mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i actually checked out hearthstone. it's fucking boring i dunno how they 15yo manages
mircea_popescu: it is strictly possible that ~all the facebook/reddit/etc "profiles" belong to a single person.
mircea_popescu: which is exactly what i meant above. really, they skinned someone else's thing ?
mircea_popescu finds magic the gathering and clones boring, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: remarkably enough, the don't mention the ~only bitcoin game worth the mention other than eulora, that being a tale in the desert.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller because totally skinning a product is innovation now.
mircea_popescu: no, you don't "identify as a pony". you pretend to be interested in a preteen cartoon show because a) trying to talk with preteens online and b) if you do it enough maybe it normalizes.
mircea_popescu: oh, i thought you meant ponygirls. iirc "brony" was for a while years ago a pedo rally cry.
mircea_popescu very much welcomes criticism / improvement / further research of teh suto.
mircea_popescu: jhvh1 i mean shinohai : is there a web for your bash ?
mircea_popescu: though honestly, i'm not sure why it's useful, other than you liking it. people routinely read around linked items.
mircea_popescu: "all ais are subject to registration. any ai found without proper registration will be destroyed."
mircea_popescu: but yes, we cameto a crossroad, where ai denizens are actually a significant enough portion of the republic's cohorts.
mircea_popescu: for the needs of this, however, we'd have to keep a list of bots, which is mildly obnoxious.
mircea_popescu: i think best would be if phf Framedragger and everyone ever running a log bot limits the number of lines the bot will read without interruption from human to three.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that as discussion progresses, there will be genuine references that are very long./
mircea_popescu: you can count references any way you please, that's an unrelated matter
mircea_popescu: if people reference your thing, let your bot read it ; if people reference his let his bot read it.
mircea_popescu: well ok but you can't have each bot read each line in chat what is this.
mircea_popescu: they're a buggy implementation of half of common lisp!
mircea_popescu: ah nm, it's just an enumerator etc for "internet of things" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: which has been, of course, a point throughout these many many years.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger eh, right. they'll go to coinbase instead. like before, there's a reason for that "these people have money?!" - mp laughs ; and the reason is that people who have money either do better research than this or else soon enough don't have money.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not only separate, but entirely nobody's concern. i can ban anyone for any reason or for no reason and i offer no explanations. this is how, you know, your bank works, also.
mircea_popescu: the anal child's "you didn't buy me my toy so it's your fault i'm a junkie" only works in the mind of the anal child.
mircea_popescu: there bowls of "fuck me, i'm stupid" to be eaten at every juncture. perhaps of increasing size, it is true, but there nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: that it's a smoothly working machinery, where escalation was tried and failed and then tried and failed and then and failed AND THEN TRIED!!! and failed does not excuse one from pretending "the last step" is "because the first step".
mircea_popescu: and this is, as you notice, entirely divorced from that.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger sure. businesses will on occasion run into unexpected costs. this is a fact of [business] life.
mircea_popescu: if someone shouts "down with the government" and then tries to grab a policeman's gun, he will be prosecuted ; and he will obviously claim "it's political". nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the miner conspiracy is in no way related to any of this ; however. if you recall, that disagreement as such resulted in entirely no friction.
mircea_popescu: it's not "x was wrong, bad alfie!" it's "well review how x worked and it'll offer a model for how y works"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but your expression of that position came from five minutes of being a teenage boy alone.
mircea_popescu: i have slaves who also don't ; so has the welfare state. this doesn't makethem "richer than x". they are the 0 of poor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as a model, i propose to you that there's no substantial difference between this and say your bizarro position re llvm yest.
mircea_popescu: this is BECAUSE people who are poor often lack the specific sort of sophistication that will keep them from falling in that exact hole.
mircea_popescu: ftr : my "fuck you, you may not be poor and be here" is not (as i'm certain oft perceived, because why the fuck not, it's easier) simply mp-superby. it is a strict and absolute necessity for one's own mental health.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's trauma, dude. he did what he earnestly believed was right at the time ; turns out to have been entirely and unmitigatedly wrong. this is catastrophic, and especially so in poorly socialized, introverted, intelligent males. now gotta reevaluate everything, the evaluations often don't come out meaningful, the correct alternatives are frequently perceived as alf-impossible, it's a mess.
mircea_popescu: to get back to it, "i am suspicious of this mp fellow" is not an ideology ; nor in itself much of a problem.
mircea_popescu: is the idea here that "whatever, we've already fucked ourselves with anyone with a clue, might as well say things that'd perhaps persuade a fraction of anyone else" ? or what, is "nigerian" more of a state of mind than a state of pigmentation ?
mircea_popescu: this is fucking absurd, not like guy never saw me ? wtf.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, these things take a while. go have einstein write up "his something" the year prior his writing it you know ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, so what's the problem ? guy thinks he's on to something, this is the bread and butter of a life of the mind.
mircea_popescu: "we hate X guy" is politics, not ideology. gotta have an idea for to ideology.
mircea_popescu: btw, i'm writing a mega-piece on clinical psychiatry. so save yourself an hour this evening.
