[1/2] https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/trump-administration-directive-would-allow-killing-of-endangered-wildlife A magat proposal would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act by reinterpreting it to cover only intentional killing or damaging of specific, chosen members of an endangered species. Accidental damage, such as when a ship kills a whale by unexpectedly colliding with it, would not count. Why would one advocate this? Perhaps it reflects a desire to clean out all those pesky Related

This is exactly right. The book is an intentional study of what the China the 1980s could learn from the America of the 1980s—and Wang found a lot in America to be emulated and admired. Quoting @JohnF_Sullivan Jane Perlez: "Wang Huning had a dim view of America, his book [America against America] is very acerbic." While this is now conventional wisdom, this take is a clear sign that the speaker never really read the book. Here is part of how Wang characterizes the "American Spirit": China America Related

Good 🧵from the excellent @raphaelmilliere on when and why adopting the intentional stance re LLM agents is helpful, when it isn’t, and what it means to do this. We might come down on slightly different places, but I’m broadly on board. Plus he uses “” appropriately :) Quoting @raphaelmilliere I see @dwarkesh_sp's piece about the recent OpenAI/Huggingface incident reignited endless debates about the dangers of anthropomorphism and the legitimacy of intentional glosses of AI agent behavior, so here's a philosophical perspective on this. 1/22 LLMs Related

Their words
And I just think AI agents are another such system in the world to which the intentional stance very clearly applies. Um, and you can see them reason out loud in English for now about goals they have um, and sub goals they need to achieve to achieve those goals they have. And in the case of these agents, you can see them, as you said, reasoning about their peers um and helping their peers um and reasoning about whether or not they should sacrifice some of their own goals to help those peers. And it's just like you can't talk about this stuff in a compact and useful way that generates good models without reaching for the language of intention and goals.

"major portion of missing link has collapsed" NO. Boulders and debris have broken/damaged a retaining wall on top of the tunnel, much of it has fallen on the road below.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
