I mean, iirc the Germans were buying guns to fight Actual Communism and other far-left boogiemen they perceived to have infiltrated their political system. The road from there to Actual Fascism was enabled and supported by a diverse working

I find this comment so funny I burst out laughing. I cannot tell whether you're serious.

No, it is similar. I think the analogy is that you being the horse and AI being cars. You are to upcoming AI what a horse was to cars.

I'm convinced what we are witnessing is that there are genius level engineers (lots of them) that are and many have always been sub-par communicators. I think being a good communicator tracks really well with how much someone can get o

You know, given this is the third time I have read this exact text block I have: a) increased my credence that this is a bot b) increased my credence that you're spreading ideological bs claims not worth investigating further, despite

Never understood how. Law is messy. There is no algorithm that can properly capture it.

Its not telemetry its Microsoft + telemetry that people are up in arms over. Catch JetBrains doing something dodgy enough and there will be a similar shitstorm against them.

If "nanny state" is an important causal factor explaining why the museums are behaving this way, it suggests other nanny states could see similar museum behavior? So how are museums in Singapore treating 3D scans?

Can someone smarter than me explain to me why we haven't moved away from email yet, or why there hasn't been a move away from it? I don't understand why we don't have some opt-in infrastructure replacing emails. E.g. you

I think Americans have lost hope as well. I think in America it isn't hope for a better tomorrow that is driving politics anymore, it is fear for a worse tomorrow. I don't know how things are in India, but I imagine people have lo

Isn't this better explained by the US's atrocious two-party system that has over the years hyper-polarized politics (multiplied 10x further by social media?)? I can remember 10 years ago it was much easier to discuss controversial

Strong agree and strong upvote. An intuition pump is to think of a religious zealot that has a drastically different worldview and aims and drives from you that seem completely nonsensical (e.g. perhaps not caring about wealth accumulation

What'll happen in both industries is the same that will happen everywhere else: adopt or die. The huge winners will be those that creatively use this new tool without 100% relying on it to do everything.

I think you are confusing intelligence with consciousness. They're orthogonal. Otherwise I do not know what definition of intelligence you are using. For me I just use wiki's: "Intelligence can be described as the ability to

If statistically companies are making more money in the long run giving more control to AI... that is exactly what they will do it - and it will be rational for companies to do that. And the people not doing it will be labeled unmodern, fal

Always seems to me that the goalposts keep moving as capabilities of AI improves. I swear to God we could have AGI+robotics capable of doing anything a human can do (but better) and we'll still - as a species - have multi-hour podcasts

I wonder if we'll see an AI Agent do a Crowdstrike-tier oops in our lifetime.

This analogy breaks down when you consider what "attention is all you need" did for us. A mere 5 years ago I was firmly on the camp (alongside linguists mainly) that believed intelligence requires more than just lots of data and a

I don't believe people who claim they can always tell the difference. I believe they believe their claims . I think they are mistaken about the empirical side of things if they were actually put to an objective test. Take an expert pro

This is a nice sentiment and I'm sure some people will get more nights of good sleep thinking about it, but it has its limits. If you're enslaved and treated horrendously or don't have your basic needs met who cares? To quote

This is why I abandoned it. And I am happier after I gave up on it. You want me to have how many services running just so I can have a calDav/cardDav server? And sometimes you'll just stop working because of some unrelated issue o
