• Commented on Happy 21st Century!
  Hmm it seems that my reply at 673 got rost in transration or something similar. I probably accidentally typed something that triggers HTML formatting. anyway, 673 was supposed to be a short sentence of love re: quoting our recent Russian...
• Commented on Happy 21st Century!
  Oooh my moment of <3 from 661 was the Darkest Dungeon misquote connecting our new russian commenter with british pivot. So good....
• Commented on Happy 21st Century!
  Greg, just try googling the fragments she posts. For example (from 661 because rl intrudes), "we won you lost" is trumpists saying and a youtube video. Nick Land connects to many things but try first to read the Guardian article...
• Commented on Happy 21st Century!
  Greg, our cat in a diamond offers very densly packed nested information and a very different point of view (from the rest of the blogertariat). I understand that she might be incomprehensible, but it is due to information density and...
• Commented on The Pivot
  When talking about China, this might shed some light: https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2018/06/07/china-workshop-challenging-the-misconceptions/...
• Commented on Happy 21st Century!
  This seems weirdly appropriate: https://zerohplovecraft.wordpress.com/2018/05/11/the-gig-economy-2/ Also, love reading posts from mother-of-nine. Surprised by the level of hostility to her. She is truly like a Festival smacking into Kafkian AustroHungarian bureaucracy, with all the radioactive fallout <3...
• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  ..which is more or less Scott's point, though he doesn't talk about neurons - any sufficiently complex computational process that is not completely reversible would be OK (so, you can have AI in classical computers, you just can't have completely...
• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  @Araujo: It seems that we have very different ideas of Scott's idea in a nut..shell (pun intended). He explicitly states that some sort of Knightian uncertainty might be needed for "free will" and really doesn't claim at all that it...
• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  Scott's conjecture is explicitly stated as an idea with no concrete evidence. It is elegant and neatly tides up a lot of stuff, from encrypted lookup tables to Boltzman brains to quantum torture, so just by its elegance, it is...
• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  Greg, the Chinese state is not communist (or Marxist) except in its name, and the whole article was about surveillance under capitalism - private companies serving the state interests, for profit. I see no similarities with USSR or Stasi, and...

• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  Going back to the thread root article, here is a link on how exactly does life look when capitalism meets Big Brother in modern China: https://www.buzzfeed.com/meghara/the-police-state-of-the-future-is-already-here?utm_term=.hsA1g2pVd#.abb5q2dJb There is a similar WSJ article but I don't want to spam with links...
• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  The comments on that article are also worth reading. Scott Aaronson attracts heavyweights....one would almost say, it attracts...Boltzmanlike brains :)...
• Commented on Dude, you broke the future!
  So, 600+ posts into the discussion, and no one mentioned the hypothesis which binds consciousness, quantum physics and simulated universe in one tidy knot? I refer, of course, to this funny piece by Scott Aaronson (Shtetl optimized): https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1951 I like...
