I wish researchers like Hinton would stick to discussing the tech. Anytime he says anything about linguistics or human intelligence he sounds like a CS major smugly raising his hand in Phil 101 to a symphony of collective groans.

Hinton is a good computer scientist (with an infinitesimally narrow window of expertise). But the guy is philosophically illiterate.

You’re not very bright, are you.

I’m vegan, but I don’t blame people for eating meat. I do blame them for using cruise ships.

If you can’t understand the difference between merely participating in society and deliberately making it worse, maybe you really are an orc.

I find it ironic she died in the ecological environment she was trying to destroy.

Driving a car isn't optional for most people. Similarly, not eating meat can be onerous in our culture. Both driving and meat eating fall under the so-called Plight of the Commons.

By contrast, taking a cruise ship is a gratuitous act of evil.

And if I ever got on a cruise ship feel free to celebrate my well-deserved demise.

An orc died by its own blade, and all the other orcs rose up in ululation, for the irony was not lost upon them, and the truth hurt.

RFK Jr is despicable, but Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals from microplastics are ABSOLUTELY wreaking havoc on human reproductive physiology. The evidence is overwhelming and this TechDirt article is frankly embarrassing.

I agree about Graphene OS, of course.

I’ve used Android since launch and occasionally switched back and forth with iOS. One of my main complaints is in virtue of Android’s versatility, which makes it less reliable and straightforward to use — no integrated password manager, no easy wireless connection to external computers, less smooth and pleasant (and easy) to use. Honestly, I’m just lazy. I want my text messages and calls migrated to my computer automatically, screen sharing, file sharing, passwords and security codes populating instantly, and so on.
