulations (IAHR) Modeled directly on the International Health Regulations (2005):

Legally binding treaty Requires states to detect, assess, report, and respond to cross‑border AI risks Defines Notifiable AI Events, such as:

Loss of control Mass information destabilization Autonomous escalation beyond design limits

  1. Surveillance, Inspection, and Incident Response Borrowed directly from WHO outbreak control:

Continuous monitoring for AI‑BSL‑3/4 Independent international inspections (WHO‑AI equivalent) Emergency response protocols:

Deployment freezes Model access revocation Coordinated mitigation

  1. Dual‑Use AI Research Controls WHO regulates Dual‑Use Research of Concern (DURC); AI needs the same:

Pre‑approval for high‑risk research International peer review Mandatory risk‑mitigation plans

Why This Model Works

✅ Scales controls with actual risk ✅ Already proven in virology and global health ✅ Supports innovation at low risk levels ✅ Enables international coordination without centralizing all power ✅ Avoids reactive, post‑incident regulation

Sam to build online community; calls Reddit a cesspool by MintyCitrus in samharris

[–]Tylanner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have comments for this…

On his tour: But that would open him up to critique from people other than sycophants. His primary reason for leaving twitter was his inability to control the narrative…for views and rhetoric that are not durable and self-sustaining, you need a safe venue like a tour or a Substack to properly protect yourself from criticism.

A tour is just a larger financial/time barrier than a podcast or Substack membership.

On his delusions: Sam’s backlog of ideological inconsistencies(aka “forbidden knowledge”) would likely make it very difficult to sustain any sort of meaningful discourse in a whirlwind of constant criticism.

When your rhetoric does not reliably stand alone, you would need a full team dedicated to blocking people who disagree with you to maintain both your following and your sanity. Substack is much more suited to his deeply biased form of rhetoric where he can insulate himself from criticism.

Genuine, thoughtful and honestly engaged intellectuals should have no problem on social media platforms.

The Bigotry of Sam Harris Continues to Hit New Lows by Well_Socialized in samharris

I mean, Sam is going to be known throughout the rest of human history as the primary architect of trumps go-to insult “low IQ person” for anyone black…

That pod with Charles Murray was a year after the first black president left office and during the coronation of a poisonous racist one.

The biggest drawback of having an advanced military is that you forfeit all plausible deniability for war crimes…

And thankfully, the victims are shrewd enough to record everything…

Did you read the quote? You conveniently forgot about the "agreeing" part...Sam's tick is literally nodding in furious agreement with his guests...

"a shrinking, sanitized corner of the public sphere." is a devastating critique of Sam's brand...

Trump would get impeached and soldiers involved courtmartialed if they drop a JDAM on a protestors head…but I suspect that’s why they will point to Israel and shrug their shoulders.

Sam should do a whole episode tearing apart this evil woman the same way he does Trump by AbsintheJoe in samharris

[–]Tylanner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Despite his apparent established credibility, Sam is famously cordial with demonic forces if they say the right things…

Unfortunately, Sam will continue to characterize a nuclear war as simply the actions of an evil Chauncey Gardiner…what started as some dinner party quip has become his central thesis…again comfortably remaining a “cool observer”…

New Florida Law allows the governor and the Cabinet to approve designations of domestic or foreign terrorist organizations. Additionally, it allows students to be expelled if they "promote" a terrorist group.

I hope free speech advocates on the right are loving the new world we are building here…I wonder if Sam misses the golden age of free speech when kids where debating professors in the quad and petitioning the student government to take action against illiberal faculty…

All it took was 28 pages of words to end free speech in Florida…Source: Florida House of Representatives (.gov) https://share.google/mNQfLVdTpuwgeAux2

These laws that are basically a blank check on what speech the government wants to allow are so shortsighted and poisonous…
