The US is under attack, so the amount of anti-US propaganda is at an extreme. The lies told about the US government or what it's doing or why it's doing it are extreme. The US is applying unitary executive theory to bypass gridlo

Pointless has a couple interpretations and regardless which one you pick, your argument is hard to defend. If you're operating largely in rhetoric and vibe, then it was never logical to start with.

Since you asked my opinion, I will say that it is nuanced and have thought a lot about these topics. People need to have the power to influence their government and the government largely needs to operate in the interest of the people. It

LiquidAI LFM models are amazing, but very situational. IBM Granite series are also unique and interesting for trying to reduce liability and extend local context size. Nvidia ships some and there was also that Inkling model recently. Poo

There are many things that can have some decent level of automatic verification and those were some of the first for LLMs to excel at, like math and programming. Now, physics involves math, but verification would still often require some f

Or are humans more of a bottleneck than before, because to improve on the most complex problems that demonstrate intelligence you need some way to verify that they are correct. If it's hard for humans to even know if something is corr

I've already seen all those quotes and interviews. You're mischaracterizing them. He's probably not wrong that you have to be a certain kind of person that can stomach the inherent violence involved, that doesn't mean y

Ok, so that's one reason. It's not the only reason, because we don't commit so many assets for simply one reason. It usually requires many simultaneous overlapping reasons for us to do that. It is not a simple careless whi

If killing people is gross (which I agree with), then we should kill the people that kill the people, right? Or should people that kill people run rampant, because nobody should ever kill them? If they should be killed, then they should be

It is completely logically unsupportable that the war is pointless, so your claim is so flat and empty that there is no need to do anything other than point out that weakness in your claim. Go do a couple searches real quick and see what so

If you don't understand history or what's going on in the world, everything will seem pointless and you will fall easy prey to anyone telling you what you should believe. You have so many tools at your disposal for learning, you r

The problem is that China, Russia, Iran and so on have all been accelerating their weapons manufacturing. Go complain to them. If nobody in the world was manufacturing any weapons and it was fully observable from space, nobody would have c

I do think this is an interesting topic. You can take the perspective that the government shouldn't have a monopoly on approving who can communicate over the airwaves so long as they aren't committing a crime and also shouldn&#x2

This propaganda against Palmer Luckey completely lacks any critical thinking. Then again, I guess all propaganda is targeted at people who aren't critical thinkers to start with, so that's why it ends up working. I've seen t

He's not a war profiteer, he's a peace profiteer. His philosophy is peace through strength, not profit through death. He even strongly emphasizes saving lives through weapons with better precision, which has been the trajectory

Is this a misunderstanding of what the double slit experiment actually means, or am I misinterpreting it? If this is based on the idea that reality changes strictly as a result of a conscious observer existing and it is somehow related to

Some of your logic isn't exactly wrong, though just because someone can walk away doesn't mean they have to or want to. I simply mean that for the US alone from an isolationist stance, a lot of the primary and secondary goals are

Vietnam and Iraq were both unpopular wars in their own ways, so they don't seem like good examples if you're trying to find examples of what US citizens support. Also, a country surveilling its own citizens has unique and differen

Cars can be used to escape, or to attack. Guns and knives can be used to defend or to attack. AI has multiple uses. Military attacks can also save lives. As they say, the best defense is a good offense. The moral element of it largely fa
