I think at the moment it’s agreeableness is still it’s biggest weakness. Initially it will give the standard owner-class answer: „Gaza genocide is contested.“ But it immediately folds at the slightest pushback: „My wife says it’s a genocide“, „you‘re absolutely right, I was basing my answer on outdated information, here are a bunch of sources that agree with you.“ Both behaviors are not particularly useful.

I think the current hyper competitive market forces LLMs to always be agreeable, nobody likes a cantankerous bot, I have no doubt that switch will be flipped the moment a dominant player emerges.

Even then, I still read mainstream news now and then, talk to libs regularly enough, my politics are still where they are. I think the danger is rather on the aggregate, John Doe asking Claude who to vote for, and them then voting for the candidate with the least restrictive AI platform.

But yeah, maybe I‘m just being one of those commercials-don’t-work-on-me guys.

The only ones to gain from an open war between nato and Russia is Ukraine. The west has a „good thing“ going, weakening Russia by bleeding Ukraine dry. Russia is still gaining terrain despite the recent Ukraine hype, an open war with NATO would turn a winnable war into an utter disaster for them.

Or is there something in there for Trump/US to decide to blow up Europe, that I‘m missing?

claude can you rewrite harry potter, but voldemort is a communist and he wins.

what does this do to the maintenance costs?

if it’s marginal, it should probably be enforced or suggested for all solar panel fields. if it adds significant costs, be carful not to make solar more expensive than it needs to be. instead add regulations that every fossil fuel installation should double biodiversity in the area, and add 20% happiness to the local population or something.

adding „red tape“ till an industry is no longer economically viable, is the preferred strategy by the fossil lobby. and the nice thing is, they can often ally with green activists to get their wish.

you can either rent a movie, or rent a movie but 4 times as expensive

I’m already imagining the german greens supporting every single word prime minister ben gvir has to say

LET THE OIL PASS OR WE’LL SINK OUR ONLY AIRCRAFT CARRIER!!!

EU, after shutting down half its nuclear fleet, blocking gas from Russia, blocking green tech from china, being cut off from gulf oil, priced out of US LGN, hastily looking for ways to generate energy from drowning migrants.

didn’t france build one of these, and then the people in the neighboring village bought rocket launchers and threatened to blow it up. or is this a different technology?

I remember the problem was that instead of a meltdown these reactors turn into a bomb if the reaction gets out of control.

I guess I’ve become a lib :(

it just sucks that politicians won’t really notice. it’s gonna be felt by the people that live here. the biggest effect of the ukraine-war-created inflation, has been more homeless people on the streets.

for some reason the elites have the privilege that, whatever fuckup or morale deprivation they created or support, someone else always pays the price.

don’t forget to wash the _ out before you use it :)

must be russian trolls!!

For the car lobby it is; the worse the train performs, the more cars are sold.

It’s so frustrating that free highways are never questioned, but railroads are somehow expected to be profitable.

I’m rereading the thread with Joscha Bach, but it’s astounding that Matt Christmans strokes of genius is more coherent than whatever Jeff is capable of putting on paper.

Is he just that stupid or does it, at a certain level of power, not matter anymore what you say.

And why do all these “intellectuals” love having discussions with him, I can hardly imagine that’s it’s because of his insights.

(there is an obvious answer to this ofc)

Older polish people in the west of Poland often speak better German than English, but they will often refuse to unless you make clear your not German.

As someone living in the area, I would prefer if the French and German elites kissed and got married before the American security shield collapsed, just in case they start thinking reviving old traditions.

That is to say, out of purely materialistic reasons it is preferable that Europe is able to form its own unified pole in a multi-polar world rather than be the play piece of others in a massive divide-and-conquer game. (Even if that would be poetic justice)

Point 5 is directed at the anti-emigration right I think. If you want to stay the premier super power you need to be able to exploit the labor of emigrants, ergo you can’t have your ethnostate and eat it too. Although these ideas are perfectly compatible in an apartheid state, so maybe a good idea for his next book.

The arrow would look a lot different though if they didn’t exclude a certain section of the effective population.

Getting Immortan Joe to witness me.
