I know you mean sovereign citizens, but reading "sovcit" my first thought goes to Eastmeg One (and my second thought goes to Eastmeg Two, obviously).

However, even the accelerationist don’t want Chinese AGI, because insert standard sinophobic rhetoric about how they hate freedom and democracy or have world conquering ambitions or they simply lack the creativity, technical ability, or background knowledge (i.e. lesswrong screeds on alignment) to create an aligned AGI.

I thought in modern US phrenology East Asians were smart? So they just haven't been reached by the holy scripture/ Harry Potter fanfic?

Now I got curious, has there been any attempts of spreading EA to China, and if so how did it go?

They removed the citation, but did they keep the definition?

all people contain exactly two personality cores corresponding to the two hemispheres of their brains, that every personality core is either intrinsically good or intrinsically evil and less than 5% are good

If you have one of each, does that make you neutral? Now how is the Lawful-Chaotic alignment constructed? Does it reside in the kidneys?

I want to roll up a Chaotic Neutral Rogue Halfling.

I think it is odd that he in the several days between the murder and the arrest kept the gun and the fake id he used in New York. Doesn't prove anything, people have been known to do odd things, but then again police also have been known to plant evidence or make claims of evidence that doesn't stand up in court. Guess I will await the trial (if there is one).

I think Viktor in "Viktor builds a bridge" can serve as a role model. A cliff, a shack and a sea bird as companion.

Just learn from Viktor's mistake. Don't build a bridge.

(Actually it is quite good. The linked tune that is. Not the book.)

Why we failed: we tried explaining why everyone else was wrong and we were right, but somehow it didn't work. We would have needed outsiders who could have translated our obviously correct explanations to the other outsiders, then it totally would have worked. But our for hire signs with "can you talk stupid?" was misunderstood and defaced. Clearly a more stealthy tactic was needed.

From what I have read, it can be a support as long as:

  • It is trained on local data, from the machine and procedures normally used.
  • The accuracy is regularly tested (because any variation in the indata, whether from equipment or procedures changes the input data).
  • It is understood as a tool that gives suggestions for the radiologist, not a replacement.

Of course, it cannot be better than the best radiologists around. So the question is if it is worth it, compared with for example hire more staff.

What benefits did the Longtermist stuff on pandemics do in the actual pandemic?

If, as I suspect, it was of no benefit, it belongs in the same pile as hindering the acasualrobotgod.

And poorly at that. Intelligence is a mugs game, if you put your genetic points towards longevity you can keep your initial crowd of scientist/explorers as research leaders longer, which gives a bigger boost to research and more advantages.

At least until the robot god restarts the simulation and/or Paradox releases a new patch.

How bad can it be?

Search. Read a few paragraphs. Close tab in disgust.

Yikes. These people. Did they become rats because they couldn't understand other people existing and valuing their bodily autonomy or did becoming rats do this to them?
