There’s so much in this short clip: the Quixote/Panza archetype, but also, in Steinberg’s words, what we respond to in art is the artist pushing against their limitations.

"The artist is believed to be Trish Duggan, a major Trump donor. The center declined to comment. Ms. Duggan did not respond to multiple requests for comment." Quoting @donmoyn.bsky.social It's supposed to be an arts center, they have been removing actual artwork and replacing it with this propaganda kitsch. 2/2 Related

Reasons why the analogy does not work: 1. presumably the aliens already exist as living sentient beings--there is a moral difference between murdering a baby and using a condom. 2. There is also a realpolitick difference as well: the aliens came from somewhere, presumably a somewhere with more aliens. How will those ones respond if our first interaction is violent? Quoting @robinhanson Imagine we saw a big alien starship heading toward Earth. We think they are so advanced they could do us great harm, if they wanted. We have a way to destroy it, but only if we do so soon, & there's not time to talk to them first. Should we destroy it? Related

The latest Threat Intelligence report is an absolutely terrifying and important read. As models become more intelligent, without the right safeguards and monitoring they also become more dangerous. Many capabilities are dual use: a model that codes well can be used to hack critical infrastructure; a model that assists with biology research can also be used to engineer the next pandemic. These issues are complex, thorny, and increasingly important for everyone to understand so that the world can weigh in and respond to rapidly escalating risks. anthropic.com

What do we do if moats are getting shallower? How should tech companies respond? moats are getting shallower. Used to be that you would build software and you build these really deep moats around it, make it very hard for customers to switch. but AI is increasing the power of the customer, making customers much more powerful because they can easily switch from one to the other. so how should you react if you're a tech company?

I said I’d do politics differently. So these are the facts: The UK has seen the lowest number of summer small boat arrivals since 2020. We’ve returned more than 80,000 people with no right to be here – and annual returns are at their highest level since 2016. There are half the number of asylum seekers in hotels than there were last year. And today, we go further by bringing the total number of deployed French officers tackling small boat crossings to nearly 1,050. But I know that we can’t be complacent on this. Smuggling gangs are constantly adapting their tactics, and we need to respond qui… Related

Their words
Happier couples tend to give each other the benefit of the doubt. Rather than assuming "My partner doesn't care," they're more likely to consider that the other is tired, distracted, overwhelmed or simply unaware of the impact of their behavior.

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.
