I was content to damn them with faint praise and save everyone the hassle. EY is a reasonably good writer who repackaged a lot of good ideas (Kahneman et al) and came up with a lot of less impressive original ideas (all the parts you’ve highlighted, many more). His most enjoyable work was fiction.

I can’t speak for others but I’ve come to see the Less Wrong / hardline rationalist crowd as having had some interesting ideas despite the Sam Bankman Fried of it all. Rationalwiki can be rather snarky, but can be a good resource.

Automation can be great, when it comes from the bottom-up.

I’ve never been impressed with my fellow Americans who talk shit on the French. We have mostly let go of our revolutionary spirit, and they never did. We would do well to pick up where we left off at Blair mountain.

Forgive me, senpai

Time to create a satanic AI

If we can get serious eco reforms done (and the word “if” is doing a lot of work here) it’ll come down to which has the least emissions per mile.

We could also do more airship freight to facilitate economic growth in places that have poor infrastructure, or through terrain it would be too damaging to cut a highway through.

But then, when have we ever sacrificed money for a better world?

I’m a basic little shit so, I basically use a correct horse + number password for my PW manager

Rainbow tables and presumably newer stuff I haven’t heard of make this sort of thing weaker than it used to be
