Austin, Texas is a shit hole with higher taxes than CA but fewer government services.

Don’t be silly.

The way a condition is described or detected and where we choose to draw and name the arbitrary color boundaries is a spectrum. The way we actually are in reality is a continuum (along many dimensions). Some Homo Sapiens are so morally unmotivated and self-obsessed, we say they have ASPD. Yet many people you know are morally unmotivated! Their insufficiencies fall somewhere on that continuum.

Sorry to horrify you but we are definitely worse.

Boom, downvoted for being aware that 95% of violent criminals are male and domestic abuse is no different.

So of all the fucking things to restrict, why this? Facebook is a hundred times more dangerous than any porn. Ban that shit instead.

Yeah it’s fucked up

They’re just using the terminology that’s widespread in the field. In a sense, the paper’s purpose is to prove that this terminology is unsuitable.

A better analogy for AI is the discovery of asbestos or the invention of single-use plastics. Terrible fucking idea.

That’s hilarious.

Sure, that’s one practical aspect of money that lends itself to superficial quantitative analysis. But it’s not the whole picture. Money is fundamentally about the power to get people to do things for you. That’s what it represents. With money I can force people to give me things and do things for me, almost like magic.

Now the origins of money is rooted in debt (and power). When a ruling body exercises a monopoly on violence over a region, it can offer promissory notes (IOUs) that others value, because they have faith that this ruling body can force its citizens to work by extracting taxes from them.

Check out “Debt: The Last 5000 Years,” or similar anthropological work on the origins of money.

Keeping consumers alive as a class is indirectly encouraged in capitalism.

All they want is money, which has nothing to do with consumers whatsoever. Corporations could extract money by devouring each other, or by taking over a nation state, or by hijacking a treasury department, or by issuing their own money a la crypto. Remember that money is an abstraction (or an instrument) of power. Violently subjugating a region is tantamount to possessing that power (which we call money), or the ability to make others do what you want.

Fact checking is censorship apparently.

Yes, because it would make the Mac worse. Nvidia GPUs are comically inefficient.

EDIT: tech illiterate shit-for-brains downvoted this comment.

We are so lucky Nintendo sells shitty video games instead of health insurance. It could always be worse, folks.
