  • Ireland rolls out basic income scheme for artists

  • novelty and correctness are opposite each other in humans

    So, when it comes to mental illness and creativity, despite some empirical correlations, “There is now growing evidence for the opposite association.”

    However, there are inverse-U-shaped relationships between several mental characteristics and creativity:

    Although you’ll notice that disinhibition rapidly becomes detrimental.

  • If we increase an LLM’s predictive utility it becomes less interesting, but if we make it more interesting it becomes nonsensical (since it can less accurately predict typical human outputs).

    Humans, however, can be interesting without resorting to randomness, because they have subjectivity, which grants them a unique perspective that artists simply attempt (and often fail) to capture.

    Anyways, however we eventually create an artificial mind, it will not be with a large language model; by now, that much is certain.

  • After the IOC disqualified Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych, energy workers created their own memorial helmets bearing the names of colleagues who were killed by Russia.

    1. Pro-diabetes = not politics, whereas
    2. Anti-genocide = politics.

    Logic brought to you by the wealthy parasites destroying everything you hold dear.

  • Yeah, plus we’ve achieved the economic conditions where everyone’s basic needs can be met. That they are not is a deliberate and vincible evil.

  • That’s the point. People want to simultaneously pretend that art is the trivial pursuit of effete dilettantes but also that subsidizing art is unfair since it would take too much sacrifice and effort for any random person to become an artist.

  • Even amazing writers and musicians can barely scrape a living. Being an artist is mostly unpaid labor that enriches Irish culture. Why wouldn’t we incentivize artists for some pitiful sum of money if they’re willing?

    No matter how much capitalists pretend that artistic talent falls from the sky like mana for the rest of us to enjoy, it isn’t actually free. It takes thousands of hours of effort to become something resembling an artist. And this program is a cheap way to make that happen.

  • 'Price of dignity' says Ukrainian athlete banned over helmet

  • How did we get to a point in human devolution where antiwar symbols of remembrance are deemed less appropriate than committing genocide?

    The members of the IOC responsible should be imprisoned and all Russian athletes expelled.

  • Factory workers are eligible to become artists at any time. It was always allowed.

  • Attorney on 9-year-old client in Dilley detention site: 'She wishes she was no longer alive'

  • It is a terrifying revelation for a child when they first realize that they’re kind of stupid, but that the people who run this world are even stupider.

  • Because we refuse to accept, generation after generation, that 30% of the human species is incapable of empathy and more akin to zombies than people. They pass, sure, in small doses, they pass, these creatures with the bodies of men and the souls of insects — subdiagnostically psychopathic, lacking every transcendental virtue that distinguishes people from the lower animals. They are everywhere. They’re the reason we have slavery. They’re the reason every civilization slowly crumbles. And they’re very, very easy to find.

    Ask questions with obvious moral answers that people don’t feel ashamed to answer incorrectly.

    1. “Should access to abortions before the third trimester be banned?”
    2. ”is it good for people to worship their nations?”
    3. ”should presidents who violate the law be imprisoned?”
    4. ”should children be kept in cages by virtue of their dubious immigration status?”
    5. ”should billionaires exist while others starve?”
    6. ”is it bad to torture animals for food?”
    7. ”can a person ‘own’ a mountain?”
    8. ”is theocracy ever acceptable?”

    Etcetera

  • YSK that TikTok is harming children at an industrial scale. We know this because we obtained internal documents from the company

  • Idk if you’ve noticed, but in just 15 years, social media turned half of Americans into Nazis. People like McCain and Romney seem positively centrist.

    the effect of Facebook on Brazil:

    By comparison, smoking shortens people’s lives. Personally, I’d prefer a shorter life than a world where 90% of the most popular podcasts are a bunch of psychopaths.

    As someone steeped in technology, if I had a button that destroys the internet, I’m not sure if I should press it. Probably.

  • British Woman shot by dad in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump'

    Jump

  • Pretty sure I did. An alcoholic man and a young woman enter an enclosed space. The man is a self-avowed pro-rape psychopath who confesses to shooting the young woman for no reason.

    Whether it was an accident is dubious and irrelevant. She’s dead, he had a motive and no remorse.

    Case closed.

    Or can we kill whoever we want and claim it was an accident? Ridiculous.

  • Social media isn’t even in the same class as smoking in terms of harm. It’s civilization ending. Smoking shortens lives on average. Social media is an existential threat. How do you think Trump got elected?

  • Currently it’s illegal for kids to smoke cigarettes, which is nowhere near as harmful as social media.

    You can read any of the gazillion pieces of research to reach this extremely obvious conclusion.

  • It's not as bad as drugs.

    Hard disagree.

    need to upload all our data

    This isn’t necessary. For instance, simply require any device to which children have access to preinstall software that blocks 90% of the internet. Problem solved.
