mircea_popescu: tbh, it has all the makings of a great DoD "investment"

mircea_popescu: those 8 years were started in a much better time for usg.

mircea_popescu: if that bunch of watsap scammers got 20bn, i have no idea why anyone would take less than 10 bn a head from usg.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you recall, i challenged orlov and he came out with "I am a robot doing the above".

mircea_popescu: which is why i propose to do the job with a computer. it's plowing, there's no reason to pay for it.

mircea_popescu: but derived from it, a decent pseudo-AI project would be to make a long list of propositions, sort them in a thousand or so lists (ie blogs) and "publish" "articles".

mircea_popescu: so it's a living, best of luck.

mircea_popescu: anyway. this argument is both too complex to be readily "intuited" by the children and also its results are deeply inconvenient to their wants and expectations (mostly of playing the spy and generalsly speaking "mattering" in their own head), and so i don't expect the S process to go away. it's prolly going to be productive enough to become a mode of "culture" on the interwebs.

mircea_popescu: 3. create a set S of twobitidiots Sk, who put forth statements Q about various P, so that the actual T(Q(Px)) is normally distributed over the list S.

mircea_popescu: 2. take a list L of actors Lj , who decide (D) on which P to rely, and are scored by function S(Lx), according to the impact of their reliance on false P (which is uncomputable at all points before running S)

mircea_popescu: 1. take a complex situation C about which propositions may be formed Pi which are decidably correct or false through a T(Px) function.

mircea_popescu: there's going to be none of this "two bit idiot" http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-make-money-on-the-internet-while-pretending-you-know-what-youre-talking-about-and-accumulating-a-legion-of-mindless-followers-for-fun-and-profit/ A/B-and-spam approach to "credibility"

mircea_popescu: there's a difference between these two situations.

mircea_popescu: i agree. bc.i is a pile of useless css.

mircea_popescu: "A blockchain explorer has ONE JOB: to show its users valid blocks and transactions. Blockchain.info does not do this. It's worse than worthless; it's deceptive."

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> to which i answer << and to wich is answer, if memory serves you were brought by a woman! ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform long known, that machine. it consists of a belt and, as mo says, "totu-i din incheietura, ma, degeaba tot..."

mircea_popescu: i made this point, vaguely, when we were discussing our own survival, in the form of "lordship lists" etc. but it stands - if you have a systematic closure you're in a bubble.

mircea_popescu: ~I~ am not in a bubble, because i actually take untold hours each quarter to talk here.

mircea_popescu: it is a culture with a fucktarded, buggy, slow implementation of these

mircea_popescu: you know what ? there's a usable kb or two on github too

mircea_popescu: not unless you imagine the stale sandwich 3 months in your fridge is a "backup copy" of a sandwich

mircea_popescu: tumblr pheminism is a great strengthener. for a live one.

mircea_popescu: not a matter of cost.

mircea_popescu: and for that matter versailles (which is how and why french died) was not a castle, but a jail.

mircea_popescu: all castle contains a jail.

mircea_popescu: corporate job is idem "a shield" for usian fucktards, like working "for the govtr" was a shield that still got germans hung and soviets spat on.

mircea_popescu: (anyway, lest the esl reader acquires the wrong impression from the logs - at issue is not that the thing was done, per se. at issue is HOW the thing is done. which is to say : shockingly unexpected, which requires a) a large body of work against which to expect pre-existend and b) a language strong enough to shock against that. these are plain impossible requisites in "reasonable" languages, and they can't be met by p

mircea_popescu: can stand up with fucking poe, and english doesn't just sprout forth poe when scraping its knees on the asphalt in a rollerblading accident

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform spontaneous tone poemz by two kids making a random cartoon show out of their bedroom.

mircea_popescu: i don't know the greek situation well enough to quote chapter and verse past the general impression, but as to romanian i can sign you a warrant. robotzi is strictly sufficient proof, for decades, perhaps a century.

mircea_popescu: wake me up when there's a 500 year tradition of prison culture in esperanto.

mircea_popescu: now THAT's a way to embarass oneself...

mircea_popescu: (tbh, i think i'm buying a lot of time with my willingness to engage the frivolous, but maybe i'm just reading ideology into reality)

mircea_popescu: obviously this is a poorly researched field, for lack of substance to study. but particularly interesting to me for the obv reasons

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd expect by now most of the "no go" zones openly advertise "see a cop ? kill a cop" policies.
