Enders Game

you mean HPMOR of course

It's really funny how HPMOR inherits the exact same problems from Ender's Game like there was nothing at all to learn. Harry and Ender's violence is recognised as maladaptive, a result of trauma, they might end the world or do a big genocide, but that's because they're so much smarter and more competent than anyone around them! They can keep their evil half (!!!) in check with the power of their big ethical brain (the good hemisphere????).

See also with the Elon stuff the (pretend-) concern over gov agencies knowing your SSN. Like, what?

Wow I can't believe I'm still learning new ways the United States do voter suppression. Imagine if they put all that creativity in something other than white supremacy!

Yeah, the controversy over federal ID cards is completely bafflying to me as well, and I imagine like many things in the US it's some sort of libertarian bugbear or something? But considering the President has now mandated that one's federal identity is fixed at birth by the angels, it turned out to be a blessing.

I saw that yesterday. I was tempted to post it here but instead I've been trying very hard not to think of this eldritch fractal of wrongness. It's too much, man.

That's weird. I've heard you were a spambot.

That's an interesting palette choice on your generated illustrations my guys

I know, that's what's beautiful about it! You used the "copyrighted" image!

I have to say, this is the first time I've seen "machine learning is psychohistory" expressed this frankly. This has been useful, thank you for your contribution.
