mircea_popescu: more of a 90s thing, record label as master of payola.
mircea_popescu: not the market. you're a record label for having 100 singer-songrwiters, that'll make whatever shit, not for having 100mn customers who'll buy whatever you put out.
mircea_popescu: the very strange thing here is that he somehow thinks the "releases" are the problem record labels solve.
mircea_popescu: lbum by Young Boy Hybrid. Currently Collective Conscious Records has eighteen releases available and we have several more on the way this year."
mircea_popescu: "I started the record label because I wasn’t happy with any of the offers i got from other record labels. It’s a way I can release my own stuff on my own terms. After the first couple releases people started getting interested in the label. I’ve even started working out deals with some artists. I recently released a few tracks with Lonnie Dangerous and Collective Conscious Records is getting ready to release an a
mircea_popescu: it's scary what kids today use to describe themselves.

mircea_popescu: "Jerm La Haine: I’ve been doing music production and graphic design for just under twenty years now."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "We thank Stanislav Datskovskiy for his assistance with the measurement of telomerase activity in some of these experiments and Martha Kirby for her expert assistance in the analysis of apoptosis." check you out.
mircea_popescu: "Crowdfunding: Support Titanovo’s Novel Telomere Testing Technology" complete with their own scams an' errything.
mircea_popescu: "It's wise to keep track of what your mortal enemies do, and there's little that more exemplifies Pure Evil in this world than Eliezer Yudkowsky."
mircea_popescu: "Labels: creativity, Psychology, yudkowsky". lol. why ?!
mircea_popescu: it gets worse, there's entire swaths of particles that are mirrored, you'll never know if you've got various pairs right or backwards.
mircea_popescu: decimation i don't think anyone seriously considers that entire "simulation as life" thing outside of fiction.
mircea_popescu: How do I know I'm the real deal instead of a crazed nutter? Because I tend to elicit the 'damn, that's so obvious now' reaction from people who elicit that same reaction from people like you.
mircea_popescu: "It annoys me that idiots continue to use "oh wow, that's so amazing" as the measure of creative genius. Or even worse, that they rely on society's direction to determine who is a creative genius and who isn't. First of all, creative geniuses are RESPECTED and LOOKED UP TO by society. And any position that is looked up to will be coveted by Narcissists who are driven by Glory, such as Richard Feynman who all his life w
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this discussion inspires me to the following ai standard : a computer that can distinguish code from data is rational.
mircea_popescu: farg is probably one of the better approaches to the ai problem, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: rationality is, basically, the ability to distinguish homomorphisms from homologies.
mircea_popescu: rationality is a purely linguistic property, it has exactly nothing to do with action.
mircea_popescu: "What is rationality? It's the ability to make life plans which reach your goals."
mircea_popescu: can't figure out how to thank that physics dude that read what seems like > 500 pages of shit.
mircea_popescu: i've known many of these, they look like radiation. sooner or later start moving toward wall.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of fun could be had here. what if i get a simulation of me to impregnate the actual girl, and then i impregnate the simulation of her.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i got to ask lesswrong, they seem to know all sortsa shit about how shit that doesn't exist works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what happens if i make two simulations of the same one slavegirl and order them both to fight to the death ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get the argument tho, why is superai of the future influenced by ruminations of humans today
mircea_popescu: poli_ so do they keep attacking wikipedia to take it off ?
mircea_popescu: poli_ hit the search button, select politics and all bets, and see what the cat drags.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. why would anyone care about some simulation ?!
mircea_popescu: apparently caused several contributors who took it seriously considerable anguish."
mircea_popescu: "Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment that assumes that an otherwise benevolent future artificial intelligence (AI) would torture the simulated selves of the people who did not help bring about the AI's existence. [...] The concept was proposed in 2010 by contributor Roko in a discussion on LessWrong. Yudkowsky deleted the posts regarding it and banned further discussion of Roko's basilisk on LessWrong after it had
