I don't know about anyone else...

...but I'm pretty hyped.

For context, Disney basically went to a bunch of anime studios and said "Make whatever you want with Star Wars stuff. Ignore budget." And yes, Trigger is one of them.

"""
Dr. Helen Chu, a doctor in Seattle who was running a study on flu prevalence back in February 2020, ... realized that she could test her flu samples for coronavirus, did it, and sure enough discovered that COVID had reached the US. The FDA sprung into action, awarded her a medal for her initiative, and - haha, no, they shut her down because they hadn’t approved her lab for coronavirus testing. She was trying to hand them a test-and-trace program all ready to go on a silver platter, they shut her down, and we had no idea whether/how/where the coronavirus was spreading on the US West Coast for several more weeks.

Although the FDA did kill thousands of people by unnecessarily delaying COVID tests, at least it also killed thousands of people by unnecessarily delaying COVID vaccines. ...

Every single thing the FDA does is like this. Every single hour of every single day the FDA does things exactly this stupid and destructive, and the only reason you never hear about the others is because they’re about some disease with a name like Schmoe’s Syndrome and a few hundred cases nationwide instead of something big and media-worthy like coronavirus. I am a doctor and sometimes I have to deal with the Schmoe’s Syndromes of the world and every f@$king time there is some story about the FDA doing something exactly this awful and counterproductive.

There's a minority of rationalists, out of power and especially without influence in the U.S., that take that sort of view, yes. I just tend to think about the majority of rationalists, those in power who determine U.S. policies, who are Ayn Rand devotees and 'it's all about me'.

Hmm, gonna put one point out there...

Everyone always wants free stuff and wants to have the best treatment for people.
We all scoff at amazon employees being treated like shit, being overworked and all that jazz.
But we also want our free shipping the next day, we want our stores to be open on weekends and holidays and available after working hours.
we want our commodities delivered at very cheap prizes,....

While free healthcare seems like a no-brainer, it won't really be free. It would just mean that taxes will need to be increased and everyone will be paying for anyone's healthcare.

In Europe, I feel we have a lot of taxes, which I don't mind paying for myself as we get lots of good stuff in return. But even living in (one of) the most taxed country in the world, I get constant reminders how we're up to our necks in debt and even through all this, how many faults there are in all of the infrastructures and how often budgets need to get cut left and right, resulting in crazy circumstances.

Being a bit of a devil's advocat, since I definitely hope the American system won't take over in europe when it comes to healthcare or any other form of privatisation. But i can imagine why it's a model that exists and Europe might not be far from adopting stuff either.

I sometimes steam vegetables, but never messages.  Back in the old days, when people communicated by snail mail, I've heard that the government would sometimes steam envelopes to open them surreptitiously to inspect the contents.  That might be just a myth though.

Mmm, true, militaristic would not be a Dashie trait.  Though it is perhaps more befitting of royalty.  I appreciate that they aren't literally just recycling old characters, though, if that's true.

Princess of Pop is...pretty opposite the leader of the pegasi military, for sure.  I wouldn't count it out yet, though, I'll still wait and see how it turns out.

(a) All algorithms are universal and valid, regardless of whether they are executed.

(b) Cognition is a sub algorithm whose behavior is to perceive properties of the parent algorithm describing it.

(c) Any algorithm giving rise to cognitive entities will be perceived as reality by the entities described.

Vision is perhaps the most miraculous super power that we have.

The ability to detect and discern objects at practically infinite distances without interacting with them is mind-boggling to me.

Stars, planets, galaxies, all forever out of reach and untouchable, and yet just by looking up (and sometimes with a little help from lenses) we can know they are there, know their colors, their shapes, their motion... We detect and internalize their presence and properties without ever even getting close to them.

Passively gaining knowledge from a distance.

If we were all blind and knew nothing about vision, the idea of an ability where someone can immediately know details about almost everything outside of their range of hearing would be relegated to the realm of fantasy.

And yet here we are with this very ability.

Absolutely incredible.

I don't exactly have evidence or expertise to say for sure, but I'm convinced over 90% of these facebook style AI generated stories (like the popular Harry Potter one) are completely faked. Sometimes you get the sense that it's real but just the one of thousands of trials that wasn't totally incoherent, but other times it's just so much of a "joke" that you know it's a person writing it.

Honestly, my sense is that unless they say WHAT the AI that "wrote" it specifically was (like, "GPT-3 trained on the Batman wiki"), it's probably fake. Not that such a line is a guarantee either, but you know. Probabilities, likelihoods.

I mean, that's the appeal of it.

It's almost autumn, ya know? Lots of people are getting in cringe relationships in preparation for winter during the autumn time.

Thing is, it's August, not fall yet. So the relationship atmosphere is very.... Cringe/creepy (just think, the birdies matted in spring and are paired up already. Most of the animal kingdom is finishing up with matting season and going into familial-spousal relationships (or however you describe that after-intial-mating-season family feel in the air, pertaining to each species.) The possessiveness of some relationships.
