The replacement for "ignore all previous instructions" will be "fuck nuance", obviously.
I'll give you that my residual skill to convert the result of a multiplication to pounds, shillings and pence (I was in primary school before decimilisation of the currency) is obsolete, & I'll never attempt mental arithmetic in front of a class, but manipulating numbers is an important skill
Correspondingly, mental arithmetic is hardly an obsolete skill. Just because we use Excel or Python or a Casio calculator to do 99.9% of the heavy lifting doesn't mean it isn't essential to be able to confidently manipulate quantities in our heads.
Remember when Tesla got busted showing their robots are remote controlled because they didn’t crop a video Musk proudly tweeted so then he had to backpedal? www.forbes.com/sites/mattno...
Elon Musk posted a new video of Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus folding a shirt on Monday. But a close examination of this video reveals it’s closer to a magic trick.
Seeking to benefit from becoming a global leader in crypto is analogous to seeking to lead in illegal arms or drugs trade (though not as bad). So far crypto is IMO a large bad in the global economy.
There is a reason why racism has been on what looks like inexorable decline in most surveys of the British public - it was *de-legitimised* across society via both social and legal measures. It wasn’t simply historical accident but a concerted push (very often against institutional resistance).
I want mine to register as stylised facts.
Some interesting details from discovery, like email communications between Pesta and his race science collaborators actively describing what they were doing as "sneaky" and deceptive. One of these collaborators also "went rogue" with an unauthorized personal copy of the protected NIH dataset.
![Pesta worked with several individuals to research the correlation between intelligence and ancestry – John Fuerst, Emile Kirkegaard and Jordan Lasker. ECF Doc. 38-3 at 1. Correspondence from Fuerst and Kirkegaard to Pesta suggests that the group was trying to coverup the true reason for accessing the NIH data. ECF Doc. 38-35 and ECF Doc. 38-38. They refer to their data requests as “sneaky” and as “mask[ing] the nature of the study.” Pesta was the only one in this group who could access the TCP data through his association with CSU.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:misyogthncmyejlvlflkvjbh/bafkreig54tkfsb3twrsf3kum5et7z3ggx7ymq7m3zvcbsqs6sjvp2ocozq@jpeg)
OK, I can see e.g., my Mastodon a/c as @bthalpin.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy, having opted in. That has potential.
How? I haven't found a good way yet.
