  • whatever. I'm just indicating you can turn it into a combinatorial game if you want

  • I think what makes it not impartial is that the white player cannot move black pieces (or vice versa). in an impartial game which moves are available is only allowed to depend on the game state, not on which player you are

    the existence of stalemates prevents chess from being a combinatorial game at all, although I'm sure there are workarounds (I guess a lazy one would be to declare that white always wins stalemates)

  • First a correction (people keep saying this and it is a weird mistake) Grimes was his girlfriend, never his wife.

    whoops! edited

    on my part I think it's because I keep seeing Elon described as having "divorced energy"

    (I recall a story of a university with a beloved, genius but somewhat odd professor to which the students looked up, they wanted to be like him. So eventually the students started to touch the walls when walking through the halls, as the professor also did that while walking, the cargo cult).

    side side note I was friends with a former military intelligence guy and he told me the mathematicians in his facility were nicknamed the "finger draggers" or something like that because some of them had that habit

  • it isn't a p2w mobile game and I see no reason to believe he's achieved any level of expertise in it

  • I hope you have, tho I suspect he only plays against sycophants

  • Elon is certainly an expert. He can describe things. He can define things.

    I don't know what context you are referring to, but I don't think Elon is an expert at anything

  • oh man I've been thinking about posting that polytopia article in the stubstack because it's the funniest musk related content I've seen. now I think it deserves a thread

  • its actually extremely emotionally upsetting. i took a box of chicken nuggies out of the freezer and just started crying and punching the box over and over. i trusted you elon

  • THANK YOU. I feel the exact same way, word for word, although my feelings are directed at juicero rather than openai. sick of the juicero naysayers who don't understand

  • please explain to us how you think having less, or more, subscribers would make this profitable

  • I don't see any reason being trained on writing informed by correct knowledge would cause it to be correct frequently. unless you're expecting it to just verbatim lift sentences from training data

  • the site you are imagining, the supposed free speech site? it converges to gab. this dynamic is basic and I can't take you seriously if you don't get this.

    • nazis are encouraged to be equal voices on a platform
    • they use the platform's reach to radicalize fence sitters
    • other users, realizing their digital roommates are Nazis, are alarmed and leave
    • now it's a nazi site

    what exactly do you think substack will consist of in two years if they don't do a 180? the entire reason we're having this conversation right now is that a bunch of substack writers said they would rather leave than hang out with nazis

  • I cited obvious examples where extremist ideology got supercharged and organized through the wide reach mainstream platforms provide and you're like 'uh what difference does it make. disagree.' you are not a serious person

  • nobody but nazis wants to be on those lol. go post on gab or whatever if you want that. it's free. you can do it. you just don't actually want to

  • if you don't ban them that just happens on the mainstream platforms. big chunks of j6 were organized on twitter and facebook. qanon mostly spread off the chans, on mainstream platforms. giving extremists access to fence sitters isn't like throwing water on a fire, it's like throwing fuel on it

  • by causal link, I mean how does banning nazis cause support groups for non-offending pedophiles to get banned. like how does that actually happen. please be as specific as you can be

  • fascinated that you think it would somehow be harder for you to go out and find nazis if substack weren't hosting and paying them. it will always be easy to find and read Nazi content. the reason substack matters is that the platform helps THEM find YOU, or a suggestible journalist, or a suggestible politician, etc. you are not the protagonist here

  • sorry what exactly about banning nazis causes one to ban non-offender pedophile support groups. like what is the actual causal link you're suggesting? if you just mean "I noticed random people endorse this thing I have no opinion on, and also this similar sounding thing I think is bad," that's not super compelling

  • wow that's terrible, that they'd circlejerk each other instead of having a mass audience to post propaganda to. I can't imagine a worse outcome
