Their point is that the name and logo are clearly drawing from the Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, with all the potential baggage that comes with it. It's an interesting choice.
The novel was the first popular codifier of the concepts of strongly superhuman ASI and hard-takeoff singularity, literally the work that introduced these ideas to the then quasi-New Atheist hangers-on among the kuro5hin crowd who became the initial core of what would develop into the follower base for singularitarianism. It was quite well written for that purpose, with enough sex and action to paper over the slow parts, and a real grasp of what it feels like when time contracts and dilates at once in those dolly-zoom moments where the universe is different forever and nothing outwardly changes. Combined with the seductive appeal and literally universal scope of the ideas that power its plot, it is no wonder the novel should have left so strong an impression on a few.
Someone intentionally invoking that history is interesting indeed. Someone doing it by accident might be more so. But I already gave that choice the name I judge it deserves.
A better title would be "Likelihood of moral injury differs among different combat contexts," though that doesn't serve as quite a catchy title as the original.
The problem with "moral injury more common among those with high moral standards" is that "moral standards" is not what is being observed, rather, the study specifically finds "diverging effects of KIC on veterans from combat-oriented and peacekeeping missions-" making no judgement about personal "moral standards."
Your "high moral standards" bit seems to be an assumption about the difference between peacekeeping forces and combat-oriented forces (which sometimes even overlap) rather than something to do with the actual research article at hand.
The democrats seem as likely to choke down on speech, but it tends to be speech that represses others. The republicans choke down on speech that contradicts their vision of society or their personal moral compass. Although both contradict free speech absolutism, they are IMO fundamentally different.
If I were possessed of a religious faith that considered my name to be so holy that it must not be spoken, would a law against saying my name repress others, or would lack of that law repress me?
I find democrats efforts misguided, but rarely are they "my views only, exclude all others". They don't typically involve library book challenges, what appear to be ctrl+f searches for specific terms that relate to people unlike them, don't involve "report on your coworkers" type demands, and so on.
And most of all they don't seem to identify any and all differing views as "enemies" and so on.
Why is Grok not in their benchmarks? I don't see comparisons to Grok in any recent announcements about models. In fact, I see practically no discussion of Grok on HN or anywhere except Twitter in general.
A lot of Government contracts that are on the surface multi-million, even billion dollars, aren't payed out immediately in full. Thus, at first glance it may look like they've spent more than has left their pockets
Yes, when you're not from this country (a foreigner), you need a citizenship card to reside and work here (or a visa). Thanks for verifying that for me.
