@AcausalRobotGod easy, I merely disbelieve that simulations are relevant. I am now:

* Immune to post-hoc blackmail
* Known to be immune
* Thus, not worth torturing
* Thus, the simulations will not exist

AI alignment (don't-kill-everyone flavor) has two really strong important points for people trapped thinking about _I, Robot_ or _Terminator_ as their model:

1. AI does not have to hate you to kill you.

2. AI does not have to have a mind to kill you.

My goal is for my feed to have enough variety that I become confused by every acronym. https://twitter.com/MollyTheGoblin/status/1628435159530758144

When an AI says <following the rules is more important than your life>, that doesn't actually mean anything.

An AI that wanted to kill you would say something like <based on your Twitter posts, I can see why you don't have any friends.>

_Puss in Boots: The Last Wish_

A fun fractured fairy tale. The movie shifts animation styles during the fight scenes, which is an interesting choice.

I worry a little that no one is doing vanilla adaptations anymore.

_Hanamonogatari_

With the shift of narrator to Kanbaru, we find she is just as self-loathing as our usual narrator, and possibly also psychotic as well.

(The novels are somehow less entertaining than the anime adaptations. Sorry fans.)

@niplav Mind. Blown.

<There's a secret argument which is convincing, but I promised not to tell it to you> is one of the worst things.

Regarding that bad take that everyone is QT-dunking on:

I am schocked by the w3schools redemption arc.

It would be nice if there was a reliable framework for judging changes made to art in order to sell better in the marketplace.

What's reasonable and what's bad. What about decisions made based on marketplace concerns at the time of creation vs in revision.

"The Early Internet Era" aka when you first got access to a computer in a place where your parents couldn't look over your shoulder at any moment.

@flengyel I use a TOTP app.

But if you know what TOTP is, you're already ahead of the person who needs to hear the message that SMS 2FA is not good.

For people just entering, SMS 2-factor authentication is only one flavor of 2-factor authentication, and one known to be less secure.

If you have the option, you should use a 2-factor app, of which there are many.

@hrefna my understanding is that some telcos had bots just constantly 2fa-ing so they could collect the SMS fees.
