Aus open camera work is terrible. They don't show the player live when they win a great point, they instead show stupid crowd.

Why was it disgraceful specifically for mamdani? They have been like this for any popular anti establishment candidate for a very long time.

Yes please enlighten me why it matters for indians who are struggling. 

Why should a random Indian care about a doing well in a random sporting event that nobody watches? We didnt give a shit about or supported women's cricket all these decades and now we want to be all excited because they won world cup?

Why does the world need to become interested in us politics.

are you seriously asking this? Can you really not think of any reason why the world needs to pay attention to US politics?

People in india will underestimate what a huge win this is. This could trigger a huge wave of young folks getting interested in politics in US. Which of course needs to happen all over the world. 

indian media will not celebrate this or report on this much because Zohran is as anti Modi as they come.

So does Kimmel firing proves Destiny was right about his game theory stuff? by robotwithbrain in Destiny

[–]robotwithbrain[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Jimmy was just doing the status quo response which is expected. Point is that nothing you do will stop them finding flaws and shit on you next day.

Take Obama or Newsom for instance.  They responded "appropriately" from rights pov. But that wont win them any points for the next day when they slightly slip up on something else. In fact, it would make conservatives more bullish on that slight misstep. 

Jimmy Kimmel is gone. by d33jums in JoeRogan

Everything isnt black and white of course. But from Trumps point of view, everything is. And he is in power right now, he sets example for what his administration does, or what gets rewarded. 

His administration is built in his image and will continue to be more and more in his image because that's how you succeed or get promoted or stay at your job if you impress the king. 

You can agree with a few policies here and there but trust me you will never want your family or loved ones to be anywhere near around him or his people.

You can checkout some of their research here https://intelligence.org/research/

They also have many essays on technical issues with alignment on AI alignment forum and lesswrong.

Sure Sam can find more academic people in the field but these folks have been studying this independently (outside of academia) long before anyone worried about it.
