The main thing I don't understand is the full thought processes that leads to not seeing this as stealing opportunity from artists by using their work non consensually, without credit or compensation.
I'm trying to understand if folk who don't see this as stealing don't think that stealing opportunity is a significant thing, or don't get how this is stealing opportunity, or something else that I'm not seeing.
Makes sense. Do you think it's stealing to train on someone's data/work without their permission? This isn't a 'gotcha', btw - if you think it's not, I want to know and understand.
That's a pretty standard thing with bigoted bloggers/speakers/intellectuals.
Have a popular platform where you say 95% things which are ok/interesting/entertaining. And 5% to 10% poison (bigotry).
Then a lead in to something that's 90% ok/interesting/entertaining and 10% to 15% poison (bigotry).
Etc.
Atrioc explains it pretty well here, with Sam Hyde as an example:
Maybe there's a filtering effect for public intellectuals.
If you only ever talk about things you really know a lot about, unless that thing is very interesting or you yourself are something that gets a lot of attention (e.g. a polyamorous cam girl who's very good at statistics, a Muslim Socialist running for mayor in the world's richest city, etc), you probably won't become a 'public intellectual'.
And if you venture out of that and always admit it when you get something wrong, explicitly, or you don't have an area of speciality and admit to getting things wrong all the time, maybe there's a cap to how much of a 'public intellectual' you can become?
After all, maybe CNN, MSNBC, etc, don't want to risk having someone on their program who's likely to say that something they said, and the program broadcasted, was wrong?
Maybe less articles cite them as a source?
Ok, I was going to say that's a good one.
But this line ruins it for me:
So I think I'm wrong there but I could actually turn out to be right
Thank you for searching and finding it though!! Do you think other public intellectuals might have more/less examples?
Because it's not true - trying does exist.
In the comment's of Eliezer's post, I saw "Stop trying to hit me and hit me!" by Morpheus, which I like more.
Btw, for Slatestarcodex, found it in the first search, pretty easily.
An actual better analogy would be a company in a country whose gdp is growing faster than that of the country
