What does it matter? We’d ignore whatever AI says just like anosognosics ignore “your arm is paralyzed”.
Then I wonder how anosognosics perceive the offending assertions? They deny them, but can they repeat them back? Write them down? Can they pretend their arm is paralyzed? Can they correctly identify paralysis in other people?
We should find a way to induce anosognosia temporarily.
Parent voted back up to zero, because people shouldn’t actually lose karma for comments like that, because some worded praise is human and good, and because it won’t contribute to noise significantly, because insightful and informative type comments will get voted higher and will thus appear before it.
Yo MBlume, I’m happy for you and I’mma let you finish, but Omega has the best boxes of all time!
This post tests how much exposure comments to open threads posted “late” get. If you are reading this then please either comment or upvote. Please don’t do both and don’t downvote. When the next open thread comes, I’ll post another test comment as soon as possible with the same instructions. Then I’ll compare the scores.
If the difference is insignificant, a LW forum is not warranted, and open threads are entirely sufficient.
PS: If you don’t see a test comment in the next open thread (e.g. I’ve gone missing), please do post one in my stead. Thank you.
Edit: Remember that if you don’t think I deserve the karma, but still don’t want to comment, you can upvote this comment and downvote any one or more of my other comments.
It’s dangerous, expensive, and therefore absolutely awesome. You’re just jealous of all the normal people with cool cars, and that they don’t let you drive due to your left arm paralysis.

Something is missing here, a fourth term: [..] the unknown knowns—things we don’t know that we know. That’s the unconscious! That’s ideology!

I object to speaking unlike ordinary people do in ordinary life. Your suggestion would make this community even more insular.
JUST HALF AN HOUR!?
Are you guys still not tired of trying to shoehorn a reddit into a forum?
Boring from the perspective of any onlookers not the wirehead.
Indeed. Association fallacy. Eliezer might not think much of his loss, but it would still be seen by people as a loss for “the atheists” and a victory for “the theists”. Debate to win!
GOD DAMN IT!! I WAITED SO LONG FOR ELIEZER’S KARMA TO GO JUST A BIT ABOVE 9000! KAJ SOTALA, YOU RUINED IT, YOU BASTARD, HOW COULD YOU! THAT’S IT, I’M QUITTING THE INTERNETS!
Since there are people who do have tails that we can perceive just fine, it’s almost certain that people who don’t have tails really don’t.
The analysis fails to take into account the cost of buying and raising of cats.
That there is delicious cake.
