  • The reason all the weird “rationalists” are worried by roko’s basilisk is because it basically uses all of their dumb arguments for friendly AI against them.

    So in the course of realizing why it’s wrong, a bunch of cultists either end up deprogramming themselves, or they just have a breakdown and go murder their landlord.


  • Because if a website doesn’t work in your browser, but it works in everyone else’s, no one will say “oh that website’s badly written”, instead they say “what a shitty browser”.

    So you have a huge web standard you have to respect, and then all the websites with non standard code you have to make work anyway.




  • You’re in a car. There’s probably a charging port there. Sucks if you don’t have a phone, but it sucked before when you didn’t have change.

    Parking has always been a privilege not a right, and if you’re not prepared you’re going to get a ticket.

    I get that it’s annoying but if my phone broke and I suddenly had to pay for parking with coins, I don’t know what I’d do either. Everything is cashless now, where would I get coins from?

    Because they’re fucking stupid.

    I can pick up a phone in either hand and type on it using only that hand, and I can play games using both hands at once. If I’m using a bracer, it means I can’t do anything else with either hand or use my off hand to interact with it.

    The only problem a bracer solves is not having pockets, but even then you still need to wear a bracer.
