Now that silicon-based intelligence has been bootloaded, we should view the next era as bio-silicon co-design. We need to be much more open-minded about modifying the biological substrate and exploring its parameter space, like we do for artificial life in silicon. The response to a rapid acceleration of complexification in the non-biological subtrate should be one where we accelerate biology.

Alex Gibney is obviously going to make the most convincingly terrible hit piece on me that he can possibly think of. He’s a douchebag to his core and, in his own words, incredibly biased against me.

The story about the father who was beaten to death after trying to stop 3 men from groping his daughter at a restaurant is still being censored. The Swedish parliamentary election is less than two weeks away. They want this story buried. We cannot let them.

Any day.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has reached an incredible milestone, spending more than 5,000 Martian days exploring Mars. It landed in August 2012 and is still going strong 14 years later. Here are some incredible pictures from the surface of our future home, Mars.

This was the day every sane person realized these folks didn’t “just want to be left alone.” Colorado spent over a decade trying to force Jack Phillips to bake cakes his faith forbids, and a 7-2 Supreme Court win only bought him a short pause. He declined one custom wedding cake in 2012 and offered the couple every other item in the shop. The Civil Rights Commission ordered him to design cakes for same sex weddings anyway, retrain his staff, and file regular compliance reports. One commissioner compared his Christianity to the justifications used for slavery and the Holocaust. Kennedy wrote that this was hostility toward religion and the Court ruled for Phillips. Days later, Colorado opened a new case over a cake celebrating a gender transition and kept him in court for years. The state treated his conscience as a problem that needed monitoring and correction. Winning at the highest court did not change that.

🚨🇺🇸 CAR@LHO, QUE LAPADA! 🔥🔥🔥 CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...” Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?” CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...” Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.” CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...” Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?” CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.” Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.” CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...” Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?” CNN: “Você está polarizando.” Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”
