I think Star Citizen was the true NFTs before NFTs became a thing. Essentially the same thing as this with cosmetic differences at best.
Especially funny when you remember he got kicked out from PayPal for insisting on Windows Server intead of a unix platform.
Makes sense. Since buying Twitter he has seemingly prioritized (minimizing) its benefit to humanity even at the cost of profits and commercial interests.

Basic Bayesian reasoning. Assuming the near-certain and certainly not at all racist (except in the good way of course) prior that any insititution from Chiyeena should be considered a malevolent and incompetent actor, P(LL) turns out very high.
Now one might object that there have been multiple outbreaks of various coronaviruses in the last handful of decades, quite a few of which became or had the potential to become pandemics, and as far as any credible evidence is concerned, all of them were zoonotic in origin. Thus we should, absent strong evidence to the contrary, assume zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2 as the default null hypothesis. However, this postulate is debunked by the fact that it doesn't explain how the commies are evil and out to get us.
Calling it a majority might be unwarranted. EAs have bought a lot of mosquito nets, and most of those donations were probably not made with the thinking "can't lift-and-shift this old brain of mine into the cloud if everyone dies of malaria".
That said, the data presented on that page is incredibly noisy, with a very small sample size for the individual respondents who specified the cause they were donating to and numbers easy to skew with a few big donations. There's also not much in there about the specific charities being donated to. For all I can tell they could just be spinning some AI bullshit as anything from public health to criminal justice reform. Speaking of which,
AI charities (which is not equivalent to simulated humans, because it also includes climate change, nearterm AI problems, pandemics etc)
AI is to climate change as indoor smoking is to fire safety, nearterm AI problems is an incredibly vague and broad category and I would need someone to explain to me why they believe AI has anything to do with pandemics. Any answer I can think of would reflect poorly on the one holding such belief.

BigTech, which critically depends on hyper-targeted ads for the lion share of its revenue, is incapable of offering AI model outputs that are plausible given the location / language of the request.
Hardly surprising given how insistently the ad industry seems to be to show me ads for things I actively dislike or otherwise wildly missing with the products, services or attention seekers it tries to match to my interests and demographic profile.
If it is indeed true that AI companies just do naive search-and-replaces on the inputs to have more diversity in the outputs, that seems like a really crude and low-effort solution and also way more giving a shit than I would expect from an AI company.
Ultimately I think the main disagreements between me and hackernewses is twofold. I don't mind seeing black people, but I also don't take LLMs and ML image generation models seriously as a tool for anything other than shitposting and spam production.

All those years and thousands of person-hours of education and public awareness campaigning. The incredible work put into organizing efforts to inform the populace through PSAs, grassroots programs and viral influencers. Tireless attempts to work with educational institutions to make this common knowledge, but a lot of you all still don't get it. Ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape
