I'll give this author +10 bayes points for noticing Trump does unpredictable batshit stuff

+10 bayes points

Has someone on LW already proposed a BayesCoin or have I just figured out how to steal lunch money from all rationalists at once

Thanks Scott, never change.

Not to worry, he never will!

“Do not use for anything.”

That's really harsh since I have a few bad books that are at least useful as monitor stands

I agree with him insofar as Trump and his lackeys definitely think and act as if it was the "autocratic branch" and both the legislature and judiciary don't seem to be interested in disabusing them of that notion

This is actually an accurate representation of most "gifted olympiad laureate attempting to solve a freshman CS problem on the blackboard" students I've went to uni with.

Jumps to the front after 5 seconds from the task being assigned, bluffs that the problem is trivial, tries to salvage their reasoning for 5 minutes when questioned by the tutor, turns out the theorem they said was trivial is actually false, sits down having wasted 10 minutes of everyone's time.

OpenBrain "responsibly" elects not to release its model publicly to avoid it being called "underwhelming" and, to use a technical term, "gobshite".

It's eugenics but as a religious cult for reactionaries

Yud is that creepy nerd from your middle school who wrote disturbing fan fiction, but it wasn't just a phase and now he has the aforementioned cult

Misogyny is the free square, easy to forget

There's a fucking for profit that does this and it's used by the god damn USA Speaker of the House so that his son can monitor his fondling

While all the comments are correct, i.e. what the fuck is wrong with you, this is also wrong since it immediately leaves the duck unsupervised after the first trip. So really not sure what you're trying to prove here.
