  • Probably not good that the American public is expressing relief at getting to salivate over a mass-produced genius child from a CIA asset's personal breeding project in the midst of the Epstein files

  • Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu's father, Arthur Liu, is a successful lawyer with his own practice, Inter-Pacific Law Group Inc., in the Bay Area, after immigrating from China where he was a student activist involved in the Tiananmen Square protests. He is a single father who raised all five of his children, including Alysa, through surrogacy and is also known for his significant financial investment in Alysa's skating career.

  • Asha Sharma, new Xbox CEO, is a natalist/birthrater who believes that AI can improve fertility rates

  • The other example she gave is Stanford using ChatGPT to do tumor reviews. I'm not sure how that improves fertility rates.

    Furthermore, while I understand she's just speaking off the cuff in an interview, I feel like one of two things has to be true here: either she knows she's just trying to fill a certain time window with sentence-shaped objects and can't be bothered to care about their content, or the destruction of our attention spans is so complete that even people in privileged positions can't hold on to a cogent thought for more than 10 seconds.

  • I read about a hospital in the UK that is improving pregnancy rates by using AI to - you know - match eggs and sperms.

    I do not know. What on earth is she talking about?

  • Moats are back!

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm spending big on moats and armed security, but when the alternative is a just and fair society where I have marginally less material comfort, no expense must be spared.

  • The reddit atheist to Christofascist pipeline is real!

  • Yeah, seeing all the self-proclaimed skeptics come out swinging for Harris as soon as she got the nom was eye-opening.

  • UN declares Earth has entered a period of 'water bankruptcy' that is likely impossible to reverse

    Jump

  • For sure, but this has been exacerbated by policy choices like the water rights system and crop subsidies.

  • A lot of aquifers have really long recharge times or are fossil aquifers, meaning that they no longer refill, so the total amount of available freshwater is probably declining.

  • The public has claimed an incredible streak of scalps this year, torn from the skulls of figures so powerful they were supposed to be untouchable.

    What is this, 1850?

    Also the fall of Bill Gates? Dude got slightly negative press coverage that evaporated almost immediately.

    Jump

  • But the good ideas are all self-evident stuff like society should care for its worst off individuals, charging high interest rates is bad, and maybe we shouldn't stone adulterers, while the divinity part explicitly connects those ideas to a broader set of laws handed down from a capricious, atemporal spirit who doesn't directly reveal himself and can't be relied on to provide explanations for his more arcane directives. I feel like "he had some good ideas" is just a concession to Christianity's cultural dominance.

  • Someone asked Rebecca Watson, an atheist YouTuber and public speaker, up to his room in the elevator at a conference. She later (without naming names) said "Hey maybe don't do that" and it caused a huge meltdown.

  • Prolly closer to 66% chance if you're getting the standard level of sleep but the important part is that it's readily predictable, rather than, say, there being uncountable quadrillions of simulated space people in the distant future.

  • What's important is that in one scenario there is less of some undefinable quantity, and that's as far as moral reasoning can be permitted to go.
