Of the hexbear users that have been site banned in the last month, a few people were ban evading, and three people got in a fight in the BAFTAs thing and all got temp banned for toxicity (deserved based on their comments IMO). This comment seems more like shit stirring by an alt account than actual criticism of policy.

The only way to be sure when it happens is to know when the most possible people are taking a break from the news, by the looks of it, it will now happen this weekend. Sorry marmite, all your high quality analysis cannot compare the immortal science of the 
we love vague posting /s
Good idea! I think this rule/norm should actually extend past just metaposts to news/pop culture related stuff. As an example, this post should note the context around the referenced comment in the body of the text, e.g. “this is about the BAFTAs”. When I first read that post I forgot about the controversy the comment was referring to, which confused me for a while as I thought he was making a totally different argument.
Yeah, I see their point. I drink a ton, and have never had a hangover.
That’s because all I drink is water

His voice in that clip is entirely different, no tangents even.
Fundamentally, I dont think we’ll be able to get AGI on silicon, including even whole brain emulation.
I actually disagree on this, I think that the silicon manufacturing capabilities required for AGI have been available since the mid-late 2010s, but the software and knowledge required to actualize it is still decades away. Silicon based processing is incredibly powerful, even with the brute force techniques we currently use. The two advantages that I see for organic computation is the 3D network of logic cells, and the ability to process with analog signals. If silicon chips had money poured into analog processing, combined with their increased power budget, I think that they could easily do what we do using a mid-range chip.
Look, I am really trying not to humanize and don’t know enough about this shit to say whether an AI system will just “wake up” and act completely unprompted if you feed it enough parameters
LLMs are just math operations. It is no more likely to “wake up” than the code that displays Hexbear on your screen.
All of this shit gets worse and worse the deeper into the rabbit hole you go and I’m getting pretty deep
All you are doing is reading fiction from tech companies, it isn’t deep.

I think its ironic and he is making fun of white chauvinists, but since its the internet I have no way to know.
They are going to bomb Iran during the super bowl aren’t they? Trump won’t be there, and it’s a weekend so the markets are closed 
That looks like a picture from a cookbook, nice job!

I have seen people on reddit discussing martyrdom with hundreds of upvotes
I haven’t protested before, so this may be a naive question, but why don’t people bring long sticks to act as pseudo spears? I don’t think there are as many restrictions on carrying big wooden sticks as there are for guns, and a wall of spears is a pretty imposing target, even if the cops have shields. Is it too difficult to have people form ranks?
Have you not seen the fedposting? Its all over the MN reddits, especially in the smaller posts.
users/day has been slowly declining over the past few months, but I have noticed more high quality posts/comments in the past few weeks than I did two months ago. I would have expected the constant news events over the past week to increase our user count by a lot, but it didn’t seem to have an effect.
Its like how a bunch of reddits got that gun turret for
