I don’t know how one would settle the question but I’d venture to say that Theravada is not less close to the Western impression of Buddhism than other parts of Buddhism. Additionally, many people’s ideas of Buddhism is understood through t

Seems cool! I know basic Spanish from Duolingo but not enough to understand what it says to after a few rounds so my suggestion is that there is a side-by-side translated version of the conversation.

I assume he means that models will be fine-tuned (or otherwise steered) by developers to have submissive behavior.

Sounds like that to me too.

I would like a source for the first claim. When I read the preprint for this paper half a year ago it was actually one of their claims that to the best of their knowledge their Pong experiment was the first to show human neurons being ‘bett

Seems very unlikely to me that it would not be a combination. We have both rational and irrational parts, conscious and unconscious parts. I'd venture one does not have to look far in the anthropology literature to find good evidence t
