The myth of consensual peace deals…

“Isn’t there somebody you forget to ask?” 🇺🇸🦅

Bees are one of the only animals we observed to understand the concept of 0. They can do algebra. They can communicate complex ideas to each other, like the relative position of the sun accounting for the passage of time.

And for silly facts, carpenter bees don’t have stingers. They live in procreating pairs. The males usually defend the nest. But without stingers, what can they do? Well they fly around their nest and “bump” their heads into threats. Over and over. Until the threat leaves, feeling threatened by the little bee.

If you’ve never gotten a little bumblebee headbutt, you feel really special. Like “wow little guy, thanks for saying I’m big and scary”.

Bees are cool. Some might say they are the bees knees even!

People completely miss what global warming is gonna actually do 🤷‍♂️

Things are not just gonna get hot. Much of the world will be toxic or filled with deadly disease. Southern Europe is gonna have Malaria and Zika soon. People are not ready.

Dating apps are the most obvious version of the commodification of love.

That’s not so true nowadays. Skilled factory workers already make a good salary in China nowadays. Like better than any other “global south” country at least. And by cost of living, better than the US probably tbh.

No no, you misunderstand me comrade. I mean Cuba, the DPRK etc.

Bro you learned a whole new language. How is that mental decline? I don’t know anyone who speaks dog. It’s honestly impressive.

Also, the US was VERY hesitant to enter the European war. There was a lot of support for the Nazis in the US. From some high ranking people. Like the first director of the OSS and the Dulles brothers (instrumental in forming the CIA and NATO). They wanted a separate peace with Germany, and to enter the European war against the Soviets. But luckily FDR was unmovable in his support of the Soviets against the Nazis.

They also love ripping off people’s genitals, faces etc…

Why would she ever want you to do that? That’s so sad.

“Possibly”.

That ignores all the papers on emergent features of LLMs and the fact they are basically black boxes. Yes, we “trained” them to write what we want to hear. But we don’t really understand what happens inside of it. We can’t categorically claim things like “they are only regurgitating what they heard”. Because that is not a scientific or even philosophical statement.

If you think about it for a second, it’s also applicable to human beings…
