Since Eliezer has forsaken us in favor of posting on Facebook, can somebody with an account please link to his posts? His page cannot be read by someone who is not logged in, but individual posts can be read if the url is provided. As someone who abandoned his Facebook account years ago, I find this frustrarting.

Thank you! This is great.

Why would you not create a sockpuppet facebook account for the purposes of reading posts you want to read?

Not speaking for above poster: because that's not actually trivial - you need a real fake phone number to receive validation on, etc. Also, putting fake data into a computer system feels disvirtuous enough to put me off doing it further.

Comment author: Elo 21 January 2015 09:20:21AM 4 points [-]

facebook still does not have my phone number. Not sure what you did to need a phone number verification...

I misremembered, you are correct. I was possibly instead frustrated with finding a temporary email that it would accept (they block the most common disposables I think).

Interesting. I consider poisoning big surveillance/marketing databases to be virtuous X-D

I don't like to frustrate the poor databases' telos, it is not at fault for the use humans put its data to.

(Yes, I realise this is silly. It's still an actual weight in the mess I call a morality; just a small one.)

Comment author: Lumifer 22 January 2015 12:53:56AM *  4 points [-]

The database is only techne in that context, its own telos lies in maintaining nice tables and properly responding to queries -- things I do not mess with :-)
