Eliezer Yudkowsky wrote an article in Time today calling for an indefinite moratorium on AGI development. While I don't agree with every detail, I think it's basically right, and if there were an open letter proposing what Eliezer is proposing here, I would sign it

#Bolivia If you are wondering about the impartiality of the current "coup" case against interim pres. Jeanine Añez, the criminal court refused to admit as evidence the Constitutional Court's official Nov. 2019 communique endorsing the constitutionality of her succession.
🔵#ANF | #Política El comunicado del TCP es del mismo 12 de noviembre de 2019, fue emitido horas después que asumiera Añez la presidencia.

If you had perfect judgment, almost everyone would agree that while you were often right, you were often wrong too.

IMPORTANT: We @RiosDePie denounce the widespread abusive use of force by the police and the generalized state repression against the multi-sector protests taking place across #Bolivia, now in their third day. Thread 🧵🧵🧵

From the initial hesitance to admit that masks work to the current hesitance to admit that the first dose of the vaccine gives you very strong protection against Covid, the whole pandemic has been a year-long demonstration of why the Noble Lie never works in practice.

#Bolivian police this week:
- Tortured Añez's nephew to confess her hiding location.
- Kidnapped the son of Añez's minister Núñez and forced him to sign five blank pages.
- Told Áñez she was going to a hospital but took her to a high-security prison.

Some hoped Luis Arce would be a moderating force in Bolivia. Instead, his government is arresting opponents, pardoning supporters accused of crimes, and purging diplomats and Central Bank managers, @RaulPenaranda1 reports in incisive @AmerQuarterly report

Strongly seconded. The Russians trolls aren't random crazies, they are smart people putting full-time work and thought into how to screw up our thinking. There's a huge difference between random results and people deliberately trying to achieve a thing.

Has there or has there not been a corresponding change in the actual treatment of children at the border? Were they in cages before and warm shelters now? Cages both? Warm shelters both? Where do I find out what happened? (TBC I'd simply give them citizenship myself.)

I don't know how much time I have left in this commentary business, but it's my personal vow that however long that is, and whatever lies ahead, I will never speak one word of ill against any of the people in House and Senate who did the right things this week and this day.

#Bolivia leaders of the #indigenous territory #TIPNIS denounce that their offices in Trinidad have been seized by the external organization Conisur, aligned with the governing MAS party, with help from the police and state employees.
