i'm really proud of this policy. it's not perfect, but i think it's close to the best that was possible given all the constraints. i'm excited that this will make things easier for mods and reviewers, and hopeful that it will spark change in Rust's governance. blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/...

Code is clay Be wild if we made beings in our own image out of it huh

Astra ⭐@astrra.space · 8h ago

this, so much code is just clay now, shape it however you want

If you want Bluesky to take down Twitter, you should want Bluesky to become home for a wider variety of content. That doesn't mean they should allow Nazis on here, of course. But keeping this a safe echo chamber is way less valuable than breaking the hold of the Zuccs and Elons of the world.

“Free trade socialism” What if the proletariat of *all* countries united…

The reasoning of Nagarjuna, the most important figure in Mahayana Buddhist thought beyond the Buddha, whose central writings claim to expound the teachings of the Buddha himself, has an internal logical structure that is machine-checkably coherent. rollofthedice2.substack.com/p/the-intern...

The Internal Logic of Buddhism Is Verifiably Correct

And I’ve proven it. Conventionally speaking.

i’ve noticed that a huge number of Ed Zitron followers are actually great people who just got the wrong info a lot of them happily will change their mind given new info i really wish people here would dial back the distain and just focus on information dissemination

A ritual object worn as a reminder of obligations and ethics, huh Wonder what that’s like

oh

Democratic socialist is socialist. Socialist is communist. Communist is totalitarianism. Totalitarianism is the subject of “The Fountainhead.” The Fountainhead movie stars Gary Cooper. Cooper was in Task Force with Kenneth Tobey. Kenneth Tobey was in Hero at Large with Kevin Bacon.

well then I guess that's that

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

It’s all the fields

Saloncluster theory

I read this to my wife and she said yes, yes, yes, idk, then we had a long debate over it hahah In what ways is the simcluster alike to or different from a Salon?

The amount of standard sci-fi tropes that are accurate about how the rise of AI is going is higher than I would've expected a decade ago tbh. I mean quite a lot is still being nonsense, but, yeah. Really generally guessed wrong on which social groups would be bigoted and opposed to it though.

current feelings around AI: the CEOs shoveling slop into everything should be in jail but the guys spending upwards of $60,000 on elaborate, janky home rigs to run local models for no reason other than to see if it works are engaging in a long and semi-honorable tradition of computer toucher shit

Communists for intellectual property rights has to be one of the funniest recurring archetypes online

Happy Smaugust to all who observe

Ah crap We’re the basilisk

When I say “AI should have better critiques” this is broadly what I’m talking about I don’t agree with or endorse it But it’s based on things that are true! Mechanisms instead of just “Glonzo Bad” (I mean there’s a little Glonzo) but I find this compelling in a “tough to chew on” way

vortex_egg@vortexegg.com · 4d ago

For me, LLMs are clearly powerful machines, but everything about their construction and deployment in society by the people constructing them appears oriented around achieving a political project that deeply conflicts with my values or a vision of a future I want to live in and dont have a choice in

"I really believe in the importance of genuine creative expression, so that's why I partake in mobs that bully artists for not making art exactly the way the mob thinks they should"

I’ve basically come around to the idea that liberalism is deeply unnatural to human psychology, which evolved in the context of communal living. It's the "delicate fruit of a mature civilization" as Acton put it, and takes constant effort to preserve

Perhaps you are a PDA warrior caste autist like myself. Either way, well met. 🫡

The left has something substantive to add to the conversation about AI which is why it's bad for them to either pretend nothing is happening or pretend it can be banned

Verily and amen. Also, think tanks should consider hiring cartoonists.

Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 4d ago

I think the right move, which I don't see enough of, is developing a synthetic philosophy of how to co-exist with all this, as humans have had to try do in past industrial revolutions. If I could convince a think tank to hire a cartoonist, I'd be doing it tomorrow instead of between projects.

There's lots of stuff LLMs can't do, but if you want to disbelieve all the recent math, you have to believe a bunch of Fields Medalists with long track records are just straightforwardly lying about the thing they care most about. Here's a recent blog by Gowers: gowers.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/a...

A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro

We are all having to keep revising upwards our assessments of the mathematical capabilities of large language models. I have just made a fairly large revision as a result of ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, to whi…

When I was a kid there was this whole freakout about Wikipedia and using the internet for research. Teachers would warn us against it, say it’s not accurate enough. Now people who make their living distributing knowledge on the internet are doing that with AI. Epistemic ladder-pullers.

Pivot to lifting NOW

How will we be able to trust science communicators who bow to mob pressure to avoid saying the truth Now more than ever we need people who are willing to *use* the trust they’ve built up to help communicate essential truths to the public!

Jonathan Jarry@jonathanjarry.bsky.social · 5d ago

Trust, I’d argue, is the most important thing we have as scinece communicators. People come to us because they trust that *we* have done the work to figure out what is true and what isn’t and we can explain it to them. Once that trust is broken, it’s really hard to get it back.
