It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Someone makes a poll. Blue pill or red pill.

50% blue, everyone lives.

50% red, blue people die, red people live

Roko, the dumbest man alive

I don't understand why anyone would vote blue in this poll Can someone who voted blue please give their logic?

Something is seriously broken in this guy.

I have a deep and particular hatred for capital-r Rationalists because computer science is my passion and they have absolutely poisoned the discourse around artificial intelligence.

prisoner's dilemma is a solved game, how do any of these people think they're smart

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This is even dumber than the prisoner's dilemma. The prisoner's dilemma only requires one person breaking to save their ass and condemn everyone else. That makes a lot less sense when requiring 50% means that a handful of jackasses can't screw everyone else over.

I voted blue because I thought, "eh, I'm ready to die if I truly do live on a planet with people that vote red."

So you're saying the correct answer is...

spoilerVote blue no matter who?

Because it's incredibly fucked up to kill a large % of people just because Rationality says that there's a chance I might die. I have faith in the goodness of humanity, and I'd rather die than be complicit in the deaths of billions of innocents. Not only that, I rationally know that humans love to cooperate.

He literally only cares about himself and cannot imagine anyone else actually caring about eachother. any slight risk of damage to the self outweighs all direct harms to others

"An ai god in the distant future will make a sim that looks like me and be mean to it if i don't try to build the ai god" is such an incredibly bizarre thing to take seriously, so i'm not really surprised.

Game theory dorks malding that people keep choosing "cooperate" in the prisoner's dilemna.

Twitter isn't letting me see the context, is this set up so if everybody picks red, nobody dies?

If so, Strong Female Protagonist did it first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and he can't understand why people would pick blue.

This is your brain on liberalism.
