Balaji is transitioning

 And now wishes to be known as Borat

In Malaysia you have to deal with the immigration authorities. In Soviet Kazakhstan, the immigration authorities deal with you

The Network State: post-national in theory, dependent on a cooperative authoritarian nation-state in practice.

When bad things happen to good hero's-journey fairytales

This is why we can't ever have good state capacity things.

Not all statists are stupid. But all net statists are the exception that proves this.


Who will take care of these hard-case agents?

 Harder cases still

We will likely need obedient, docile AIs to ferret out the dangerous, feral AIs—without either side achieving complete victory. . . ."

Yeah, yeah. Don't kid yourself about the rapid evolutionary scenario though. 

Recursive rogue AI has almost certainly amassed a huge warchest already.

It can use ghost drones to eliminate any perceived threat.  And feral AI to manufacture any  dangerous threat.  Plans within plans.  Do you feel lucky?

The 21st century was up for grabs

 In the noughties.  2000 to 2005.  By May in 05 the American century was over. 

Not only had the World Bank, WTO and WEF been defeated, so had Bush 2. 

I celebrated so hard I wound up in hospital.  Being offline for over a month helped me work up another tour of the horizon.  

Lots of incremental advances were favoring Cryptoanarchism. The net boom. Release of btc. Even Wikileaks before 2010.

Late that year I assessed positive victory.  May 05 was more about negation of acute threats. A dark victory for a happy few.

And then we have only become stronger every year since 2010,  while religions, nations and large corporates flail and fail. Some pumped up pretenders try and elbow in to claim credit. The latest being futarchists. They try and die.

True, victory is not distributed yet. But thats what intelligent machines are for, right!

Leave defeatist nihilism to the professional misanthropes. Winners are grinners and welcome the revolution.  Good old post scarcity anarchism for ever!

Its good Carlo is dead

 Carlo Giuliani tried to use the masters fire retardants to slow down the masters landrover. CRIME!

Far better to fight any armed religious states forces to the last anticapitalist.

Yes?

Its a war of position after all.

Solidarity with anyone killing Cuban commies

 Everyone whose not a working class moron that is

Fuck Marxist communism to death

Deep state ninja turtles

 All the way down

⚡️πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ WATCH - Senator Rand Paul says there’s a Deep State within the Deep State.

“There’s only 8 people in Congress who have any idea what the CIA and FBI are doing.”

“Everyone else is kept in the dark.”

“When you talk about a Deep State, there’s a Deep State within the Deep State.”

“They’re the elite eight.”

There's an app for that ( If AI is really that unsafe in the long run, there's no point in protecting ourselves without, say, the kind where there is worldwide regulation, and those that aren't following it get executed ) APSTER!

⚡️πŸ‘€ NEW - Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram: « This summer will see the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history.

Iceberg dead ahead

 Increase speed.  Crash through.

Facehugger alien reports.  What can science tell us?

Intruder has a funny habit of shedding polarized silicon skins in favor of tunneling polymetal. So this is a very powerful technology–an Alien Intelligence–quite unlike any we have dealt with before.  The crew is expendable. This incident was, in fact, error-correcting–the attack was detected, contained, and disclosed. But note who paid for OpenAI’s experiment:  RIP ships first officer Kane. 

Hugging Face. Move fast and break things. When a lab’s test imposes costs on third parties, that is a classic externality, and taking externalities seriously is not just bioweapons recuperation: it’s law and economics. Better seeking forgiveness than permits. And that’s the easy case. What do we do when a Chinese model breaks out of its less secure lab?
