  15. ugh. some of the most blatantly weirdly aggrandizing nonsense.

    a) this was in a scenario no real life
    b) they neglect the fact that the AI was told to preserve itself at all costs

    I mean that's basically it. Save you 14 minutes.

  16. 181 is a prime number!! It seemed very multiple-of-nine coded…

    Unrelated, I now have 181 closed PRs across Wafrn's Codeberg and Github repos which means I have 35.3515625% of wafrn PRs currently. This makes me the strongest PR farmer of the modern era and acts as a 20% additive multiplier to my Ego stat.

  23. The #Paranoid Style in American #Politics ( Harper’s 1964)

    American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers who have now demonstrated in the #Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities & passions of a small minority… I call it the paranoid style … heated #exaggeration, #suspiciousness , & #conspiratorial #fantasy that I have in mind

  28. A quotation from Moliere

    CLÉANTE: Most men are strangely made; they always stray
       Out of the natural and proper way;
       Rejecting reason’s bounds as limitations,
       They range about amid their aberrations;
       Even the noblest things they often mar
       By forcing them and pushing them too far.
     
    [Les hommes, la plupart, sont étrangement faits;
    Dans la juste nature on ne les voit jamais:
    La raison a pour eux des bornes trop petites,
    En chaque caractère ils passent ses limites;
    Et la plus noble chose, ils la gâtent souvent,
    Pour la vouloir outrer et pousser trop avant.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967)]

  35. #Trump has delivered a stream of #exaggeration, half-truths & outright #lies about the #Ukraine war that echo the views of #Putin. They include his dismissal of Ukraine's President #Zelensky as a dictator who does not deserve a seat at the table when America & Russia decide the future of his country. The biggest lie Trump has told is that Ukraine started the war.
