Maimonides’ statement that, "their [the Turks and the blacks] nature is like the nature of mute animals, and according to my opinion they are not on the level of human beings" (Guide For the Perplexed, Book III, Chapter 51)
https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/israel-and-anti-gentile-traditions/
Do you deny that this was written by the Jew Maimonides & or proclaim that this teaching by Maimonides that turks & blacks are not on the level of human beings should not be believed?
@RaHoWaJoe @william @doggel @nike
Maimonides’ assertion that whereas one who murders a Jew is subject to the death penalty, one who murders a non-Jew is not (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Murder 2:11). According to another leading commentator, indirectly causing the death of a non-Jew is no sin at all (Rabbi Yoel Sirkis, Bayit Hadash, commentary on Bet Yosef, Yoreh Deah 158

Maimonides writes: "As for Gentiles with whom we are not at war…their death must not be caused, but it is forbidden to save them if they are at the point of death; if, for example, one of them is seen falling into the sea, he should not be rescued...
(Mishneh Torah, Laws of Murder 4:11)

@lain I think it may be because the LLM is giving itself more context to correctly predict the next token, predicting the correct next step of a math problem should only need info about the previous steps, whereas properly predicting the tokens of the correct answer with only the initial statement may be more difficult
@lain This looks awesome, may I ask what software is this?
@mttaggart Thanks, I didn't know that

@mttaggart Plus all the advantages that can come with LLMs and said model could be replicated im other parts of the world. And I think whatever solution comes from that, it will be related to society actually caring about critical thinking of the people and not just mindlessly navigating life.
I'm aware that I may be too optimistic and that I may have biases I'm not aware of, but I think this perspective can still add value to the whole conversation.

@mttaggart Because truth is important, it has value, and something has value because it brings value (in terms of money, time, and whatnot) to ones life. And in the exact same way that in the past, societies that discovered metal working had an edge over other civilizations and forced said civilizations to also develop metal working. Civilizations that figure out how to manage this new situation will have and edge over others (part 4)

@mttaggart will only make that painful frame of time even longer. Also, I think that this issues with "Truth" can represent an opportunity for society to focus on critical thinking and evaluating what they hear. There is a cost in having untruthful information, for example, an investor with fake info will quickly lose all his money, a professional who can't properly do it's job due to fake info will quickly be fired, and so on (part 3)

@mttaggart Descentralized, federated, transparent regulation. Also regarding the job related stuff, you wrote how a publisher suddenly received way too many submissions and he just couldn't get through it, the way I see it, is that it's an increase in demand, and therefore probability to add jobs there. Don't get me wrong, transitioning from one model of work to another is always painful due to the firings and what not, but I think slowing development (part 2)
Mourning media
@mttaggart That was an interesting read, however, I half disagree with several points. First of all, the problem with regulation is the assumption that the regulator cares, imagine for example, if suddenly China or Russia where exclusively the ones in charge of regulation, would you like that? Likewise, if you ask a russian if he would like the US to be the sole regulator, I think he would hate it to. I'm not saying regulation is bad, just that there must be (part 1)
Oh, HELL NO!!
United Nations set to call on Americans to reduce meat consumption

@william @shortstories @nike
And thus, in the middle of a conversation about jews and genocide, you bring out other wars like in Syria and what not. Are you trying to imply that jews are behind those wars or something? Why do you hate jews so much? Lol
@william @shortstories @nike Thank you for clarifying your islamophobia and support of genocide in Gaza. I wasn't sure were you stood.
