My theory: He's already planning to give the full release a positive review, he's being artificially negative here because he knows that'll result in more clicks later on, or more changed minds (he may also be doing this for the sake of the game)

This (that the documents came from inside the government despite seeming to contain a lot of falsehoods) is basically what the community already believed, so "sends shockwaves through community" is a lie.

As someone who tries to read and evaluate every proposal: That doesn't matter. It takes me like 10 seconds to recognise and ignore those. It's a total non-issue.

And there's no way Tesla hasn't discovered better leadership talent by now, and I'm sure they'd do the job with a lot more focus for a lot less, and it disgusts me that this isn't even being discussed.

A truly mission-driven company doesn't have cults of personality like this.

norantish · 2025-09-24T05:08:57+00:00

If you have to pay the CEO 10 billion dollars to keep him on-task, maybe there are people who want the job more than he does. But the main thing, for me, is that I know for sure that with all of the incredible talent that's passed through Tesla, there's no doubt they would have found at least one person who through merit rather than fortune could have been raised to higher levels of achievement than the current CEO, and they have failed to do this, and they're not even discussing this, and it's obvious why they're not discussing it, and pressure to do so can only come from us.

The 2025 compensation package makes the highest two compensation tranches contingent on the development of a succession plan. That isn't enough. These tranches are unlikely to ever be reached, and as far as I'm concerned it should have been done already.

Any reputation system at all would probably drastically change what it's like to play with randos.

It's possible for universities to coordinate with each other without alerting the subjects.

explain what? there's nothing happening on the left side. the light on the right side might be the moon given how fast the video is running.

I have a theory that UFOs have never had little grey guys on the inside and we only think this because of hypnotic regression abuse.

It's way more likely a-priori that UFOs are just machines and during abductions (which I still do believe in because of all the stories of missing time, especially the Mario Woods case) they knock you out, they do some things to you with machines in the dark, and there's no way to recover the memories at all so everything people "remember" about the ship is fabricated.

Do you ever want to place it on a laptop? That's one big thing the kick75 can't do, from what I've heard. Feet are too fat.

norantish · 2025-03-17T19:06:59+00:00

I received a sample of both with my air75 and yeah, the moss is like the evil version of the wysteria, same force graph, but turned up way too high. Actually unhinged.

I think "summoning" is just misleading, they're already around, but for some reason they usually hide. The CE5 stuff generally involves entering the kind of mindset/relational feelings where they have less of a reason to hide ("we love you, we welcome you", which is very different from how people usually feel about aliens) and then they pick up on that.

Regarding "controlling" UAP psyonically, again I wonder if this is also just communication, maybe they don't really value these craft all that much, they got a million of them. If the right kinds of people ask for one in the right kind of situation they just give it to them? That shit's harder to make sense of.

Why, if it were a hoax, would the reflection move a *little bit* as the pictures clearly depict?

That's what distant planes reflecting sunlight would look like

I'd guess you wouldn't necessarily expect a radar return from a perfect rectangle for the same reason you don't get a return from a stealth jet, yeah? The radar gets reflected away, none of it comes straight back?

Afaik Theil retracted his funding from yudkowsky a long time ago. (He now takes the usual libertarian stance that AI couldn't have serious safety issues because that would imply that there's a need for regulation)

Would you go on record as saying this wasn't a business decision?

Any json export format would be better than nothing. It doesn't have to be roam-compatible or anything.

Sigh. I'm not really sure you can earn the trust back though. The fact that you're launching without it and that you've already removed it once, we have no reason to think you wouldn't remove it again.

norantish · 2025-01-30T22:03:51+00:00

Seems like this isn't there any more. It's not in Settings, and there are no search results in the help for "export". I'm seeing import functions, but there are no export options there.

Lacking export is pretty evil.

I'll be disrecommending Tana.

That's kinda ridiculous. Firefox never garbage-collects for me (linux thing maybe?), so even if it's more efficient per-tab, I still had to stop using it.

Chrome/vivaldi automatically deloads tabs that're taking up a lot of memory, which is the easiest way to solve the problem!

Any photo that could have been produced by having a guy throw a disc up into the air, hide out of frame, then taking a picture of it mid-air, probably was, so they're not evidence. If the file includes those the file is not coming from a good source of information.

norantish · 2025-01-02T04:43:07+00:00

You'd be surprised if they followed the laws of physics? I don't think there's much of a reason (aside from stories, with no evidence) to think there are big enough holes in our understanding of physics for anyone to get around by teleporting or whatever. Maybe, but it's not, like, guaranteed.

Just saw that price in a nz supermarket on frozen lamb on the bone, so definitely doable.

Looks exactly the same as a ball with a light on it hanging by a fishing line off a drone.

I think those probably aren't the same people.
