I was thinking about how AI CEOs pushing for an AI slowdown is making people oppose it and say it's all a marketing scheme. Which makes me think that cigarette companies could have just said something like "cigarettes are dangerous and need to be banned," and suddenly everyone would support cigarett

By my personal perspective, being a Boomer, the “existential crisis” we faced in the 50s was the end of access to petroleum by the 70s. Following shortly thereafter, still within the half-century mark, came our crisis of over-population. Within that 70s decade began a meme that has changed its monik
...and Canadian Geese are now Donald Ducks.
Much of my argument is based on Eliezer Yudkowsky's essay here, Paul Cristiano's essay here, and information elsewhere on LessWrong. Also, ironically, on asking Gemini AI to help make sense of their arguments. A lot of these essays were a bit confusing to me when I first read them, so I'll put my ar
Bud Lite and Nike valuation now, compared to even just two years ago, is evidence that woke [either 1 or 2] is DOA.Both decided to premier woke values as advertsing camapaigns and have discovered, to their chagrin, that woke is not a money-maker. Conservatives buy beer and running shoesd in big numb
On this day of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I specifically remember that morning waking up from a dream of my father, who died the previous year in the week of Thanksgiving. My dream had him walking down a curved staircase we never had in any home I've ever lived, He stopped mid-way down and said t
He has a mandate; he is the best man for the job.Go free speech!Remy, Remy, Remy.
Democrats may have inadvertently handed Republicans an argument they [the Democrats] hardly needed at this juncture in their evolution. Democrats have owned the "murder by gun" argument as a justification since raising their 2A ban effort since almost forever, politically and socially. Now, mostly
https://www.debatecraft.com/debates/d/bn/resolved-the-justices-of-the-supreme-court-of-the-united-states-ought-to-be-term-limited#round-1This debate apparently ended with no votes. This may be one reason why: since 1900 [that's 126 years], 85% of Supreme Court Justices have retired, or otherwise lef
A new cancer is upon us while SloJo, in his 2020 election campaign, promised to eliminate cancer, just as he promised to eliminate fossil fuels.Well, fossil fuel is alive and well [contrary to "green energy," it is organic, after all], while Joe's cancer condition [both personally and by eradication
There are several disassociated current events to which social media is drawn by rabid attention: The Democrat sprint to socialism in their various House, Senate, and other elections coming up this Fall. The recently concluded Luigi Mangioni murder trial. The ongoing trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused

The video shows more scenes of the gray aliens and also an alien craft flyi
So, Mamdami decided to extend his communism to Staten Island. It is, after all, one of the five boroughs of NYC, but a politically conservative place. He lasted a minute before being booed from the stage. He'll likely avoid the 60% R-voter Southland of NYC for the remainder of his term. Bye-bye, ma'
...' ‘DOGE’ slashed staff and services at Social Security—and took your personal data. They cut cancer treatments for kids and attacked veterans’ care. They may say they’re gone, but they’re still embedded in our agencies—and we’re still demanding answers and accountability. '..https://x.com/RepJohn
The real reason Trump went to war, so Don Jr, and Eric can make a killing in the Prediction Market.
Some of you have mentioned that you think the economy of the US is sinking, tanking, and otherwise in decline. As if it were better under SloJo. By the way, higher employment, stock market, 401K,. Gold and silver and most other commodity investment, etc, now than then. Sorry for you, guys. I don't s
Mayor of NYC Mandami took his seat at the little-boy-desk, emulating Joe Biden in his dark basement, but in Mando's case, it was a mimic of the Oval, complete with a string of people standing beside the little-boy desk. It looked like Trump. Under the circumstances, that is hillarious.Mandami offere
My hands are better than hands of a girl.Its because I care for my hands and I achieved this with my ultra alpha male intelligence.So yeah, show me a girl with better hands than I have. Hint: You cant.Its because I am an alpha male and that means I am also best at being a girl.My biggest fear is get
Well, it's a surprise to see the US football team is playing really good. I'm not going to say Paraguay is one of the strongest Latinamerican teams but they're not bad at playing football.I'm looking forward to seeing more from the yankies because I see there are a lot of blacks and hispanics in the
Is it now time to expand the Persian Gulf? Are they really that stupid to shoot down a US Apache helicopter?
The nation is reeling today after a Texas jury ruled that you cannot stab someone in the heart for no reason at all.The case involved a defendant who took out a knife from his bag and stabbed a random victim in the heart for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Legal experts and the public have been uns
It's really a coincidence that this film comes out just when Trump is fully disclosing all the UFO files the US agencies have.Do you think this has been coordinated? Is Steven Spielberg part of this agenda of revealing the existence of alien life?If you watch the trailer, you'll see the movie revolv
Rules mean things. Rules, like State Constitutions, let alone the U.S. Constitution, or Rules created at the behest of those Constitutions. Rules of procedure, for example. So, new VA Governor, Abigail Spanberger, who once said during her gubernatorial campaign that VA re-districting was not going t
If I was getting married again, my dad wouldn't have come to my wedding either.Of course, my dad is dead.I wish your dad could be more like my dad.
Once I first heard An Occasional Cortex, I was convinced the woman had many loose screws holding her head inadequately together. Now, she makes this insane claim: "You cannot earn a billion dollars." She has, allegedly, an Econ degree, but I've always thought she earned it laying on her corner bar d
