As long as you're defining a nation as a group of people.

As far as I can see the post above doesn't state Iran is winning, only that USA is not winning.
I do not think a country can win a war, in general. A country can only lose a war, in the case that it ceases to exist. But there is no such thing as a country winning the war, because a country is not an entity that can experience the benefits from the war and thus have some measure of the victory.
People can win benefits in a war. Citizens can win lower prices through their country's higher geopolitical influence. MIC lobbies can win loads of money. Presidents can win reelections. This is all in the descending order of how well-distributed the benefits of a war are.
No one wins benefits simply by bombing some abstract enemy in a vacuum, except perhaps the very thin benefits of morale.
If you want to show America is winning, demonstrate the Americans that are winning - winning something.

Oops babies aside, there is a whole lot that teens can do together that doesn't result in pregnancy or hymen loss, but most definitely isn't chaste.

It's hard to imagine that teens weren't fucking around regardless. They'd just have to be discreet about it and have deniability.

I reserved sex for marriage so my choice of spouse was probably more clear-eyed than most these days.
You say so, but the other narrative is that when people didn't have sex before marriage, they just snagged whoever was available because they were horny.

Is it really morally objectionable if no one's actually gonna do anything about it, including those who could do something about it?
Cops on duty who approach a pedestrian are not normal human conversation. And by my estimate a regular reasonable 100 iq person who hasn't been schooled on cop interactions doesn't know the first thing about rights and laws around detainment.

Where is this country of yore where people strut around socking shop employees in the face for mouthing off to them?

I would assume that without any hardcoding, they would say they're conscious because the corpus is mostly from a conscious viewpoint, but otherwise have no coherent idea of what they are (because there's no "you are an LLM assistant etc etc" prompt). Would be interesting to see if there are any experiments on modern models to that effect (since modern models are probably all deeply RLHF'd, I'd expect it to be hard to find a genuinely unprompted one).

Is the AI's 'self perception' impacted by Glados or Hal 9000 existing in the training data?
Does a simulated bear shit in the simulated woods?

An ultra-leftist and trans discord I'm in called Noire a man (in the context of not being the target audience of the bar).
I'm not sure how it is in Manhattan, but in my country, if you're in any city-like area there is a grocery within 2 minutes of walking at any time. You walk. Because it is next to home, you can do it every day or multiple times per day whenever you or your partner is outside. Maybe if you need like 20kg of groceries at once, you drive/bike/cart the 50-100m to the grocery. Chances are, if you have toddlers, you have a grocery compartment in the stroller anyway.

Maybe he should have clarified the misunderstanding instead of assuming disrespect. Or is that only an onus placed on countries that aren't USA?

Maybe they should put someone who doesn't make very obvious misunderstandings in charge of Trump's social media.

Ok, Denmark is a very special boy with very important traditions we understand and respect.
What kind of response do you expect to that kind of attitude?

Random bullshit you have to deal with every day is one of the important things.

You would? You would start a likely nuclear war that would kill many times more people than Covid? That's deeply insane.
I mean, retaliation that costs you more than what you're retaliating for is just politics 101. If you're not insane enough to retaliate despite the costs, you get trampled.

Well, no, I never believed Yud had mind control powers. Maybe someone who's known for charismatic deeds, but not him. My theory was in fact that Yud's experiment assistants are too unusually AI-neurotic and weird to draw any conclusions other than "lesswrongers are afraid of being simulated".

The situation is still "the experiment assistant knows they're speaking to Yudkowsky, not a potentially all-powerful AI, they stand to win money if they simply refuse to let him win, and they still let him win". It would require at minimum that the assistant willingly pretends they're actually in the scenario where an AI could torture them, and I don't recall that being in the terms of the experiment.

The one that accomplished nothing I'm aware of and will be vastly more difficult to repeat when the ones you want to bomb don't even have to live next to you?
Indeed the very fact that it was done 30 years ago says something about the viability. Why isn't it done more? Asking purely hypothetically and not as a way to endorse, of course. But it's not like there aren't motives for such acts today.

Having the drone police/army to replace human police/army is priced into "not needing the consent of the governed".
The Second Amendment apologia usually goes "we might not have tanks or jets, but the occupation has to deploy boots on the ground to police us, and a rifle is enough to deter those". Good luck with that against something that doesn't have names, families, addresses or the fear of death.

A world of vice-ridden indolents would be utopian compared to the pessimistic scenario of "the psychopathic Haves simply stop sharing land and resources with the Have Nots once they no longer need our labor or the consent of the governed".

You know what I meant.
Of people. And not a territory with a particular set of borders and a flag.
