Sadly it only works if you count the attack in Iran time, Trump probably hasn't actually developed theory of mind so the concept of time zones might not actually have factored into his decision making.

Instead of bombing Iran on June 22nd to commemorate Operation Barbarossa, she would've bombed Iran on Juneteenth.

If you want something more high brow than Inglorious Basterds you could do Memories of Murder. Nothing about it makes it feel "political" but it plants a seed that can be harvested watching any other media about the police by asking "wait, why is this crap portraying the police as highly responsible professionals? Memories of Murder was so much more realistic!"

We definitely struggle with anti-lib vindictiveness and this is the home of people who are pissed at liberal family members and friends. Naturally, libs are having their "told you so" moment and people just want to correct the record.

IMO initiating and aggressively squashing opposition to the Gaza genocide (well, accelerating it, but you get what I mean) and Operation Prosperity Guardian were pretty clear preludes to this war and were pursued by the Biden admin. Is that as hawkish as Trump 1? Nah, not really, but libs really hate being reminded of their shared culpability. Like when we remind them PR exists as more than just a card to play against Republicans.

You can do a sideways Ukrainian trident symbol for the E and some kind of Sonnenrad with the side erased for the C.

I think it's more likely she'd have the Coexist variant that's made from hate symbols.

She would find a way to entrap a Jewish neighborhood for it.

This reads like they're manufacturing consent for escalating this into a regime change forever war.

 
 

(obviously you should go listen to the whole thing)

 

universe is missing the point of fiction media!" then they'll turn around and mock visionary shows like NCIS for scenes in which the detectives enhance the resolution of an image. Oh, computers can't just do that? Who cares! Lock in! The point is not that the story makes internal sense, it's what the story communicates!

 

dunk so hard the admins stepped down

 
 

and post

 

Prompted by the recent troll post, I've been thinking about AI. Obviously we have our criticisms of both the AI hype manchildren and the AI doom manchildren (see title of the post. This is a Rationalist free post. Looking for it? Leave)

But looking at the AI doom guys with an open mind, sometimes it appear that they make a halfway decent argument that's backed up by real results. This YouTube channel has been talking about the alignment problem for a while, and I think he probably is a bit of a Goodhart's Law merchant (as in, by making a career out of measuring the dangers of AI, his alarmism is structural) so he should be taken with a grain of salt, it does feel pretty concerning that LLMs show inner misalignment and are masking their intentions (to anthropomorphize) under training vs deployment.

Now, I mainly think that these people are just extrapolating out all the problems with dumb LLMs and saying "yeah but if they were AGI it would become a real problem" and while that might be true if taking the premise at face value, the idea that AGI will ever happen is itself pretty questionable. The channel I linked has a video arguing that AGI safety is not a Pascal's mugging, but I'm not convinced.

Thoughts? Does the commercialization of dumb AI make it a threat on a similar scale to hypothetical AGI? Is this all just a huge waste of time to think about?
