    Uh huh.

  • What's scary on top of that - is the American military is still a thing of power. I guess that'll be the new "proof" of American exceptionalism: murder, killing, violence, and war

    That's what it's always meant.

  • Felt cocky, so i tried reading Hegel

    Jump

  • I think there's very little reason to read Hegel unless you're a scholar. It will not help you understand anything. He's a notoriously obtuse writer.

  • Because Hitler definitely got into power because he won a democratic election, right?

    lmao

  • I know way too many people using LLMs to validate their own batshit thoughts

  • This is spot on. For some questions, the thing that sounds most like an answer to the question is the actual answer to the question. For other questions, it's something that's close to the answer, but not quite it. For others, it's totally fabricated bullshit. There is no way to tell in advance what kind of question you're asking, and no way to tell after getting the answer which kind of response it was. The idea that this is even a plausible route to general intelligence is unhinged. It is the most literal instantiation of the Chinese Room ever built: it doesn't (and can't) understand anything by design.

  • OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027 — analyst paints grim picture after examining the company's finances

  • My company that spends billions of dollars to set billions of dollars on fire is in danger of running out of dollars. Please someone who understands money help me (and also give me billions of dollars).

  • Facing a demographic catastrophe, Ukraine is paying for troops to freeze their sperm

  • Like carcinization causing all animals to eventually evolve into crab, Israelization causes all US-backed "bastions of democracy" to eventually evolve into cum-stealing IOF troops.

  • My Grueling Quest To Buy A Switch 2 By Riding Citi Bikes (This is what people are resorting to so they can get their Switch 2 fix.)

    Jump

  • A helmet is a must if you are doing a halfway serious run – even though NYC has made huge strides with bike lane infrastructure, we do not live in Chairman Mamdani’s Titoist cycling utopia just yet. The people who voluntarily drive in New York City are often NY Post-addled reactionaries who treat driving like the movie Death Race 2000 and face no consequences for it because killing a cyclist is functionally legal if you say “I’m sowwyyyy.” On top of this, cops are huge babies who don’t wanna do traffic enforcement since COVID lockdown, which makes sense because they park sideways on the sidewalk and often commute in from Long Island and the really racist part of Staten Island that doesn’t have good Sri Lankan food. To put it more bluntly, watch your ass on the road.

  • In addition to all the usual suspects folks have mentioned, there are some more big names worth pointing out.

    • Elizabeth Anscombe coined the term "consequentialism" and was one of the most influential moral theorists in the history of the world.
    • Simone Weil wrote a lot of interesting socialist theory.
    • Martha Nussbaum (and her student Christine Korsgaard) have done tons of great work on both Ancient philosophy and moral/political philosophy.
    • Mary Wollstonecraft's work on feminism and equality was foundational to our modern understanding.
    • Nancy Cartwright was one of the best philosophers of science of the 20th century, period. A Dappled World is just brilliant.
    • Judith Thompson was a towering moral philosopher who wrote probably the most influential piece on abortion rights ever
    • Heather Douglas is one of my favorite living philosophers of science, and has some brilliant things to say about the relationship between science and society/values
    • Wendy Parker has some of the best recent work on the foundations of climate science around

    There are so many. That's all just contemporary people.

    ETA: And, as far as I know, none of these people are sex pests. Hard to list that many comparable male philosophers without getting at least a few!
