Perhaps the manufacturer of MMS actually specifically is trying to kill people?
On the contrary, adversarial questioners are often highly productive. I've already incited one of the best comments you've seen on LessWrong, haven't I?
Don't take too much credit. Steve_Rayhawk generated the comment by actively trying to help. But if his goal was to engage you in thoughtful and productive discussion, he probably failed, and it was probably a waste of his time to try. There happened to be this positive externality of an excellent comment - but that's the kind of thing that's generated as a result of doing your best to understand a complex issue, not adversarially mucking up the conversation about it.
Yes, my cognition is significantly motivated along these lines. Doesn't Hitler deserve some of the credit for the rapid development of computers and nuclear bombs? Perhaps I or someone like me will play a similar role in the development of AI?
Somehow I doubt that's the true cause of your behavior, but I'd be delighted to find out that I'm wrong.
Yup. And there's an established pattern on Less Wrong of consistently downvoted users that just get more and more trolly over time and end up getting banned, but waste a lot of everyone's time until it happens. Good thing AlphaOmega already Godwin'd themselves.
I can feel pain in dreams. I'm not sure if I can self-inflict pain in dreams (I've never tried), but I've definitely felt pain in dreams.
Just a gut reaction, but this whole scenario sounds preposterous. Do you guys seriously believe that you can create something as complex as a superhuman AI, and prove that it is completely safe before turning it on? Isn't that as unbelievable as the idea that you can prove that a particular zygote will never grow up to be an evil dictator? Surely this violates some principles of complexity, chaos, quantum mechanics, etc.? And I would also like to know who these "good guys" are, and what will prevent them from becoming "bad guys" when they wield this much power. This all sounds incredibly naive and lacking in common sense!
I think this comment is disingenuous, given your statements that the extinction of humanity is inevitable and that you have a website using evil AI imagery. http://lesswrong.com/lw/b5i/a_primer_on_risks_from_ai/64dq
Besides my dosage question: have you noticed any sleep benefits to supplementing potassium?
I think a general high water high electrolyte diet has benefited my sleep. I haven't noticed potassium immediately before bed decreasing sleep quality.
The first time I took supplemental potassium (50% US RDA in a lot of water)
How much is that in milligrams? Googling, I see different values for RDA. Also, I take it you were using some sort of bulk powder? (The gel caps all seem to be ridiculously small, like 99mg when the RDA is >3000mg!)
I think I've been going with 4.7 grams as RDA. And yes, bulk powder. Due to potential digestive upset, I typically don't administer more than 25% RDA now.

A Slower Speed of Light is a first-person game prototype in which players navigate a 3D space while picking up orbs that reduce the speed of light in increments:
Being non-anglo-saxon, I'm in a minority here. So you need to listen to me and keep me happy!!! You have to respect my opinions. Diversity is good. If you can't keep me happy, you're generally screwed as far as attracting (and subsequently not alienating) more non-anglo-saxons to this site.
The headline had me worried, but the article was pretty good.
Usually headlines are picked by an editor, not the person writing the article. Also agreed that this is pretty good. I didn't notice any factual inaccuracies, which by the standards of the media might actually make this an incredible article.

True. They're pretty similar chemicals, though.
And the suggested use is to mix it with acidic food..
