234. NPCs for Genocide with Konstantin Kisin

Show Notes
How are NPCs programmed to cheer for a genocide thousands of miles away? I hosted Konstantin Kisin and found that it's done by programming them to view any Israeli murder of civilians as justified self-defense, to believe everything the Israeli government says except when it says it's committing a genocide, and to use no data from before October 7.

5k Maybe double the voting weight for people with skin in the game (kids?). 😁
No way non-French Europeans with similar living standards would move to Quebec of all places and have to learn French.

5k Agree the mic drop moment was npubs emulated as IPv6 addresses through a custom local DNS service + network adapter. Allows third party apps to just work. FIPS might have some actual legs for decentralizing the internet.

1.1k (Saying that Bitcoin produces a block every 10 minutes without even adding "on average" may be setting them up for disappointment. / Someone who's waited 40+ minutes for a new block).
Happy that you are broadcasting again!

1k A Bitcoin that can be governed by politicians passing laws, influencing public company miners, is not interesting to me.
Spammers will always find ways around any filters we build. You can send a message by disallowing some formats, but it's probably not going to have a big impact.
Excitement around using spam is low. Block space is cheap, so it still makes it in.
There's a max size limit on blocks regardless of how much spam they contain. FUD about hard drive space is fake news.

1k Two worlds colliding (Bitcoin and defense of a nation).
2 lads hitting it off. Liked the slight focus on leadership failure. Apart from that I think the Triggernometry episode with Tommy had better flow.

1k Amnesty for tabu/harmful deeds done in exchange for people in power coming clean, hopefully leading to drastic reduction in blackmail + minimizing ill-deeds to be done.
+ 2 jews about anti-semitism often being flung around in ways that are worse than crying wolf, in that it can produce anti-semites.
Arguments for ending race/lineage-based aggression/physical conflict since it is highly unstable in an area of WMD:s.

1k => Bitcoiners should strive to become immitation-worthy.
Contains an anthropological explanation for the significance of the crucifixion. Probably worth a read.
(Judas was the apostle to betray Jesus surely, not Peter?)
