  1. What technical chops does Sam Altman have?
  2. I thought Alex Wang was a very curious choice. There are so many foundational AI labs with interesting CEOs... I get that Wang is remarkable in his own right, but he basically just built MTurk and timed the bubble.

    Doesn't really scream CEO of AGI to me.

  3. You are wondering why a case of so-called terrorists using violence against apartheid occupiers is relevant?
  4. There is no substance to address lol.
  5. You're right. Mandela and the ANC should've disarmed. Basic laws of warfare.
  6. Quite an odd request to ask Hamas to disarm.
  7. Thank god. Finally an end (for now) to the bloodshed. Hopefully an opportunity to take that psycho Netanyahu out of office (and to the Hague, where he should rot)
  8. Tibetan freedom of religion, language and movement being restricted is terrible. It's like what your government is doing to Gaza, except without all of the murder and ethnic cleansing.

    Like I said, you have psychological issues if you think it's remotely comparable to millions of Iraqis getting senselessly tortured and slaughtered.

    Like a Nazi who thinks they're not so bad because the Americans have racial segregation.

  9. I'm not going to debate someone who compares Tibetan political opression with a million dead Iraqis and the brutal carpet bombing and turning an ancient country and people into a failed state. Or who thinks the Uyghur re-education camps, however terrible, are in any way comparable to 20,000 dead Gazan children.

    You have psychological problems and are beyond reasoning with. Like I said, brainwashed.

  10. Nobody is defending their behavior. You're just proving the brainwashing point I made by instinctively going into attack dog mode making silly arguments.

    And no, China's oppression of Tibet is nothing close to a million dead Iraqis and an ancient country turned into a failed state. The fact you'd even make such a goofy comparison shows how deep American indoctrination runs.

    Your tax dollars are still torturing brown people without trial in Gitmo and genociding Palestinians btw.

  11. Yes. They suck. They've also never done anything remotely as bad as the US did in Iraq.

    That's my point. Americans act like China is the great evil... it's quite strange.

  12. As someone from (and who lives) in the developing + non-aligned part of the world, I'm always amazed at how ingrained hatred for anything western and non-democratic is for Americans.

    Anything that isn't a so-called democracy with so-called western values (which change every 10 years) is patently evil.

    Is this a relic of cold war propaganda? I hate to call it "brainwashing" because that's a very politically charged word but it's a belief that's so ubiquitous and immediate it surprises me. Especially for a culture with such anti-authoritarian cultural history.

    Not defending CPP by any means just always find it funny from a vantage point of being surrounded on both sides by extremely large pot and kettle.

  13. I'm not the one making obtuse claims and desperately trying to trigger reactions.
