I understand how "white" become the word for a sort of assumed racial default, but it's really annoying to have to play this weird motte-and-bailey when people don't understand or pretend not to understand that whiteness is not about skin pigmentation and never was. Wanna check my skin on a Pantone chart againts Hitler's and then guess which one of us he thought was merely an "honorary aryan"?

I wish we had a better word for it.

Me, a nazi? Preposterous, no nazi would idolize ancient warlords or cultural works from Japan.

I was merely replying to this part

seriously though please stop speculating using my ketamine coins? I just want to treat my depression

Without the speculators you might as well try and buy your ketamine with Monopoly money.

No need to get defensive. If you gotta buy Monero to medicate yourself that's a failure of the system.

Your dealer only takes the Ketamine coins because of the speculative value.

Their methodology gave conclusive and unquestionable evidence that people with caucasoid skull shape are innately and genetically predisposed towards knowing what a "regatta" is.

I'm not sure when deplatforming became a dirty word in the first place. Freedom of speech doesn't entitle anyone to a platform. It's not a crime to express whatever views you have, but you may need to bring your own soapbox.

Or maybe deplatforming is bad and an affront to freedom of expression. If that is the case, I will let you know on the next episode of Joe Rogan. If I'm not invited, consider me silenced by the cancel culture mob.

Food, housing, clothes, education, healthcare and leisure? You don't deserve them for just being born.

A Substack account, though? That is your inalienable God-given right as an existing human being.

Thank you, I meant to include a nitter link but forgot.

When I was a kid my mom told me not to drink from the garden hose and that was totally and completely lame, but the whole millennial generation grew up not wanting to be blasted in the face with a pressure washer. A strange authoritarian impulse.

During WWII everyone computed on slide rules which had zero transistors. Then they invented the transistor which had one transistor. Then they started making mainframes and Ataris and C64s which had like what, hundred or thousand? Then they invented computers and Windows and PS1 that had maybe a million transistors. And then we got dual core CPUs which had double the transistors per transistor. Then they invented GPUs which is like a thousand tiny CPUs in one CPU. Then they made i7 which probably has like a billion transistors and Ryzen which has ten billion and RTX4090 Ti has 79 billion. Now they say China is going to make a phone with trillion transistors.

That's called exponential growth and assuming perfectly spherical frictionless nanometers it will go on forever. In eight to twelve years schoolchildren will be running GPT6 on their calculators. We will build our houses entirely out of graphics cards. AI will figure out cold fusion any week now and Dennard scaling will never hit its limit, right?

Nobody knows and it's impossible for anyone to know so let's all just assume I'm right.

I would certainly be in favor of a movement to extend human rights to AIs, provided that AIs are sentient intelligent beings, which they are not. I can see why this would surprise him, but if your movement insists that large language models can think and feel and are not only as smart as humans but way better at almost everything, people may end up wanting humane treatment for them.
