Due to the monopoly on violence, governments need additional more constraints in some areas. If your government dislikes you and they can track every step you take out in public, it becomes much easier for them to…

No US president I'm aware of has ever antagonized all their allies and threatened the world nearly as much or as often as Trump has.
Because we have proof that humans who aren't taught some social behaviors never show those behaviors. It doesn't matter what we've bred foxes to do - first "sense of right and wrong" is not the same as "social…
> I would certainly agree that one gets taught more refined and nuanced notions of right and wrong, but those are innate feelings. At least for me. How could a person who was taught social concepts of right and wrong…
I didn't say a word about lobbying being automatically bad, what does that have to do with anything? All I did was disprove your theory that private companies have no power, and that you or I have the same options to…
I don't doubt that you have memories from when you were 4, I have memories from that time too. And I'm sure you felt the shame you described. But I know that it's impossible for a 4-year-old to accurately decipher why…
How could it be possible for anyone to accurately reflect on the mechanisms shaping their emotional reaction to a specific situation when they were 4 years old? It should be transparently obvious that this is…
Globally active/influential social systems as a research domain are still very young. In the couple hundred years such systems have been able to form, we've only attempted a minority of realistically possible systems.…
Your only contribution to a conversation you admit to not understanding has been to stick your fingers into your ears and tell me how meaningless my point is. That's not "directing the conversation back to the actual…
Unfortunately this naive view breaks down as soon as lobbying is introduced, since it is a direct channel for private companies to influence governments.
I am truly sorry for daring to post a comment the great roarcher feels isn't relevant. Please forgive me for the harm I have caused this world.
Try reading the comment I replied to once more: > If "assigning resources to everyone" is a net gain (IE the voter doesn't have resources), then yes it is self serving. It is not possible to state more clearly that:…
After that opener I'm guessing this will be a waste of effort... yes, it might be a real thinker, because AFAICS the two statements don't form a tautology. Is this based on actual findings by research in game theory, or…
Oh, I fully agree! Unfortunately many people reduce other people's inner thoughts to the boolean decision "if someone has below-average resources, their decision must be motivated by moving resources from others to…
Then why are there so many signs of increasing child labor in the US? Why are Republicans rolling back protections? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/22/child-labor-... Note that the article only measures…
What if the voter has lots of resources, but soon they'll likely lose them due to external factors, so they vote for communism? What if the voter has very few resources, but soon they'll likely gain lots of resources,…
First: How do you know that every system is corruptible and exploitable? And second: What if other systems are less corruptible and exploitable? How do you know whether all systems have the same potential for corruption…
This objection is completely meaningless unless the download numbers follow a consistent upwards trend. You are simplifying the new record to a boolean, but most people still find meaning in extraordinary events…
The clarification makes sense, unless you presuppose that download numbers are consistently trending upwards.
I'm sure you've actually checked the download numbers and are not just going "well akshually", right?
As I said, I don't think so as long as you derive your scale of difficulty from the domain itself.
This whole discussion is about evidence. That's not proof and it is not certain, but it is evidence pointing into the direction that OpenAI might be doing something that they're strongly incentivized to do. What kind of…
The people on the left who are "enthusiastically pro illegal immigration" are a tiny minority of all leftists. The majority does think that illegal immigrants shouldn't be mistreated deliberately, which conservative…
