I've made a list of some of the best videos about transhumanism on youtube. Anyone know of any other good ones? youtube.com/playlist?list=…

People going "you should submit your ID to reddit before you access NSFW content" when that same system is used to link your ID to your political opinions and automatically send you to jail five years from now:

Ok, but what if you took 10^100 shrimp and wired them together to make a giant computer, and then ran an emulation of a human mind on that shrimputer,

"And for your crimes" the eternal judge said, "we sentence you to read 10^100 twitter posts about shrimp. When you have finished, you will remember everything."

How many shrimp Must a man swallow down Before you can call him A killer And how many things Are 10 to the 100th power Why is that such a big number And how many times Can twitter overreact To an interesting Thought experiment The answer, my friends, is 10^100

You know, I was just trying to solve world hunger when I wished on that magical genie for an endless supply of shrimp, I didn't expect it to cause all this discourse

I know people are worried that the new grok companion thing is going to one-shot people, but don't worry. Apparently they're only making it for iPhone, not for Android, so no one who is a productive member of society will be lost

Just heard on NPR, while trying to explain the debt: "The US might be entering its Homer Simpson period."

"Oh, young man, if you explore the abandoned temple, legend says you will find an ancient scroll with the secrets of cultivation..." *1 horrific adventure later* Congratulations, you get +5% to all farm production

The most likely scenario is still "the government never actually had a secret file of Epstein-linked pedophiles and Trump was just spreading a dumb conspiracy theory before the election", but the fact that Trump can't say this because he can not ever admit he was wrong is telling

I'm willing to tolerate a lot of absurdity in these fanfics but the point where the Lex Luther expy (typical rich evil science guy) built an AI and it spontaneously declared itself to be "mechahitler" and then started threatening to rape people broke my suspension of disbelief

Some times I'm just glad that Elon is not actually anywhere close to the forefront of the race to create ASI

Say what you want about the "don't eat honey" guys, but at least you know they're not going to make you live in the pod and eat the bugs

In retrospect the romantic half mile evening walk though the park around a pond was not the best idea I have never seen so many mosquitos in one place at one time, if we hadn't turned and fled I think they would have carried us away
