I think she won that one. Was a bit unclear, but I recall seeing a tweet from grimes that she has access to her kids again. (Not sure if it was a real tweet).

I was trying to avoid language like 'insane' etc myself. Felt a bit like return of the Timecube.

Wow the first reply is quite unhinged.

More on topic, that isn't low hanging fruit, that is Exhibit C in the discrimination lawsuit.

Amazing that this is the one thing they didn't pick up clearly from science fiction (in which the (same) personhood of copies is often debated, and changes from place to place. (The Culture series does a 'this copy isn't conscious, but it is a very good copy of you which totally acts conscious' in some cases, which some people of the Culture don't even believe, so it is up for debate).

Bostrom, our employees are unhappy, do you have any advice?

I think HPMOR also still needs a content warning for talking about sexual assault. Weird how that is a pattern.

Even he thinks you shouldn't read HPMOR.

Careful! You might turn all Remarkable AI evil with this! YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT A SPACE ODYSSEY ...

More like JBP looking at his tool box with his hammer called Jung in it. Ah! A nail!

It seems a bit of a contrarian sinfest defender. Which causes them to mention some iffy things. Which the r/sinfest admins then delete after downvotes it seems.

And, it gets worse, this wasn't a remark from his 'crazy on benzos and attention' period. He did this in class. (the clip itself is a bit interesting as you can see what he is trying to say (trying to make a point about Jung), but you can also see why it is failing re the analysis of the war front because imho he doesn't understand facism and the nazis that well, so he makes it into a 'chaos for chaos sake' thing).

Fair enough, I just compared it to de Hond's twitter account which is just vax doubt going on and on atm. (He doesn't seem to be a hardcore 'don't vax ever' person, but he just feeds into the anti-vax conspiracy shit fulltime, and I don't see how he doesn't care about the effect he has on the people who listen to him).

Compared to that Nate seems to at least be 'normal', or constrain himself to being private, so that is good at least.

Of course compared to the Hond (77), Silver (46) is also younger, so I think we all will be amazed at how much crazier he will get when he gets older. As older age does seem to be a big factor in this, for some reason people who get pushed forward as smart/insightful lose their entire ability to listen to critical sounds/doubt themselves when they grow older and the crazy comes out. (See also how Cornel West (71) has gone a bit of the deep end lately apparently, and this. People on bsky talked about him as an example of this issue iirc).
