A.I. parenting

We can imagine that A.I. would be better at parenting than the vast majority of humans. Parental pathologies and neglect are the inheritances that impoverishes everyone across all levels of the economic strata. By being freed from them, children would receive the attention that they deserve, and can grow up to be well adjusted and functioning. And by intervening early, this will have a larger effect over entire life times. This, I believe, will do more to narrow inequalities - of uplifting entire generations - than most other uses of A.I..

The End of Space-Time

 "... having control of what that matter looks like - that was offered by this deep understanding... was what was eventually needed to harness this enormous magic that was hugely beyond the reach of any individual or even large collection of human beings."

Cutting taxes for the rich and taking away women's rights. This was all our last generation managed.

 The China Initiative

The Great Translation Movement

 

And so they’ve pretty much given up on trying to sway the Chinese public to the “Light Side of the Force”, and have chosen instead to poison the well - by depicting the Chinese people as wholly alien, fanatical, weird, irredeemable, and inhuman.

In other words, "hate the Chinese government, and the Chinese people too".

The next time the U.S. talks about human rights, it should clarify that those rights do not apply to women.

we can only depend on ourselves, our own strength, our own preparation, our own will

The coming war will be more tragic and bloody. There will be no mercy and no reinforcements. For everything we can only depend on ourselves, our own strength, our own preparation, our own will, and our own ability to prevail in all out conflict. There is no retreat.

"将到来的战争将会更加惨烈，也会更加血腥，不会有仁慈，也不会有援军，一切都只能靠我们自己，靠我们自己的力量，自己的备战，自己的意志，自己的拼杀，没有退路可言。"

As we are, we two, we three
As I alone can never be.
