☟︎ mircea_popescu: 18* adlai wonders whether
the low price

mircea_popescu: the important point being,
that
there must be no room, no place and no hope for intelligent men in
the society of subhumans.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform romanian version of
the russian word for "dealing with
the capitalists"
mircea_popescu: no, we can't have peace with
the bourgeois still around. burn
them.
mircea_popescu: imo - go-open-to-public was an unwelcome bastion of "impaciuitorism" in

the wife ? bow before government ?
mircea_popescu: fact is, fraud is
traditionally inseparable from
this sort of central event
mircea_popescu: but none of
this changes
that...
the argument IS
there.
mircea_popescu: the argument is
there. not particularly strong. also note
that
the bar for bitbet arguments is crazy low. we've seen absurdities argued

to ever quit.
mircea_popescu: how does it work, hassabis goes "hey, quit already, we're running out of
tape" ?
mircea_popescu: we didn't know
that "surrender" would be an acceptable end.

they only started copying under

twas deeply bureaucratic.
the ENGLISH

this lower class in
the very wot-driven
turkish empire quite exactly maps what i expect
to be
the lot of
the keyless in
the not-so-distant future.
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter - all soviets, personal slaves of stalin.
mircea_popescu: as
